For hello and welcome back to Kuwait motor toown here for the motor toown golf pre Race 3 coming up in just a moment and as always you have myself Aaron Thompson and Luca Philipe joining you as the commentators hello everybody from Luka Philippi so yeah uh ready for race three

After uh yesterday race one which was uh very technical and really quick race and then a very fun and uh hectic chaotic race to with a lot of action a lot of action indeed we saw some fantastic on track action and that that’s a fantastic shot it’s may be the best track track

Shot I’ve seen so far as we speak about it but I believe we’re about to go down to marello Pugi in the pit Lane for a quick word with all the drivers before the start of the session Luca anyone in particular you want to talk to ah for

Sure faala is from the force throw and uh after the contact from before and laa that she made an impressive uh um Improvement yes indeed here we are back on the GD for the third race of the formula 4 Saudi Arabia we are going to talk with the

Driver just to get some information before the start of this third amazing rid we we have seen like the second race there was a lot of battle but now another race with the reverse GED try to get some information from Abdullah Al kui hello Abdullah how are you I’m

Okay so Abdullah is going to run with new tires you are you going to gamble a little bit trying to run a different strategy you have also a free grid uh spot position right in front of you so what’s your plan for the race um I’m planning to make at least maybe two

Positions um or maybe even try and get into the points so that’s uh that’s my plan yeah okay thank you AB good luck for the race and here we are from Philippine we have quano braio that at the PO position start from the previous race now unfortunately with the RAR G is starting

From the back hello guano great Improvement for last week you’re getting better and better so what are your hope for this race well uh I I guess I just want uh I will do my best to overtake and match the face of the cars in front

Of me thank you very much guano good luck for the race that’s going on with the grid we are going with uh the green car from Abdul Aid abuad that uh unfortunately got a pan before this race you will start from the Bit Lane so you’re trying to gamble too with new

Tires unfortunately you’re going to start with the from the pit Lane but I mean you still have a chance to score some good point you shown a great Improvement through the weekend uh hopefully I’m waiting for a safety car in this race to maybe make up the time

That I lost during the start um the the penalty um for the one with zamari I don’t agree with but um that’s racing things happen and we just have to accept it and move on hopefully we’re a good race today okay thank you Abdul and good luck

Give it all and we are going on just some quick words from Qatar we have Jabar that wasn’t here last week and you have shown quite a good Pace during the last race Jabar so you’re starting too with the new tires and uh what are your

Hope for this race I mean in the first race this morning you were going pretty well and you had some nice fight uh on track what what about this race uh hoping I keep the same pace and uh I’ll wait till someone makes a mistake and overtake hopefully that’s will

Happen Okay thank you very much abor and good luck for your race let’s going on with one of the quickest driver in this Championship he got a really good win on the first race so suan as you had a really good uh qu qualifying lap you’re starting with the reverse grid from the

Back I see you’re running really bad TIR so what about this race with this TI what do you hope for get a good start make the maximum take be as sharp as possible and bring the car home okay suan good luck for the race let’s going on now we have kov Kil that

Had unfortunately crashed during the previous race is going to start on the back of the grid still because of the reverse grid so Kil what are your expectation for this race just send it and whatever it’s going to be okay good luck here for your race so another really good driver in

The championship in the front but now it’s time to race I give you back the word thank you very much just about to get underway here for the third race of the weekend almost the end of the weekend ladies and gentlemen stay with us for just one more race the end

Of the day another few hours time but uh before then we have to get out of the pit Lane and that’s going to happen in exactly 2 minutes time 11:52 the scheduled open uh the scheduling of the opening of the pit Lane will have a quick

Exciting all CS will stop on the grid you’ll see the green lights go on and we’ll go around the track one more time for the formation lap and at the culmination of the formation lab all cars will stop in their grid boxes all five lights will go on and as they

Extinguish we will be underway for one more time here at the Kuwait motor town we heard marel pesi down on the grid with uh Solomon zenfari there Luca and he made a quick comment about tires it looks like Solomon may be on a very heavily used set for this race is that

Strategy is he saving something good for the last race here at Kuwait yeah for sure we have uh him and uh fedo rifi and kir kusov and probably also Petrovic that they are saving a very good set of TIR for the final race so um all uh top four drivers they are going

To have uh a very good set of tires for the fourth race which is giving the full points and uh they know that they don’t have uh the best grip available for uh today race three but uh because we have seen a lot of action it’s still possible to score

Points and maybe benefit for other people mistake and potential safety car who knows uh race two that we have seen early this morning was uh really an interesting in one and uh sometimes reverse greed can deliver that sort of uh unpredictable racing yes indeed and I mean we’ve seen a lot of

Unpredictable racing so far my particular favorite all of the undertakes at turn six the sweeping Leander after the carousel which just seemed to have opened up a lot of opportunities on track that perhaps people weren’t quite expecting is there anywhere else on track like that luuka where we could start to see some

Surprising overtakes here in this reverse grid uh race with perhaps a more heavily used set of tires on a lot of the driver’s cars yeah so on the contrary we have um faal Al kabani and omaran that they are starting on a fresher set because of their you know

Starting position that they are in uh starting in in this race so they have a real chance to to get on a Podium but uh don’t forget people like vs that uh yesterday has been incredible uh incredibly fast and uh he was uh unlucky with the accident earlier this this

