Hello and welcome back to the 2024 ramco formula 4 Saudi Arabia Championship we’re here live this weekend at the beautiful jeda cor Niche circuit for the invest Saudi Gulf Prix as always my name is Aaron Thompson and in just a few moments ladies and gentlemen we’ll be

Getting uh underway for race three the final race here of the invest Saudi Gulf pre as you can see uh in fact the jeda Cornish Cornish means Coast here in Saudi Arabia that’s exactly where we are we’re on the coast Road of the beautiful jeda uh City and the Beautiful jeda

Street circuit and I’ve just had word from race control there’s going to be a 15minute delay to the race start but not to worry I’ll keep you entertained ladies and gentlemen in a few moments I’ll be joined by Luca Philip one of our fantastic driver coaches LCA actually a

Formula 2 driver he’s a Formula 1 Test driver Peri test driver and I’m sure many many more things as well that uh that I’m not allowed to know about uh but he’s a he’s a wealth of knowledge and experience and he keeps us informed on tires and racing line and uh well

It’s uh ladies and gentlemen it’s hard to get him to go away from the circuit and go home to the hotel at night cuz if he could I think he’d stay here and he’d never leave uh and in I believe in a few minutes we’ll be heading down to the GD

With marelo pesi one of our other driver coaches and he’ll have some interviews for us to run through and uh and in about 15 minutes we’ll have a pit Lane open race two results here ladies and gentlemen we’re going to run through quickly um uh we have fisel Al cabani in

The silver number seven car in first position his second uh his second uh victory for Saudi Arabia fantastic fantastic news for Arabia there and I’m sure fisel and his family are very very happy P2 is Omar Al dryan in the yellow number 18 car uh he um that’s his second

P2 and I’m sure he’s going to be happy but he’s not going to be as happy as fisel Al cabani KR kov in the light blue number 23 car rounds out the top three uh just behind him we have Amna alabasi in the purple number 88 car while Laura

Ville is in the dark blue number 55 rounds out the top five jabber Alani snatches his second rookie third podium in the carbon Number 96 driving of course forar Jabber uh steadily increasing as we uh as we go through the championship while Andre pic finishes p7 Andre had a very very strong race

Managing to work his way up into P3 at one point but unfortunately a collision took out his nose and he wasn’t able to continue p8 we have ham alabasi the purple number eight car uh an amirati driver with a lot of experience she’s racing in F1 Academy I believe she’s a

Red Bull driver as well and uh she’s keeping this all on toes uh but she also uh suffered I believe the same incident as Andre pic she lost her her front wing and uh that caused her some issues let’s head down now to marello and have a quick word with the

Drivers maybe we start backwards a bit here we are for the third race of the day and the last one we are going with the full uh points for this race starting from the first row to get some words from from the PO sitter of the

First of the third race and the winner of the first race Andre Petrovic so Andre you did the first race with the new tire this time you’re going out with old the tires you think you can make it or at least try to to go for it I don’t

Think it’s going to be a big problem these tirs are not very old just from qualifying I don’t think it’s going to be a big difference and I think if I keep the lead on the start I can keep it till the end of the race so today is uh

Seem to be a lot warmer than yesterday uh did you feel it on track I mean there is a more tie degradation by the end of the race how did you feel it on the first race yeah in the first race in the last five laps I was just managing the

Gap between me and the car behind because the tires were starting to drop off a little bit and I think if I pushed flat out they would have been dead by the end of the race but now if I get clean air I think uh it’s just going to

Be a matter of saving the tires and to push in the end of the race so the first start of the first first race was okay you think this time will make it uh better and try to be P1 already in the first corner I hope

So good luck for the start let’s going on on the grid we have in second position sakir ham is not here yet but let’s get some word with uh Oscar V that unfortunately Oscar missed the second race and now he ready for the third one so Oscar how are your expectation for

This one I mean you have been pretty fast uh all the uh way yesterday and uh even in the first phace uh yeah for the first I need to know where I’m starting uh they keep on changing the um the sting order so I I thought I was stting

P3 now maybe stting P4 uh before I was supposed P5 um yeah uh I don’t know uh I hope I hope it goes well a bit frustrated um from the the first race and as well to not start the second race is also a bit frustrating but but uh you

Know it’s all about learning and I think I have we’ve saved some good tires for this race but so have everybody around us so and we to see it’s a tricky track and um Confluence us a lot around here so yeah so I hope I hope I can do well

But we’ll see did you do any change on your setup uh between the first and the third race you don’t want to share the secret I know I don’t think I don’t think we did but uh maybe we did maybe we didn’t who knows okay I got it good luck Oscar okay

Let’s get some word from hamda that is uh starting in the second row hamai is uh one of the most experience full driver on the grid but pretty young and so hamda uh the first race was pretty good the second had a a problem with the front Wing what about

The third one yeah I think uh in the second race it was a bit of a Pity because I lost a few points and it was an incident I couldn’t really avoid but uh yeah now for race three we start P3 and we have good sets of tires so yeah

Just looking ahead and trying to get on the podium so this truck you have been racing already with the academy it’s really tricky truck well the toe can really make the difference and standing in the to and help you to get really good uh speed at the end of the straight

But still we have seen that it’s pretty tricky over taking at T1 yeah it’s really tricky cuz even if some the one in front defends you have the wall so you can’t really try to make a move it’s really difficult but uh yeah I think

It’s it’s just a big risk uh in general that’s why not a lot of overtakes happen but uh I think yeah with the right amount of speed the right amount of exit it’s uh you’re able to do it but yeah you just have to get it