Morning with K but um well let’s have another brief look at the track now and perhaps you can point out for us the best place to overtake and you can’t say turn 20 again yeah so turn one definitely you can overtake and on the outside and turn two same thing we have

Seen people overtaking the Outside Inside turn six we have seen zamari doing that a lot inside turn seven we have seen amda on zamari but then between 12 to 16 you cannot overtake in 18 and 19 as well and then turn 20 uh definitely you can so um but what we can

See more action now with the uneven situation in the tires so maybe uh also staying close in the fast Corners will get you better exit speed for uh the next next one well let’s run through the starting grid then to see where all the action may be we have Laura Villas of

Course starting on pole position in the blue number 55 car driving for Sweden alongside her fisel alaban the silver bu the Silver Bullet in the silver number seven car driving for Saudi Arabia second row Sager Al maseri and Omar Al durini that’s Kuwait versus Saudi Arabia number five versus number 18 third row

Of the grid we have fredero alrai and Oscar w f Fredrico and Ali Fredrico and WS having a fantastic battle back in bin Oscar WS not the best race in the last race unfortunately had a a collision with kill kov but he’s back up there in

P6 now ready to show us what he’s made of hamda alabasi and Andre Petrovic are seventh and eighth ahead of Kil kuskov and suan zenfari who round out the top 10 jabber Alani and abdulaziz Abu zanada cars number 19 96 and 99 start on the second last row of the grade and are

Joined by John CH broo and Abdullah alesi I can see the cars coming around the final corner now Luke I believe we’re going to stop in our grid boxes and in a few moments we’ll see the green lights established which will indicate the start of the formation labp for

Somebody like Solomon who might be on a more heavily used set of tires is there anything he needs to do differently in his warm up procedure now yeah so um the the more thear is used actually the easier is to warm up uh that is also a

Technical reason maybe if I’m getting to technical you tell me so the higher is the thread it means the more rubber um layer you have on on the tire so it takes more time to eat it up if uh this threat gets thinner so you have not so

Much threat then means the layer is uh is definitely thinner so you don’t have enough uh sorry you don’t have as much uh rubber so it takes less energy to warm up so this is the difference um some sometimes uh can be a little bit of an advantage in for example the first

Lap the used tire because it takes less energy to warm it up so it will be ready for zamari so um he can try and get the maximum Potential from uh turn one 1 a 1 B and one and and two in order to get as

Many positions any we can as they can on the contrary in the last few laps it might be a little bit uh overe eating the tire so that could be the issue for him later on in the race we saw as well he did quite a few laps in qualifying so

Really this set’s probably uh coming to the end of its life do you know if he’s going onto a new set in race 4 or is he going back onto a on another used so we’re talking about zamari zamari yeah so zamari will have uh the set from uh

From qualifying so it will be a set with only a couple of laps turned on a couple of push laps maybe five six in total so it will be a very fresh set and same thing will be for uh for uh Oscar vs and um and for Federico rifi and as well for

Petrovic so and kir kusov too so five five uh fast guys will have Fresh Starts for the final race so uh in that case um they have to to make sure that they that uh the little sacrifice they’re going to do now and the extra work they will have

To do in this race with a US set at least they have to take the most out of the the new one in the final race of the day yes of course and we can see them now coming around turns 12 13 14 and 15 the right-handed section of the track in

Just a moment they’ll be down the back straight and then we’ll be coming to rest in our grid boxes one more time here at the Kuwait motor town for race three of the season of uh of the event I should say because of course this is a

Double header which would make this race seven of the season so far we’re going to have to update you on Championship Standings just after this but uh it’s been a it’s going to be a tough weekend I believe for Solomons and VAR after the last

Race yeah I mean um it’s also a physical event for everybody because this circuit is really demanding so after a couple of weeks being here we have seen drivers that are getting faster and faster but uh but also is uh physically and and mentally really really demanding um and

The Improvement we have seen from everybody is is amazing for example laa vill that is starting on Pole now she has improved massively also just in the previous race a Race Craft was uh within a second compared to um to the fastest drivers of the series so really really impressive improvement

From her yeah she was really kicking ass in the last race wasn’t she yeah she was enjoying it as well I guess she was yes and Omar alderan did a fantastic race as well he was hanging in there and did you see the move hamda made on the orange 52

Solomon Zari we saw him overtake her at turn six and she just didn’t let him have it turn seven all of a sudden she was right back in there taking it back from him fantastic driving this is what we want to see from amda she we want her

To be aggressive and to uh show her potential she has been probably the fastest uh in in the previous race so I think she has a potential to overtake guys again and uh and enjoy this race well as you can see ladies and gentlemen all the cars have now joined us on the

Starting grid and in just a moment we’ll be underway as you can see the first light about to go on like 2 3 4 5 and as they go out we are underway the Silver Bullets number seven the Silver Bullet of fisel Al cabani getting a fantastic start jumping into first position sagger

Alma up the inside om my Alder around the outside down into turn one and that is a fantastic St right there for Saudi Arabia with two cars into the top three while there is some contact between Lura Villas in the blue number 55 and a white

Car which may have been Fredrico Al Rafi or Oscar wartz unfortunately the white car managing to continue but it looks like Lara Villas may have been beached there on the exit of Turn 1 a coming down into turn two now though we can see amda alabasi in the purple number eight

Car making a move on Solomon zire but Solomon trying to switch back on the exit of the corner back to the front of the grid we have the Silver Bullet fisel Al caban swerving through turns three four and five trying to keep ahead off Sager Alm who looks like he’s making a

Move up the inside of turn six and may be able to close the deal through turn S I can’t quite see whether that’s a silver or a light blue car at the front of the Grid at the moment but in any second we will have the outcome of that

Fight and it does seem like Kuwait has come out on top and is leading the race here race three of the weekend with Sager almi fantastic d D there from these two young gentlemen and it seems like the silver number seven the Silver Bullet hasn’t quite given up and is

Going to start challenging Kuwait for the lead of the race very soon indeed as ham alabasi follows very closely behind Solomon Zari through the right hand section of the track fantastic there from safy car safety car safy car out must be for L vill must be trapped still at turn

One yeah so unfortunately la la V she was stuck uh at the Apex of uh turn what we call 1B which is basically uh the the king before um before the long straight so definitely not the best place uh to be standing still so they have to

Recover the car such a shame for her she she didn’t have a quite a good start and uh they arrived three wide uh here we see her they were three wide at the Apex of uh turn one a and um I think she had just nowhere to go and uh let’s have a

Quick look see exactly what happened here we are start of the race you can see Laura in the blue number 55 someone going around the inside someone going around the outside and just behind as she gets into contact with the white car of I believe that is number 11 yes

Indeed it is that’s Oscar W’s contact with Laura villis there on the exit of turn one B Laura getting beached backwards into the just above the curb there on the exit of one B wow so Oscar W is in the pits which is not a good news for Oscar

Definitely so far uh this uh this place hasn’t hasn’t been uh very nice to him I would say um potentially he has like a wing damage or or a flat tire let’s see if he’s able to rejoin and yeah it just went out so at least he didn’t lose lap

Which is which is really important so he has an opportunity to come through the field and uh there he is Jo at the moment all right so as you said Luka must have been just a little bit of wing damage or maybe a puncture or something

Of that effect as you said it’s not been a fantastic weekend from him but I mean he’s had the car under him he’s had the pace but it’s just a lot of uh these little bad luck little incidents touching into somebody here and there that’s uh really taking away a lot of

His momentum that he built up in bin yeah so it’s um it’s been a bit unfortunate this accident it was like squeeze in the middle in between Andre Petrovic and laa Villers and you know where you are in the middle sometimes there is not much

You can do uh maybe was when he was uh going to try the inside of uh laa Village you he should have maybe closed the door a bit more for Andre not to uh take advantage because Andre we’ve seen him racing is really smart and uh he’s

Always basically at the right time uh at the right moment also in this position you know he placed himself on the inside which gave him the opportunity to to get a couple of places and uh and also to put your rival in trouble which is also sometimes uh one of those things you

Want to do well let’s go back to the race stop one more time two lights three four five and as they go go out we’re underway you can see L not getting the best St but the Silver Bullet the car on the right hand side of the screen

Getting away very well indeed and the yellow number 18 of Omar alderi going around the outside as the light blue number five goes around the inside of low Villas and here’s that contact again between warts and Villas on the exit of Turn 1 B you can see Andre Petrovic as

Luca mentioned taking advantage of the collision and moving up position as well as we come down now the second straight into turn two you can see the yellow car of Omar alderi following closely behind his comrad in arms and of course the Kuwaiti driver sagger Al as he come

Through turn two after Al Bas makes move up the inside of Solomon Zari who immediately Cuts back onto track and takes as much in Advantage as he can over the crest and down into the carousel’s turns three four and five you can see this is where sagger in the

Light blue number five car makes an inside move around turn six and closes the door into turn 7 to secure first position for Kuwait in this the third race of the weekend as the procession follows him through turns 67 and into the flat out snaking section of 8 9 10

And 11 before the rightand section turn 12 13 14 and 15 you can see on screen now the continuing replay of of this moving on but back to the uh back to the live and we can see everybody still lining up behind the safety car had a message from race control mentioning

That there would be an investigation in regards to the contact between osar and Laura villis at Turn 1 B with any luck that car will be recovered this lap and we can go racing again very soon indeed luckily however we have a regulation to handle these exact scenarios where under

Safety car we can give back up to three laps to ensure that we get as much track time as possible and track time is what these young drivers are here for to learn how to be the next Michael Shmo the next Ur Center or if you’re not 100

Years old the next LS Hamilton so Luca phip what do they have to do after this if that’s their goal so I I remember well Scher and S and I’m not years old I don’t know where you’re heading so um I I love this rule about adding laps

I really love it it’s something that um I I don’t think in Formula 4 we haven’t seen yet in other Championship I’m sure somebody is is going to to copy this this idea because is a really really smart idea because at the end of the day we want these drivers to

Learn and to gain as much experience as uh as they can and uh by starting all of them with the equal amount of uh of fuel in the race we know exactly how many laps uh they can do under green how many under safety car so adding three laps is

Uh up up to three laps it’s really something that uh is making the race as long as possible well three laps and now three restarts of the uh of the race let’s have a look here from the Drone angle what we can see what happens let’s

Have a look at the right hand side of your screen you can see Lura doesn’t get away quite quick enough but Sager Alm almi does indeed he was the light blue dot that danced into the left hand side of the screen and moves up into second