Right okay so good luck for your race then I’m done so let’s go uh on on the grid and and see if we can uh get some other secret from the other driver that are here ready to go we have suan zamari that had a an incident in the second

Race but his car is ready to go suan need a really fast driver has been winning already some races in the championship had been fighting for the first part of the championship so sulan what about this track it’s really tricky not easy overtaking even too uh helping

A bit what about this race uh well this race my plan CU is make a good start be smart make the right move at the rights and and I’m very confident we can get on the podium okay so are you running with good tires or so and so tired no we are

Running with the best that we have so so I just want to exct the maximum and at the end you’ll be fine just we keep pushing and we never give up okay good luck for the race suan so let’s have some more from hamna that is right behind Oscar vs so Amna

Uh what about this race it’s really tricky track you have been doing pretty good so far do you think you can aim for the podium I think it will be a little difficult cuz I’m at a disadvantage with tires uh the first race I got pushed out

And it’s been flat spotted so I’ve been on one set the entire time but hopefully I don’t know I have some luck this race so good luck for the race sna going on with the driver on the grid we have the winner of the second race The Local Hero FAL

Aabani so FAL the second race was amazing you did an amazing job overtaking taking the lead and pulling away now your ties I don’t think are as good as before but your pace before was really good what do you think about this race uh it’s going to be a a tricky one

We’re starting quite back on on some used tires so uh it’s just again about maximizing um what we can do at the start and try to make some good moves okay let’s hope for it and enjoy it you’re welcome so going on on the the grid we

Have some card that that’s missing for the moment let’s hope the mechanic can make the magic work and let the people be running and ready to go let’s get some words from one of the title Contender we are here with the the amirati driver Federico RI ready to go

Well he missed the second race unfortunately but now it’s uh uh ready to go for the third and uh uh the last race of uh uh this weekend so Federico uh unfortunately you missed the second one but you’re ready for the third one just tell me how hard you are going for

This race since you are still fighting for the championship starting position obviously is not great I will try to get as many positions as I can to try and Salvage as many points as I can okay Federico really really uh good luck for your race and let’s give it

All that’s going on getting some uh words from Omar Alan that just scor a podium in the second race of uh this weekend Omar is another local uh driver so Omar uh this time you are a little bit uh more distant from uh the first row what about this race we’re just

Going to send it like we always do it’s always the same thing you just go out there and drive drive my heart out well you’re always trying really hard trying to gain Advantage from the very beginning well the second race was really good for you uh now you have a

Lot of quick people in the front you’re going to send it but do you have any strategy or just try hard every corner to be honest with you I know Fredrico is quick so I might just follow him through and see what happens pull a carding move okay Omar good

Luck so going on getting some more uh words from the driver ready to go we have laa V they did really good race one of the best race of the season so far LA is getting a lot of experience as a different uh program for the next part

Of the season but this is uh uh is best result so far so the previous race was really wonderful for you you were able to stay close to the first people on the grid what about the next one yeah I think uh now I know well the track I’m

Going to do even better so I will do my best okay really really good job in the previous race and good luck for the next one so let’s get some more from sa sa that unfortunately on the previous race he was in trouble with some other

Drivers so he span and he was not able to finish the second race where he was doing really good so s uh we are going for the last race of this weekend not so lucky so far you have been hitting in the previous one uh you were fighting

Really like a lion but let’s uh hope for the next one yeah so like you said uh I got a bit unlucky in both the races spun out in both of the races but uh now we’re a bit in the back we have a lot of fast drivers in front we’ll follow them

And uh make sure that we don’t make contact again okay so uh let’s try to give it all on this one and good luck for your race we are going on on the last part of the grid we have another Local Hero abdulaziz Abu Zen abdulaziz had a

Unfortunate first race where he had a problem on the car but now here it is his green car it’s ready to go well Abdul Aid you are doing really good you are getting better Race by race you had no experience before this formula 4 you

Make a big step from the first race so what is your uh Target for this race uh my target for this race is to mainly land points and um hopefully maybe top five wow that is really good Target I mean you are doing really good job so I

Hope you can you can do it just play smart let’s give it all you’re welcome okay so let’s go to get some more from uh Jabor Jabor B halan just score another podium in the rookie category ja really good race before you get really nice overtake even from one of the

Quickest driver on the grid yeah thank you I mean uh that overtake honestly was um pretty useful for me I had an advantage and he had a disadvantage he lost the front Wing because of some damage so he was faster than me on the straights and I was quicker on the

Corners so I managed to catch up with him through the corners yeah was really nice move and the second last lap so uh really the really last moment moment but really good what about this race what are your expectation for this one uh hopefully this race is just as chaotic as the last

One um so many people went wide made mistakes and hopefully I say consistent enough to take advantage of that okay Jabor good luck for the race and let’s give it all like always okay we are done with the grid of formula 4 so it’s time to race enjoy this last race of the

Weekend thank you very very much marello it was uh an excellent experience to be able to run through the whole grid I don’t think we’ve had a chance to talk to some of the drivers on the grid before uh but now that we’ve uh we’ve

Got a little bit of time in our in our hands we’ve gone through everybody and we’ve heard what they had to say and I think some of them made some uh very interesting points and I think I’m very excited to see Omar Alani send it coming into turn one

Let’s have a quick run through the starting order now here we go ladies and gentlemen in Pole Position Andre Petrovic the red number 49 driving for Serbia he’s up there in Pole Position by virtue of his third fastest lap from qualifying if you remember all the way back three or four

Hours ago when Luca Filipe pointed this out in qualifying that he had two fantastic laps uh already in his his pocket and that set him up very very well indeed for this uh for this weekend uh P2 he’s joined by Sager Alma in the light blue number five car a little bit