Position at the first corner you can see here now this is going to be where the contact happens between Lara and WS there we are bit of a bit of an incident there indeed but WS manages to plow through the ground and continue back onto

Track so you know this uh corner is uh unfortunately the picture of of the weekend uh with Andre being at the right time the right place and Oscar unfortunately the opposite being at the wrong place at the wrong time uh Oscar is a super talented super humble super

Good he’s a hard worker guy and uh is also really fast like uh yesterday race one he finish in a in a strong second place and it was you know the best way to open the weekend after in the trophy event I would say it was probably uh the

Fastest guy on track he won two of the four races in the trophy event fantastic yeah and you know sometimes it’s just like this it doesn’t click as you want and then uh you har starting on the back foot and then uh it seems like nothing is going your way and but still

You know we have eight laps to go he’s in the race and uh I really want him to fight back and see and let’s see what he can do well we seen the Strang of things happened before and on track now you can see Omar aldin in the yellow number 18

Card this is probably good news for him he’s in P3 he’s set up for a nice look at the podium on the podium in the last race and he’s really got an opportunity here with the two Saudi drivers of fisel albani and Omar alderin uh this is P2

And P3 car 7 and K 18 May well have an opportunity here to to lock out the second half of the podium I think that the fight for the podium is going to be tough because uh Saker has made a really nice move on FAL

And uh FAL has very good tires also but Omar you know you know he is uh he’s a tough guy and he’s a fighter so he’s on fire and uh he’s happy with the potential Podium position but I don’t know if uh exactly if it is exactly what

He wants I think he wants a win so he will try to go for it he will indeed and he’s going to get his opportunity this lap as message from race control is safety car in in just a moment you’ll see the safety car start to speed up and

Then at turn 16 it’ll extinguish its lights and leave the pack under the control of Sager almash Sager almash in the light blue number five car driving for KU is going to have his first uh safety car restart I believe in this race this is his first opportunity to

Back up the pack and decide when we start uh go to go racing again of course nobody allowed to overtake until all the cars are past the start Finish Line Luca when does Sago put the Throttle Down so you have two options basically so from now on um we’ll have the fast

Action then we have the long right Ender which is the multiple Apex Ender and after that the safety car will uh turn the light off so that means from then uh the leader has the opportunity to uh make the pace so you don’t have to stay

Anymore within the F length of the car to the safety car and um he had the safety card will speed up Sagar will uh pck up a little bit and then you have two choices or you just now we see the safety car with the lights off three

Laps added and uh now Saker is slowing down he can or put the the the full uh gas exiting this corner or it will be doing it only um after the last corner so let’s see what it does um we have seen two different approaches

But I’m quite sure that uh he will wait a little longer and then uh more or less uh when he feels is everybody quite close he will just uh go flat out and then restart he taking a bit of a longer approach like we have seen also this

Morning when faal was in the lead he did more of a similar seems to have put down the thr now though and here we come down the back straight into turn 20 is anybody close enough to make a move a lots of people having a look but Sager

Seems to have had an excellent restart and is powering down the main straight now ahead of the silver bullet and the yellow car of Omar Al aldani the yellow number 18 going to try and make a move into turn one is he close enough not quite close enough as Andre Petrovic and

The number 10 of Fredo Al Rafi go to war here it turn 1 a and 1B Andre sliding up the inside at 1 b 1 a tries to make a move can’t hold on to it and the white car forri alberi manages to stay out in

Front as I believe kol kov tries to take advantage of all of this action and seems to be going around the outside now here at turn two are we going to be three wide coming into turn two definitely two wide as Andre Petrovic tries to make another move on Fredrico

Al Rafa K kov really taking this into his own and is’s going to have to make a move now coming down into the carousel turns three four and five because Solomon zanar in the orange number 52 car is just behind him looking at making

A move up the inside of turn six on the kakhan driver but can’t quite manage to make it as to come around the sweeping left-hander of turn six back onto the sweeping right-hander of turn S and down into the sneaky the the straight out Snake Here the flat section of the

Circuit turns 8 9 10 and 11 before they switch into the right-handed section of the track Zager Al thege out in front lengthening his lead as Andre Petrovic in the red number 49 car driving for Serbia tries to get his way up into fourth position this of course

Advantaging Saudi Arabia here with fisa Al cabani and Omar aled alaran managing to follow closely behind their Kuwaiti comrade Sager almash and pull away from this pack that is fighting for fourth position at the moment so in the moment we also have uh in eight amda alesi and uh amda she she’s

Been really fast in the middle of the race but uh uh now she is trying to overtake suan zamari I’ve seen she was really close and she is faster at the moment so he has to try and get that position as soon as possible look how

Close she is behind him she seemes to have carried more speed coming out of turn 20 as well she’s already on the right hand side of the track looks like she’s going to go around the outside at turn two but maybe not quite close enough to pull it off this time around

There’s a real rivalry developing here between the orange number 52 in the eight the purple number eight that’s between Morocco and UAE Solomon Zan fari and alabas as we come down the second straight now here into turn two are they going to be close enough to make a move

Just focus here on the middle of the pack ladies and gentlemen as we’ll see H ala basy having a quick look down the inside deciding against this a little bit too far back as she comes down through turn two now up over the crest of the Hill down into turns three four

And five the carousel we can see the cars all sliding down on the exit there as Andre kovic now fighting off K kov in the light blue number 23 car driver for Kuran just behind the Serbian driver you can see that kill is as close as you

Possibly can be through that section of the track but not quite close enough to make a move as they switch back into the straight out flat out section of the track turns 8 9 10 and 11 little bit of a breather here for the drivers as they prepare for the right-handed section of

The track turns 12 13 14 and 15 next overtaking opportunity perhaps turn 17 or 19 or even turn 20 as we come into the final sector of the track let’s have a quick look at lap times Sager Almy doing a 203 632 in that last lap his uh

Setting personal best sector two of this lap as well as Omar Al Al durani takes it on the inside here taking it away from the Silver Bullet fisel Al cabani down into turn 17 I believe that was and they switch back into turn that must no

That must have been turn 18 as a switch back into turn 19 and the yellow number 18 closes the door on his Saudi Arabian comrade as they come down now the back straight into turn 20 is there going to be an opportunity for the Silver Bullet

To take his position back no he’s not quite close enough but will ham alabasi have something to say to Morocco at the same Corner again she doesn’t seem to be quite close enough perhaps she’ll tug in behind the orange car and get into the slipstream and make a move down into

Turn one that may be what the Silver Bullet FIS Al cabani is thinking but he’s just a little bit too far back so Petrovic Andre may be able to make something happen for us on screen ladies and Gent been through turns one 1 a and 1 B but everybody deciding to hun it

Down in their positions and keep a hold of the racing action until there is an adequate opportunity to take to take an overtaking maneuver here so this has been a fantastic maneuver from Omar Deana on the inside in turn 18 is normally a place that where we don’t see

Many overtaking but uh he just took advantage of a very slight mistake from faal and he was able to go up in second position the meantime sakare is uh is going very fast now he said the fastest lap of the race we can see at the end of

This lap how is the pace of Omar compared to Saker if he’s able to uh close the gap or if uh the the leader is now you know with his head down and and pushing as hard as possible well with the clear eror Sager certainly has an advantage but kill kov ladies and

Gentlemen just set the fastest first sector 340 to1 almost more than one tenth of a second faster than the man in first place so he is starting his charge but unfortunately there’s a lot of cars between him and the top step of the podium yeah K was really really close to

Andre trying to find uh to find a gap to to try and overtake but uh Andre we have seen that is really good at defending as well and uh Kil you know is been super quick this weekend and uh he has to make sure he maximize the points and uh he

Will be in a good position also starting the final race of the day talking about lap times again just quickly luk I can see a 34165 and a 44 72 green sector times for Omar alarin and they’re exactly almost exactly the same time as the man in front of him and he goes

Faster by 410 of a second in the third sector so Omar Alder chasing down Sager Alm that’s Saudi Arabia versus Kuwait here in the third race of this weekend as we come down now the main straight and into turns 1 a and 1B so yeah this is what I was curious to

See uh the face of Omar and he is now the quickest car on track and uh he had this is the first lap that he was able to to be by himself uh with nobody in front and is pulling a really really good lap together uh let’s see if he

Also has the consistency to try and Chase the lead that is is uh like almost 3 seconds between himself and Saker of course because when you fight with uh a contender he was fighting with fali lost a little bit of of time but who knows

The race is still long six laps left to go he’s going to have to pull out 5/10 of a second every lap at the moment though in sector 1 it’s a 34 59 and a 34 88 that 34 59 for Sager and the not 88 for Omar alderin so they’re matching

Each other very closely indeed but Omar has to 510 of a second every lap if he wants to catch up to the man in front of him by the end of this race yeah it’s not it’s not an easy thing to do but uh we also have to take in

Um uh we have to think about that uh Tak in account that the tires may be falling over a little bit in the last couple of laps so uh if uh if you are also nice on tires during the race maybe the the last couple of laps you may have an opportunity

Who do you imagine has fresher tires on at this point in time Omar or Sager I think Omar as uh is improving lap by lap so I gives me the impression that he looking really good at the moment so for sure is able to match the paas if not to

To gain a little bit H it’s not easy more than 2 seconds but it will try and it looks like uh serer actually had a bit of an answer for the Saudi Arabian driver that lap and pulled out another 10th of a second away from the second

Place driver as we can see on track now Andre Petrovic and vrio alfi battling for fourth position yeah the first two they are the only two guys uh able to stay within the 2 minute. 3 second and so it means they are really pushing hard

And uh just uh um you know they are the only two that they they can think on themselves while uh this group they have to to attack and defend one to the other and uh so the lap times they go up a little bit they they get a little slower

When you have to fight for a position yes of course but the Silver Bullet the number seven car Fel Al kabani driving to Saudi Arabia doing fantastically as well here it should be said holding on to his third position here for five or six laps already and uh that’s really

Quite impressive considering that fredero alrai a race winner here in Formula 4 Arabia and Andre Petrovic perhaps rotx world champion and just behind him C world champion kol kotkov are all right behind the Saudi driver of the number seven car yeah I mean this

Group is uh is very close uh and um we have to see anything can happen with five laps to go uh the important thing is not to make any mistake FAL lost the potential Podium uh in the previous race with one and a half lap to go so so you know it’s

Not finished until the checker flag you have to keep your head down and make sure you don’t make any mistakes and let’s see if FAL can learn from the previous race I’m sure I’m sure he will I’m sure he will and at the front of the grid there’s a battle in