Of bad luck for sagger in the last race he he had contact with the orange number 52 of Solomon Zan fari I believe Sager and Solomon both ended up coming back to the pit Lane with uh Wishbone damage the Kuwaiti driver however up in P2 now at

The start of this the final race of the weekend and I’m sure he’s going to have something to show us coming down into P1 because it seems to me like he’s had the pace the whole weekend top five in qualifying and uh top five in qualifying and really sending it every chance he

Has and uh well we’d love to see him back on the top step of the podium like he was in Kuwait his hometown ham alabasi takes the first step of the second row of the grid she is in the purple number eight car she’s an emirati driver of course hamda driving for F1

Academy I believe she’s with Red Bull as well she’s uh joining us this season with her sister the the sister is driving in team purple and Hamer of course P3 here for the final race of the weekend alongside Oscar wartz in the white number 11 car Oscar has had a bit

Of bad luck uh in uh in race two we found an issue with his clutch at the end of the first race and the mechanics decided that uh in order to to ensure that he could be on track in race three uh in order to ensure that he could be

On track in race three uh which is a full point scoring race the mechanics took the decision to uh repair the vehicle uh and unfortunately uh there just wasn’t enough time to have get him on track for a race two but uh in the aggre I think that’s the way to go at

Least uh everybody seems to decide that’s the best uh the best way to go through with it P5 we have kurl kov the light blue blue number 23 kill having a good second race a good first race a good qualifying it’s a good weekend overall for kill kov starting P5 on the

Grid now I’m sure he’s aiming to get up onto the podium in this the final race of the weekend the purple 88 of Amna alabes is next she takes P6 and she’s been a very very strong driver this whole season and I’m sure she’s got more

To show us as well this weekend but she’s going to have to battle with Krill behind her and Solomon Zen far with Krill beside her and Solomon zenfari behind her speaking of zenfari here he is the orange number 52 the Moroccan driver has shown us a lot this season

And this weekend as well he’s struggling a little bit he’s not up on the to Podium as we usually expect him to be but I’m sure in this the final race of the weekend he’s uh planning to show us everything that he’s made of and if not don’t worry ladies and gentlemen we’re

Back in three days time and he’ll get another chance at exactly that federo alfi in the white number 10 car is next up roo as uh really he’s a serious Championship Contender and starting p8 he’s going to have to uh get his socks going because Andre Petrovic is in P1

Fisa Al cabani and Omar aled aldani round out your top 10 the green number the sorry the green the silver number seven and the yellow number 18 well s Al s in the green number three a new driver to us this weekend is P1 ahead of Lara

Villas in the blue number 55 and jabber Alani in the cbon Number 96 takes the stop spot of the final row of the grid ahead of abdulaziz Abu zanada in the green number 99 well Luca we’ve got a very very interesting starting grid uh for you in

This the final race of the invest Saudi Gulf Prix here at the Jed corish circuit uh coming down into Corner one what do you think is going to happen because Andre Petrovic is on the outside which gives him the inside line coming into turn two and we’ve seen that he can make

Things happen but zag alash is going to is going to give it everything he can coming down into the T one yes so um uh scker generally speaking uh hasn’t been performing uh e starts uh super well but he’s improving Race by Race So I really

Wish him he can have the best start possible because uh it’s the key for uh uh his result because sakare is one of the best in uh managing the tires is uh really consistent he’s a he has a very clean uh uh driving style so he’s very keen to the the tires and

He can save uh uh the tires maybe better than anybody but uh he has to make sure that um he has to to have a good start while uh behind him we have normally amda and uh and WS that they are very good starters and uh and Andre with a very little experience

In Formula cars is been really good as well in the starts even if it doesn’t have so much experience but it’s being able to improve and and learn very quickly how to have a proper start so uh turn one is definitely one of the keys

As we have seen uh some context over the course of uh the event so far over the course of the event we’ve seen a a lot of action on track Turn One turn two uh specifically interesting uh uh to to watch out for turn 13 as well

I’m Keen to see an overtake there Luca put the idea in my head in qualifying and I haven’t managed to get it out just yet and I’m sure these young drivers are going to show us something very soon indeed uh 20 seconds uh I believe until

The green flag and we see there the red number 49 of Andre Petrovic and his team Aline car it does look fantastic that red chassis yes absolutely and um it has been uh it’s been really um one of the cars that stands out because uh for this weekend we only have

Uh one red car and uh Andre he found uh so much speed uh since Qatar he really came to Qatar with the attitude of uh trying and win races and potentially the championship and he really pulled uh fantastic uh races and and and I would say performances and so far this weekend is

Been uh a little bit on a slightly higher level compared to everyone else so what is everybody going to try and do is to try and uh keep him behind uh since uh the first corner talking about Corners Lo C I believe we’re going to have the circuit guide in just a moment

Would you be so kind to talk us through it one last time and if you could throw in a little bit of new information you haven’t mentioned before we appreciate it greatly this is one of those uh U circuit that has been built on existing roads but they had to create this

Sequence of Corners the concept behind it was to generate very high minimum speed turn one and a heavy breaking so trying to maximize the overtaking while all this section it was to try and have an even usage of uh uh tire wear over the lap also because this lap is

Anticlockwise which is quite rare in uh modern uh racing then uh as you can see many fast Corners are turning to the right like it is um uh like it is turned eight and N like it is also 14 and uh uh 24 and these fast Corners so they try

And even the tire wear you have right to left while uh uh turn 27 is another potential overtaking place we have seen more than once is a very long uh circuit more than 6 kilometers uh quite new but it looks like it will stay for uh for a few years