The lap times going on between sagger Al Mur it’s a green sector one for sagger and then a green sector two for Omar and it’s back and forth and Omar not managing to pull a a chunk of time out of the leaders gap between them uh but

Also similarly Saga not managing to sail away at the front of the grid and we can see on track amra alabasi and suon zanaria still fighting for position and this may give some Advantage here to Oscar wz who’s going to try up the inside again at turn one on an orange

Car this time around is he close enough to make a move not quite but he’s positioned himself very nicely indeed to get an excellent exit slipstream down the second straight and perhaps make a move coming in to turn two that may well put a smile on the Austrian face yet

This weekend and I believe that’s himself making that move up the inside at turn two as we just predicted and a very nice move it was indeed and that’s going to take some uh some pressure off of amre alabasi because now the white and orange cars are fighting and she may

Be able to pull away and start to catch up to Kil kov and join that battle for third position so zamari um is struggling a little bit with these tires so VZ is faster in this face of the race uh but zamari is also the leader of the

Champion so the championship so maybe he doesn’t want to take risk and uh so maybe um as it is he’s down to P9 for sure not what he wanted but this is is what uh he has to deal with because at the moment we have uh at least nine

Drivers that are able to fight for Podium positions and uh the level uh of these guys is uh going up and up race by race they are improving literally from one day to the other yes indeed and even from lap to lap you can see here now om

Alder just set the fastest uh first sector with the 33 941 almost a tenth of a second faster than the man in front of him the lap the gap between the two drivers quite consistent to 2.7 or 2.9 depending what phase of the lap you are

Looking at as we come around now the an ultimate corner of the of the lap we can see everybody joining us down onto the main straight is there going to be any chance for an overtaking opportunity here between the cars battling for third position fisel Al kabani fedo Al Rafi

Andre pic and Kil kov no not quite and you could see indeed that FIS Alani seems to have pulled out a little bit of a lead between the himself and the cars behind him of Fredrico Ali and Andre Petrovic of course Fredrico having to worry mostly primarily about defending

From the Rotex world champion just behind him and Kil kov I’m sure having to have a look as well to see if he can take advantage of what’s going on here in front of him and uh you can see Andre had two looks there and decided again

That he’s just not quite close enough here at turn two to make that move up over the crest and down into three four and five the carousel before we hit into the left- handing sweeping turn six here and then back across onto the right handed sweeping turn seven and then into

The flat out section of the track turns 9 10 and 11 so yeah between these four drivers we have a bit of a elastic effect so uh they were more compacted now it looks like uh um FAL was able to pull a little little Gap like as we see

Now but uh there is no time to take a breath because uh still uh um with three laps to go two and a half uh you cannot really make a mistake it’s a really fast circuit um so little mistake you you pay an high price for it and also inde we

Can see that as well here because card number 52 is just got a multiple track limits warning so he’s going to have to pay attention to that cuz he doesn’t want to slip out of the points with any kind of penalty that of course being the

Orange number 52 of Solomon Zan fary as we said he does seem to be on all the tires and he may be struggling here with that set coming to the end of its life but with three laps left to go in this race he may still be able to hold on to

It with can see the Silver Bullet the number seven car pulling out his lead from P2 to P3 and Andre pic again just having a little bit of a look and then de s signing against it fedrico aleri positioning himself perfectly to maintain his fourth position but not

Able to catch up to the Silver Bullet in front of him while concentrating on keeping that red number 49 of Andre Petrovic behind him Oscar wartz though ladies and gentlemen he’s going to be fuming in that car he made a mistake here at the beginning of this race but

He’s fought his way back up into ninth position and now he’s got ham alabasi just ahead of him you can see on on screen just a moment ago the purple and white cars the purple number eight of course amda alabasi and the white number 11 of course Oscar wz driving for

Austria you can see on screen now the two drivers in question as Oscar wz makes a move up the inside here at turn two on the purple number eight of the UAE driver am alabasi and a very nice move it was indeed he closes the door just as they crashed over the hill

Before they mooved down into turns 3 4 and five ham alas going to try to come back AC close but it does seem as if Oscar WS has the has the momentum at least in this phase of the race LCA a brilliant move from Oscar uh very late

But very clean so he just went for it at the very last minute and uh but he was able to to go fully alongside so it didn’t give uh any opportunity to amda to to fight back so it was a really nice and clean move and uh it’s good that

Even if uh there was the the unfortunate incident uh accident at the first lap he was able to keep his head down um Oscar and uh and he’s doing a very good race for sure he has uh the same Pace if not uh better compared to the the group that

We see here um but unfortunately you know coming from behind uh now he too far to to catch well his best lap time is a 203 844 so that may well be that he’s one of only three people on track with a 203 with a

203 to his name at the moment so he’s definitely one of the fastest cars on the track but unfortunately it just isn’t reflected in his race position at the moment as we come down the main straight now we can see the Silver Bullet the number seven car fisel Al

Cabani still maintaining his second position but it does seem like Frederico Ali may be catching up in the background there of course Andre Petrovic the deciding factor in this fight because he’s uh going to be all over the back of the Frederico alfi number 10 car as we

Can see off track now number 19 number 99 I should say Abdul aiz Abu zanada seems to be beached on the exit of turns 12 and 13 that may well bring out a safety car because that is a very very fast section of the track and it may not

Be possible to allow the drivers to remain there but with one lap left to go on the boards I’m not sure exactly what will happen as fisel Al cabani makes a small mistake coming down the Carousel and Fredrico aleri pounces on the Saudi Arabian driver trying to make the move

Stick up the inside of 10 six doesn’t quite have the momentum to get past him can he come back into turn seven it seems like seems like the Silver Bullet manages to hold off the white card the white number 10 of rodrico Alber they come through the flat out section of the

Track now turns 8 9 10 11 and 12 can the Silver Bullet keep the the the driver in the UAE car just behind him he seems like on the outside and are we going to be under yellow flag is the racing going to have to be called out and it seems

Like Fredo Ali manages to get past the Silver Bullet just coming into turn 16 and 17 and uh with any luck that may have been before the yellow flags came out there must have been yellow flags on track at that section because of the of the green car the number 99 car of

Abdulaziz Abu zanada as we can see on track now though serer Al Mur in the light blue number five car coming home for Kuwait in first position a fantastic race there for sagger just behind him we have Omar Al Reed alderan in the yellow number 18 car fantastic race for him as

Well as we come across the start finish tra in first and second position three wide now here ladies and gentlemen fighting down to the wire but it is f Al cabani in third position I believe as we come across the start Finish Line federi we have seen briefly that uh he

Went with his uh light on M which is a rain light so he wanted to give F the position back so while he got the position he probably with his side Vision he realized there was yellow flag displayed so he intentionally gave the position back as uh he knew otherwise he

Was going to be penalized 100% so he’s a quite experienced driver so he gave the position back and so uh he should be fine like this with FAL able to retain his Podium position good job FAL you got the podium this weekend and uh fed in

Forth but that gave a launch into the last corner with Petrovic and Kil that you know were trying also to benefit from Federico slowing down a little bit but uh yeah I mean at the end uh it looks like uh even if it for like a 200

Under of a second kov wasn’t able to overtake Petrovic on the line no indeed he wasn’t but it was a fantastic fantastic race and I believe that’s my cue to head down to the podium Lucas I’ll see you again very shortly yes so we will see shortly the

Podium of uh the top three and also the top three rookies with the uh yeah the home hero Saka mosheri from Kuwait uh winning a race at least one race this weekend so uh it’s uh definitely important to him to win a race at home and uh he’s done anything style in uh

Winning and pushing through the race the whole time only Omar Duran was able to keep uh his Pace they were the fastest guys uh uh today and um great Podium for Oman Omar again um while U uh we have seen the fight for the third place and at the end uh it

Was for P3 for f alak cabani just managed to get his position back from feder rifi so definitely uh potentially there will be a review because when you taking the yellow flag uh you shouldn’t do it but uh you understand he understood the situation and he gave the position back as soon as

Possible so here we have uh Omar Dean congratulating uh Sak moeri it’s good to see these guys very young guys with little experience but already fast and able to to fight with the formula 4 experience guys we have seen uh some incredible racing really happy Shak Mo Sheri and um he been very

Consistent here in uh in Kuwait but uh he hasn’t won a race yet but finally he did so I’m sure that uh this will be a very sweet Podium for for himself and uh and his family so um it was quite a clean race just uh uh the spin from um abula

Buzanada uh through the end of the race and he unfortunately for him ended his race in the gravel while uh um for uh the rest we had a contact in turn one a in between Oscar WS who had to go through the gravel and Andre Petrovic and laa

Villard who unfortunately for her she was on the outside so nothing she could have done she just uh ended up in the gravel and uh the race was over for her such a shame as uh she has shown a great Improvement in the previous race she was

Uh she even made a lap into the 204s which is really competitive so it is good that uh um she was uh able to improve herself driving so much uh through the the weekend uh this is means that when you give uh all the drivers uh equal opportunities with

Equal cars same setups same amount of fuel same amount of tires and testing and uh we give them the opportunity to see each other’s data videos so so when you give them the tools uh and uh the people to help them to improve themsel then they can deliver

This uh this results and uh of course at the end uh uh the final couple of T is down to uh the talent is down to uh having the speed in your blood but it means that uh the good drivers they they can uh improve and and can learn quickly

When they have uh the right tools the right uh mechanical uh package behind them and the right people so this is definitely uh rewarding to us so let’s here what the top three guys they they have to say uh in a moment definitely we’re very interested to see what they

Had to say and uh we have U an all Middle East Podium uh which is also this is uh is really interesting because we have a very very international field so for today’s race we have Kuwait Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia on the podium and then we have UAE we have

Serbia uh we have uh many different countries we have Austria we have Morocco and here we have the final classification Sak moeri winner of today om AR Al Dean in second fala cabani managing to get on the podium like uh he said to us he was going to and fedi in

P4 Petrovic Andre in F fifth Kil kusov trying to overtake Petrovic on the line didn’t quite do it but is uh P6 for him Oscar WS after a very unlucky first lap of the race but he display a lot of speed amda kues in eight suan zamari lead of the championship in ninth

Position Abdullah kues in position 10 then wano bro from filippina in 11 Jabor Alani in 12 so unfortunately laa Villers and Abdul Aid Abdul zanada they didn’t finish the race Abdul adid uh he went out in the final lap so um this is the third race of the weekend