Because uh it will start when it starts it was supposed to be just provisional but everybody’s really excited from this place and uh it looks like uh it’s more permanent than provisional I would say well I believe they’re building a new circuit in Gilla which is going to be

Absolutely amazing and uh I and until then at the very least we jeder is going to keep us all entertained but I hope they keep it on the more circuits the better you have 8 or9 circuits in the UK a couple three four or five circuits in

In Italy the more circuits the better Luka we can go racing uh in Saudi the whole year long and Jed has been very beautiful and very kind to us and we’re glad to be here and we hope to come back very soon in fact we are coming back

Very soon in just three time three days time for the next race in the season coming down the back street now is this the green flag lap or the sighting lap or the formation lap lcer I won’t uh I won’t put my foot in my mouth this time it’s your

Turn yes so uh we just uh finished the sighting lab so everybody is um going to line on the GD and once everybody is aligned uh we will have uh uh just uh the the green lights the two green lights for everybody to go for one

More time around the the lap so the circuit is there a reason they’re keeping to the left hand side of the screen Luca instead of just going straight down to their boxes on the right hand side uh yeah sure is that um like we discussed before uh uh in

Practice the racing line is the clean Line This is why the B position is on the racing line which is in this case is the right and side which is the left of of the screen and um in the clean part uh you don’t collect dust or marbles or

Anything because the the racing line is clean so your tires uh uh stays clean and uh when the surface is really hot of the tire it sticks on the surface anything uh you you you go on which is uh scand or gravel or or marbles or

Anything and then when you start you may have a little bit more wheel spin if uh the surface is covered in uh a little dirt so everybody tries to stay as long as possible in uh the cling line and then at the very last minute they just

Go across in order to make the less distance possible over the slightly more Dusty part but you also see when people are overtaking uh in the straight or defending if you go all the way to the inside the more you go off the line the more dust uh you

See coming uh out of uh you know the the rear of the car so definitely even if it’s a close circuit uh uh and it’s generally clean is never as uh rubbered and uh and grippy as it is on on the RAC F yes indeed Robert and greasy on the

Off racing line that’s uh that’s uh that’s the way it is coming around here uh we can see that beautiful shot from the cherry picker I was there last night having a look uh myself we positioned uh the the crane for the cameras and you can really see everything from up there

If you’re if you’re brave enough and for at least once I was but maybe not again you know so coming down now we’re about halfway well about say 3/4 of the way uh around on this the formation lap formation lap I believe it is and in

Just a few moments we’ll be stopping on the grid all five lights will go on and as they go out we’ll be underway one last time here from the 27th to 28th of March for the invest Saudi Gulf free with Andre Petrovic leading us off the line besides sagger Alma in the light

Blue number five car coming down through turn 27 now Andre bunched everybody up quite nicely so he doesn’t have to worry about sitting on the grid too long or anything like that we can see everybody back out on grid which is a fantastic site to behold the entire procession

Coming around the final corner of the track what’s the breaking point at turn 27 just out of Interest yes is uh is uh 95 M to be very precise so right after the 100 m board and one last thing um one last thing is um great job from the

Mechanics that uh they made an amazing effort to get all the cars ready to go for the third race of the day even after a bit of a chaotic reversed race two with a bit of contact but uh they’ve been super quick and super efficient and we have everybody back and ready to

Race back and ready to race in indeed with the engineers looking on excitedly hoping for the drivers to to make that lead coming down into turn one everybody into their boxes now with the safety car at the back of the Grid on the left hand side of your screens you can see Andre

Pic pointing towards the inside of turn one four lights on five lights on and as they go out we are underway here for the final race at the Jedi Cornish circuit Andre Petrovic secures his position aggressively coming in front of the number five car of Sager Al maseri and

Down into turn one ham alabas makes a move up the inside and it’s a side by side with the white number 10 car I believe coming down through turn two and into turn three alabas seems to have held everybody off at Bay and Kil kov now making move around the outside but

He’s not quite close enough to do so as to come through down into turns four five and six continuing down into the second half of the track coming around now you can see at the front of the grid Andre Petrovic just dashed off to the left hand side of your screens while sag

Follows him through and ham alabasi takes up the third position spot and I believe I saw Omar Al as well just exting your screens a moment ago in his yellow racing machine up the top right you can see Omar there now he’s going to

Make a move on the number 88 car that is Amna alabasi but thecid against it has to come down into turn 13 I think it’s because I keep telling them there’s going to be an overtake at turn 13 LCA that nobody’s quite tried it yet he’s

Trying to make a gap Andre he’s really pushing hard he wants to make a gap and don’t give anybody the slep stream while uh it was really really Brave and good and the right time the maneuver from amda from the outside that she was able to maintain third place and stay in

Front of VZ I think that was a really important move from amda and then she managed to keep third position yeah she locked it in quite nicely indeed and just behind she’s got another white car is that Fredrico alfi or is that Oscar wz Oscar wz ladies and gentlemen in P4

Oscar’s got his sight set on the podium for this race I’m sure so he’s going to be all over the back of the purple number eight car the gap between the drivers almost non-existent as they come down into turn 27 who is going to get the better exit looked to me like hamda

Went a little bit higher on the curb than the white car behind her and he may have gotten a slightly better exit but it’s not quite enough as they come down the main straight now you can see Andre Petrovic is stretching his legs at the front of the grid and alabasi in the

Purple number eight car is uh under attack from Oscar WS in the white number 11 he’s not quite close enough to make a move yet but he will be very soon indeed if in fact he is not overtaken by the car behind him the blue number 23 of Kil

Kov who has something to prove here this weekend P2 in qualifying fantastic race one and two for him and now he’s trying to get back up to the podium once again yeah K looks like he has a lot of uh Pace since when we arrived and uh he had

A very strong weekend so far and Oscar W uh he just fought for the position with amda and amda was really good at keeping the outside into turn one and then being inside for turn two but now uh the fight for the thir of the podium is uh between

At least four or five Five Guys and let’s see how how that goes I’m very very excited to see it myself as Sager almi uh is coming around in P2 once again and he’s uh he has dropped back a little bit from Andre who’s really put his foot down and that

Uh that may work in or against his favor because zaga may be able to hold on to his tires a little bit better and we may see him catch back up at the end of the race that’s another nine laps to go I believe uh and uh well there time for

Him to try just try uh yet as we come back now on screen you can see the red number 49 of Andre bovic the light blue number number five of saer Alm and the purple number eight of ham alabasi passing underneath us as we pivot around

We can see Omar Alin as well at the back of this pack Omar had a fantastic race to a huge fight with himself and his compatriot the Silver Bullet fisel Alani and the silver number seven car mov now up the inside by kill kov on the number

11 car the white car of Oscar ws and he’s in trouble ladies and gentlemen because rodrico Ali his teammate in the sister white car the number 10 car is coming up right beside him he’s on his left hand side he’s almost wheel tohe as they come down the main straight now

Kill kutoff and Oscar wz are still side by side if wz can maintain this inside line he might be able to make something and he switches back up the inside of turn one now he’s going to be on the outside of turn two but kill kuskov goes

Off track and he’s going to have to give that position back or he’s going to be penalized this race but meantime ladies and gentlemen fro alfi in the white number 10 car is all over the back of his of his colleagues white number 11 and we’re going to see a lot of action

Going on track and the next few laps as these cars battle it out for track position uh kusov up into P4 now but as we said he did go off track to make that happen so he may well be well advised to give that position back or suffer the

Penalty and uh well Luka what would as you said before you can’t do that you’ve got to you’ve got to get then give the position back you have to take overtake seriously and professionally and that’s what we want here that’s everybody’s looking for and uh Krill I’m sure is

Going to have a think about it and and give the position back and he’s going to have to do it soon cuz you’ve only got four or five corners to do it how you incur the penalty yeah so it has happened exactly to him in the previous

Race and he did give the position back so he’s aware he knows uh what is the rule uh we have had a similar situation in race one where both uh uh Almo Sheri and um zamari were penalized for not giving the position back so uh unfortunately if he won’t give it back

I’m afraid he he will face a potential 5 Seconds penalty which it will be very harsh because it could be three four five places potentially in this race uh the move from uh uh him was really nice into the final corner but then how vs reacted it has been really Brave and uh

The very last minute so he went to the inside and I think that it was a how you say like the maneuver was completed so he should have had a position over K it was a brilliant move by wordss wasn’t it it was an absolutely fantastic move by

Wz but just back to the front of the grid for the moment you can see the pit Marshall the uh the mechanic out with his pit board for Andre Petrovic very very happy indeed with the performance so far as Oscar wordss now under attack by the white number 10 car uh Fredo

Looking for position but can’t quite make it do seem to get a slightly better exit or a much better exit coming out of turn one and they’re going to be alongside now coming down into turns three and four is he going to make a move he’s about halfway along not quite

Enough to make a move coming down into this section of the track and it looked to me like he went off onto the runoff as well and he has fallen back slightly because of that and now he’s being swept up by the orange number 52 of Solomon

Zanar zenfari not had the best weekend of the season so far and he may be able to redeem himself in just a moment’s time if he can make a move on Fredo alrai in the white number 10 card just ahead of him Fredo alrai having lost a

Little bit of momentum a few cor his back having tried to make a move up the inside around the outside and every other way you could possibly imagine on Oscar wz in the white number 11 card can’t didn’t quite manage to make a stick went on to the runoff loss of the

Speed and zenfari is now right up uh right up behind him uh but hasn’t seem to manage to take advantage of that occurrence well it looks like uh Oscar unfortunately in this race is uh is lacking a little bit of of pace compared to what we have seen in qualifying and

In uh in race one and uh by defending they lost a bit of ground to uh Kil and am so from uh what is a potential Podium fight and Andre petroi is really pulling away master class this weekend from him Saker doing an amazing job and now we

Have a fight for uh thir Place well back to the front of the grid just briefly we have uh oh here we go AMD alabasi and the number 23 car of Gill kov speaking of Gill kov just in from race control ladies and gentlemen he’s got a 5sec

Time penalty for that overtake on the inside of uh the runoff at turn one on Oscar warts the white number 11 car just behind him now coming down the main straight it’s going to be a fantastic tow for the light blue car of kill good

Scy ducks to the outside now the mar the the mechanics are out with their pit boards urging the drivers on as they come down into turn one uh kill tries on the outside a very nice and clean maneuver from him down into turns two and three he closes the door on am alasi

In the purple number eight car so now we have uh K kco the investigation for that uh maneuver we spoke about and he’s doing an Amazing Race brilon race and his pace is super quick and potentially he could fight second place but uh yeah now we got 5 Seconds

Penalty added to the race time it’s such a shame because he’s doing an amazing race he could have been potentially second in this race let’s see if he has the base to try and fight for the place to aleri but uh I mean he should have seen this

Coming because we have seen this already during the day and uh it’s a bit of a shame that he just didn’t read the the situation U that opportunity yes it is a shame it’s unfortunate but uh if he gets his right foot down maybe he can try and uh try