We have seen a qualifying yesterday morning and uh the race four will be based on the fourth lap of the qualifying in the running order so we will have again uh a race that is uh directly dependent on the pure speed and the Pure Performance of the drivers

Some of them they have saved they have saved a fresh set a new set of tires some of then uh they have not and this is why also today we have seen a lot of action because we had a different uh tire wear between the drivers here we have uh after the start

Of the race the Tre wide in between WS laa Villers and Andre pic on the inside bad luck for Laura also for WS they have to PE in the back of the field after the resar F Alward at the front but Omar uh was in second but Omar was able to

Gain his position and Omar was in P2 and uh here we have uh the fight between vs that got first zamari and then am kues Amal kui with an amazing move on the inside and here we see the last mistake from uh Abdul Aid and U they uptain from Federico

Arifi with a yellow flag and then he gave the position back to um FAL that finally got on the podium so um let’s see what the director has to say but um uh for sure feder arifi when he have seen the yellow flag then he gave the position back everything will be in

Um in uh in review from the race control just in case there is uh anything that uh that wasn’t done correctly and uh we also see the they are recovering the green car for Abdul Aid right now in the moment of the exit of uh turn 1213 here

We have the restart of the race very good start from FAL Al cabani in uh number number seven and Sakira moeri on the inside and Omar alayan on the outside and those three were the three Podium finishers so the starts were definitely important to all three this is the Unlucky laa vill spinning

Around and vs at the back of the field and Saka mooseri working hard his way to the lead and then uh able to overtake FAL during the first lap here we have also zamari overtaking Amal kui and here we have a little mistake for FAL and uh Saker is able to go on

The inside and uh gain dep position with a very nice move on the inside in the first lap in turn number six we have seen a move that is uh it works and then uh Saker was able to pull away and had a very consistent very fast

Race the first lap we have seen that it was uh really crucial to have a good start you can see also the reaction time let’s see who got the best reaction times ah I mean was quite even but FAL just managed to have less wheel sping compared to Lara

Villers and uh he got uh the lead of the race as early as he could with Saka museri behind and from the Drone we see the unfortunate Tre wide you know where it’s a it’s a circuit that has a lot of space but uh when you go three wide uh

You never know if you can get out of the corner in one piece this is the the reality of of motorport also because uh normally um who’s in the middle knows that you are three wide but the other two sometimes they don’t so sometimes it’s hard to give each

Other enough space when you are three wide just because uh the guy further out or further in just is not aware of uh of being in that specific situation while for Oscar I you know trying to be in issues I bet he was just there trying to

Make sure he was able to to go through and uh he couldn’t quite do it and the Conta with him in lot of V just uh uh Ru Oscar’s race and took out laa for for this race Tre as you can see we have an amazing

View it’s uh a really a really big and modern facility here it’s only 3 four years old uh we have many different configurations opportunity some of the best corners in the world have been uh took as a taken as a um a benchmark so they tried and um make a reproduction of

Uh existing very nice Corners uh for example the one we see the long right Ender from the top is uh the same as Istanbul turn 8 but turning on the opposite direction while um we have uh turn three and four is Is a copy of the CCW Laguna sea but uh also there turning on the other side while uh there is also the inner corner of uh on the left hand side of your screen that goes into the shorter version of the circuit you cannot quite see it but it’s banked corner so it

Looks like the carousel in U in nuring so is uh also that configuration an interesting one we decided for the longest configuration that is also quite fast and it’s the most technical so we have decided to go for that one and stick with it with both race

Weekends and um but definitely all the other configuration were also really interesting really cool and uh and rable in in all condition um also with with the formula 4 cars um the elevation changes we have on this circuit they are quite impressive here it goes downhill

From the top of where you see the Oni Bridge down to this corner which is the uh Apex of turn five there is quite a lot of elevation change uh going down the hill so this is definitely also changing the balance of the car uh here also we have two changes of elevation

From Seven which is further down the screen up to 12 you have a sequence of uh Corner which is a snake similar to what you find in Suzuka uh but it’s all flat out with a formula 4 car um also in this uh in this area you can you can see

Uh the elevation changes that uh that this circuit offers but believe me when you are in the car and it did quite a bit of mileage uh last week um it’s uh it’s much more uh evident that what we see on screen it’s really exciting there are some Corners that

Sitting very low in the car they are kind of blind so at the beginning takes a long time to understand uh uh where are your references and where to turn where to break and how you can take the advantage of uh the compressions and the the cumbers of each indiv individual corner

So it’s one of those uh circuits that uh it doesn’t take just two three five laps uh to learn but it takes a lot more a lot more time um we have seen drivers that still after a couple of weekends they are still trying slightly different

Uh technique in in some of the corners because it’s one of those uh circuit that is also uh you also have to evolve your driving style depending on the grip depending on the tire you have depending on uh the the position you are if you

Have a car behind so you don’t want to be for example too wide in turn six uh because otherwise you can open the door and just uh stay a little tighter and there are Corners where if you are behind actually you have you have to try

And find some clean air in a corner while you want to be for following closely in the straight line so we are now ready for the podiums for top three finishers and top three rookies with Aaron Thompson okay thank you very much for being so patient with us ladies and

Gentlemen so without any further Ado let’s get into the podium celebration for race three here at event 2 of the formula Arabia formula Arabia Championship without any further Ado I’d like to call please place of the overall Category 5 alap and in second place oh and in first place the top to top