And get himself up further but it’s a lot of ground to cover and uh well it’s nothing for Guarantee here in in Motorsport at all and certainly not in a street circuit here like the Jedi cor nishe circuit a beautiful circuit in fact you can see under the lights it

Really really comes to life Andre pic still in the top spot you saw him just a moment ago in the bottom right of your screens behind him Sager Al maeri almi really having a good clean race he’s he’s fallen back slightly from Andre Petrovic but I think he’s just in the

Window there maintaining his tires I think uh his strategy here is to is to get that second place and to to take the points for that second place and build on there and uh see what he can do in the championship standings well this is uh it’s been uh a

Day that could change quite a bit uh the championship borders as uh Federico is aris in 60s now the leader of the the championship he could potentially gain a place if he can maintain a a GU of uh 5 Seconds to to kov but otherwise he will lose quite a bit of

Points to uh Petrovic who could uh even become the new leader of the series uh he could indeed the returning Champion as you you might call him CU he was up on the top stop before got kicked off by Fredo alrai and after this after

This race weekend he may well be back up there we’ll have to calculate the results as soon as possible possible and see exactly what standards are meanwhile back on track we have the two white cars of Oscar ws and Fredo Ali battling it out for fifth and sixth the two drivers

Separated by about 5/10 of a second so we are expecting them to to move into an overtaking window but it does seem as if RI just can’t find his way past where it’s in the white number 11 well uh talking about um Pace uh Petrovic is uh definitely the fastest

Guy on track he is generally three four 510 3410 faster than uh more or less the rest of the group kill is closing little by little to sakare only one or two t so very little is also benefit is gets the benefit from the slip stream ah but

Let’s see um in this point scker you know for sure he doesn’t know about the penalty of of Gill I just wish these two they don’t uh you know fight too hard uh when uh they are basically doing a slightly different race you know what I mean uh because actually physically Kil

Is fighting with Saker but virtually is 5 seconds behind yeah I take your meaning but uh kill’s got no choice he’s got that penalty he’s got to try to do something about it and the two light blue cars have been battling it out all season so

Far uh just uh message in from race control that 5sec penalty is confirmed and I believe there’s an investigation on uh car 3 as well uh so we’ll get all those uh briefly up on the timing screen I’m sure and of course at the bottom of the result sheets as always coming

Around now we can see that the number 23 car of kill kov is uh really pushing as high as he can as he should be and his teammate is just in front of him the light blue number five car of Sager Al just behind them the purple number eight

Of amda alabes and she is of course followed by Oscar white on the white number 11 it’s been a good clean race from W so far he’s not exactly where he wants to be but he’s sweeping up those points uh top five finish is really what

He needs to to to round out the weekend uh of course everybody wants to be up the top step of the podium but uh that’s not always how uh how it works out and I think what’s really impressed me about words so far is his ability to just come

Back and and go again you know in a similar fashion to Andre Petrovic you know nothing seems to phase him he he you know he has an issue or he has an accident or he has an unfavorable decision from the from the stewards uh which happens to all the drivers in the

World it happens to Michael schacker and it happens to everybody uh but he’s no he continues on he doesn’t let it face him just you know takes a breath calms down and gets going again and that’s uh that’s exactly uh What uh well it’s the only strategy I believe uh luuka what’s

Your take on things where are we going now and uh do you think anybody’s got a chance of challenging Petrovic so Petrovic forget about he’s just done the fastest lap of the race 279 and is one second faster than everybody in this lap so not one second but almost like he’s

Really on other planet pushing and pushing and pushing when you you are in a street truck and you are pushing lap by lap you are getting into this uh I don’t know it’s it’s like um a bit of a um different dimension where you try and

Go closer and closer to the wall on your right and then on your left and then it becomes like a dance from one corner to the other and it is the best uh feeling ever so the push because he’s enjoying you know he’s just loving it and uh

And he’s improving lap by lap and now again just because he’s is literally shaving all little details inches here and there and uh is feeling like a bit of a super human no in this situation and um on the other side we have Saker and kiril very close with kiril only 5

T0 of a second behind but we have WS that is closing to amda so WS just had a bit of a uh difficult situation maybe he had a bit of locking we have seen maybe over the tires now the tires destabilize and he fast again so he’s just is done his best

Lap of the race in the coming lap in the last lap and he’s as fast as K and sakare so he has the pace to be there second third but he’s lost a bit of ground uh in the first part of the race maybe a bit of concentration or just uh

Uh he was uh out of the working R of retire for a few laps now he put his head down and uh he pull again a bit of Gap to refy which is a little bit struggling in this race and uh Oscar is now in fifth with the virtual

Uh fourth place because of the penalty of K coming around the last corner now once again you can see Team light blue I believe that’s actually called sea sea Bree blue uh from uh from the supplier beautiful color everyone seems to love it coming down the main straet now

Though Sager almi is uh still uh in the lead in this particular battle with his teammate the light blue number 23 just behind him kitov uh I think uh has to take the decision here to not do anything too aggressive he needs to what he needs is more Championship points and

He kind afford uh a collision with his teammate uh taking away more points from him so do you think uh he’s got it in his head that P3 is uh P3 is it is this is it for this race unless he sees a nice big gap or is he pushing until the

This is1 millionar dollar question because he’s been quite wise this weekend overall I would say very wise if you just uh uh gave the position back few laps earlier but he been doing great job in qualifying in all the races with two podiums so far and virtually is is

Is a third one so his bace this weekend has been uh incredible generally the second best of the weekend after Andre and um I’m very happy with this weekend so I’m sure he will uh do the best uh thing uh to to finish uh this weekend on a

High it’s just a shame that this uh 5sec penalty will be will be sort of uh build different difficult pill to swallow this is what you said yeah difficult pill to swallow uh but you can’t win every fight and unfortunately that’s how the cookie crumbles sometimes and if if anybody’s got any more

Metaphors or or whatever they’re called please feel them feel feel to mail them in and I’ll try to get them on air uh okay coming back to the action now we can see that Oscar warts is all over the back of that purple car in front of him

Is that Amna alabasi yes indeed it is the number eight mram driver uh he did seem to be particularly close coming out of the back of that corner L yes and um that’s a a good opportunity as it is uh the last lab and that’s for the

Podium that’s for the podium that’s a very important spot and uh yes indeed this is actually the battle for third place between alabasi and wz while back to the front of the good you got to pay some love for the man who led from the first lap put

Himself on pull and has just stretched his lead up to 8 seconds and what he’s doing now is testing for next weekend cuz he’s really uh he’s really uh got it going on you think he’s feeling with this whole thing out and uh and ladies and gentlemen you may be looking at a

Future world champion and uh well it’s a hell of a sight coming down now through the second half of the circuit you can see all the cars proceeding through the uh now down into turn 13 in just a moment’s time W just a little bit too

Far back to make a move on alabasi as they come into turn 13 so unfortunately we’re going to have to hold off until next weekend to see that overtake at this corner that I’ve been promising everybody since qualifying back to the battle between team C breze sagra Maser

Has managed to hold off put off and uh Oscar WS on screen at the moment in the white number 11 car if he could just find a way past alabas he’d be up onto the poan and that’s exactly what he wants but unfortunately he’s just a

Little bit too far back at the moment 410 of a second as they crossed the start and finish line but it did look to be a little bit more than that when we saw him on screen just a moment ago but hopefully coming down into turn 27 he

May be able to make a move and talking about turn 27 Here Comes Andre Petrovic in the red number n number 49 car driving for Serbia this uh weekend you’ll see him coming around now in just a moment’s time and there he is indeed ladies and gentlemen what a beautiful

Sight to behold put himself in po position LED from the first lap stretch his lead up to 8 seconds and in just a few seconds time he’s going to take the checked flag he knows what’s coming we all know what’s coming it’s well deserved indeed a big round of applause

For the Serbian driver is just behind him sag Al maseri crosses the line in second position for Kuwait and behind him kill kov while Amna alabasi HS on to P4 and Oscar wordss crosses in P5 virtually of course though that means could SC with 5sec penalty is going to be

P5 while alabasi is P3 and wz is P4 so that’s a very very good end for everybody to this race and uh well with that luuka really I’ve got to jump down to the podium so uh would you keep the ladies and gentlemen entertained for me for a few

Minutes yes so he’s still pushing so I guess he’s enjoying a lot uh this circuit and uh this is bad news for everybody uh because we are racing again um next uh Monday here and uh next Monday this guy will be the guy to beat I guess as it

Has been uh super quick through uh the testing yesterday through the race the races today and uh well it’s uh some of the guys will have quite a bit of uh homework to to do in these coming days looking at data looking at um looking at Telemetry looking at

Videos so for sure they have to analyze what is uh doing Special Andre since he arrived here in jeda as since he arrived uh he really felt uh at home at the circuit but it’s not just a circuit it’s also in Qatar we have seen uh him very competitive probably a

Little bit uh too ambitious in qualifying and uh because of that he has uh lost a bit of momentum for the weekend in Qatar but uh he was definitely one of the fastest um in Qatar as well we have seen him uh the testing and uh generally speaking has been driving super nicely

And uh he brought uh the same feeling and the same momentum uh here in uh in jeda and well today was uh an almost perfect weekend it could have done better in uh the first the second race when he was third and fighting for the podium he uh

T uh the rear end of fala cabani and uh lost the wing so finish in sixth but it could have been uh a three Podium for him over the over the weekend so here we have the winner of race one and three Andre Petrovic so happy really happy he’s

Really really talented guy really really well deserved uh I have to say that I really wish him uh uh the best not only for uh the rest of uh this Championship our series but also for the rest of uh of his career that uh can be definitely successful I have to

Say while uh we have also uh Andre really Happ his mining with his engineer and they did an amazing job uh together and uh they have to keep uh this momentum rolling uh into event tour three two and three here in jeda so and proud father congratulating to Andre definitely

They you know the family is always behind the driver both in the good days and in more difficult days and uh the you you cannot do anything different than bringing home your uh emotion expectation and results and uh definitely tonight they will go back to the hotel with happy faces as Saka moeri

Hopefully uh with a solid second place he found uh a very good speed very good consistency uh he can improve a little bit more for the coming weekend but uh great uh step for him also for Kil Kil has been uh solid and fast all weekend

Just this small mistake he had in not giving the the position back in the fight with Oscar unfortunately it’s what uh uh made um the difference today otherwise Kil could have been in third but he now go down to uh sixth right in front of sulan zamari in

Seventh so here we have uh uh the jeda Cornish circuit uh amazing scenery we have in front of us with all the lighting surrounding this area which is the Cornish area uh on the waterfront uh near near the Red Sea and uh and as you can see these were um just normal

Roads that became part of the racing track which now is still a street circuit but uh with a sort of a permanent uh in a permanent area so the top three of today with uh K kov unfortunately we have to part the car back into the garage as uh

Now we see on the right hand side uh amda Al kubes which is uh our Podium finisher of today amda she’s been very solid over the championship most of the time on Podium sometimes a bit unlucky but definitely uh very promising again with a strong race today and let’s hear from

Amda alesi third place today with marchello let’s he what she has to say here we are with the third position on the podium on this wonderful raid I’m Dy wow Amazing Race uh you were able to get the podium you said it before the start

And you made it so I’m glad you’re here again just talk us about the race how physically intense was it yeah you can see I’m sweating a lot it was it’s really hot and humid so it was I was struggling a bit with the tires and yeah

It was a bit difficult towards the end I think I pushed too much at the beginning and I had a big drop and yeah Caroll got past me but I knew he had uh he overtook off track so I said okay uh I just let

Him go and I tried to follow him but yeah Oscar was catching behind I think or it was Fred we I’m not sure but yeah it was intense the last laps I was like on my toes but yeah it’s good uh good points for the championship and yeah

Looking forward to the next one you you talk about the the humidity and the hot on track actually compared yesterday seems like the tire are dropping a little bit earlier with this heat yeah I I’m not sure but I feel like yesterday when we were on track uh it was a bit

Less hot maybe the TAC was um not so hot and now I feel like it’s a lot more than yesterday and so the the de is a big thing yesterday I didn’t feel it so much with the tires but today I feel it a lot

More so yeah yeah by the way you did a good job and you on the podium so congratulations well yeah amazing to end the day like this from amda and in second place Saka moeri rookie Super Quick from Kuwait Saker Saker Moi second position you’re

Back on the podium how does it feel yeah finally uh I had a clean race uh but of course I wanted to win but the guy I had was uh a bit too fast for me but yeah I I held my position the whole race manag Managed IT well and yeah I finished

Second well at a certain point of the race K kuskos was catching you up but then you were able to pull away and uh get some more gap on him yeah uh at the start uh I was waiting for him to get close and then I started to to push I

Managed my TIR a bit at the start so I then I can push at the end and make a bit of a gap so H was talking about a little bit of drop on the tire did you have any drop on the tire yeah I had a

Massive drop like from the fourth or third lap suddenly I had a massive drop I think it’s the tire pressures I’m not sure but yeah I didn’t manage my tires well that’s the problem really good race and go enjoy the podium yeah second place for sakare really solid race and solid weekend he

Also improved his qualifying which hasn’t been uh the best uh part of his weekend and now we hear from uh the leader and the winner of today Andre Petrovic he we are with the winner two times today so good job uh the second race you have to struggle a little bit

But on this one you are again on the podium so first and third race in the first position where you’re scoring more Point actually seem to be quite too easy for you this time uh not easy but but I really like this type of races in the

Beginning when I pull away and I just kept pushing for the whole race and then I had really strong Pace by the end so it was a really nice race for me well I saw you did a lap time that was really close to your qual lap uh today so you

Were not pushing hard enough in qual or you were trying to push too hard now I think uh the track improved a lot and uh yeah even the driving is I think better now than in qual so we’ll see for the next week I hope I improve a little bit

More okay so another good race congratulation and go enjoy the podium one more thing before we end I have to say a big thank you to my sponsor alab banka for everything because I wouldn’t be here without them and I just really have to say thank you good

Job so we thank also the opportunity to to thank our sponsor so it’s definitely uh aramco formula 4 Saudi Arabian championship and uh uh as you know Motorsport is uh supported by sponsors so this is both for the drivers and the and the championship as you can see all the

Brand is on the the cars the fire suit you see all the drivers wearing the same suits the same branding the same everything and here we have the leader the winner of today Andre Petrovic number 49 second place for Sak Al moeri number five on the blue car number eight

Amdal kues in third on the purple car and Oscar wood really close to where only half a second behind in fourth federi on the other white car in fifth not the weekend federo was hoping for as he arrived here as the leader of the championship kir kusov down to six

Because of a penalty of 5 Seconds from 30 he was dropped to sixth but a very solid and strong weekend from kiril then suan zanar in seventh after a strong showing in Kuwait he wasn’t quite able to uh repeat himself in Qatar and uh here in jeda so far Omar in eight after

A very strong second place in race two and Amna KU is in ninth with laa Villers in 10 after also for her solid racing race two faala kabani 11 after winning the previous race and Jabor Alani in just in front of Saud alaud and in position 14 abdulaziz Abu

Zenada uh both of them Saud and abdulaziz from Saudi Arabia we have uh four drivers from Saudi this weekend uh these two plus uh faal and Omar that were first and second in the reverse GD so this has been uh the first event here in um Saudi Arabia and this is race

Three this is the Fantastic maneuver from amda when she was able to maintain the third place and the overtaking from Kil kov into the last corner to WS followed by the reaction of WS what a maneuver but K will then leave the track taken advant was penalized 5 seconds for this uh maneuver

Unfortunately and uh here we have kov really fast with a fantastic overtaking on the outside to and alasi finish it in third but as we said before dropping down to six and uh really quick uh Andre Petrovic dancing around the fast corners of the Jed Cornish today he was definitely the

Driver to beat and uh he potentially will be also the driver to beat for the um next event on Monday let’s see what happened uh in the opening stages of uh the race with the um the 49 red car starting from Paul sakera mosheri and they both had a good

Start so also good from Saker that finally is improving his uh starting skills uh having a look with W but uh amda really nice move from the outside maintains the third place a little bit of moment on exit from ws and amda is able to go back in front that was a key

Moment for uh them too because it was the key to finish on the podium for amda and stay in front of uh Al um Oscar vs and now we have the leader that is already pulling a gap is just pushing and just saying you know I just uh want

To put a gap and uh uh win the race on my own which he did with more than second second s seconds of Gap let’s see the podium with the top finishers of today with Aon Thompson hello and welcome back to the 2024 formula for Saudi Arabia championship of course the aramco
