Hello and welcome back to the 2024 formula 4 Arabia Gulf Prix of motor toown here in Kuwait as always my name is Aaron Thompson and we’ll join and we will be joined very shortly by Luca Philip but before then I believe we’re going to have a quick run down to the

Pit Lane with marello pesi in just a moment here for the second race of this the second event in the inaugural season of the championship I’m joined Now by Luca Luca flep how are you doing today Luca hello everybody so last day in Kuwait which is a game because I kind of

Enjoy being here in Kuwait and uh we had amazing racing uh over these last two weeks and today is going to be you know one of those days where everybody will try to to put that everything together and bring home the best result possible yes indeed and race two here is

A reverse grid by virtue of your second fastest laps of qualifying reversed if you’re within for seconds of the race leader which should make things very very interesting here at the start of this race yes we also we are also going to see some different strategies in terms

Of uh of tires uh as uh some of the guys are going to prioritize uh um the starting position so potentially having a fresh set for this race or next race and uh and I would say the guys that have uh the best starting position for the race four which gives the full

Points we prioritize that um from this point of view they have the opportunity to move around all the two complete sets eight tires as they prefer uh right to left also mix the the two sets if they want um this circuit we have seen that is quite hard on the outside tire so

Instead of being like harder for example on on the rear ties like in Bahrain uh is a bit harder on the right side so you could even uh decide to to have the better right side uh for for each race and uh you know that you will be a

Little bit uh uh faster in the in the left Corners to start the race with but then through the race that evens up um during the during the race distance and is that because it’s an anticlockwise circuit Lucas yes yes which is uh a little bit unconventional uh but some of the best

Circuits in the world are anticlockwise like uh this one like Imola for sure or uh turkey in stul and uh and then main American circuit while normally European style is more clockwise but um there isn’t like a specific Rule and actually uh it’s it’s just um

Is just uh one of those things that uh that you can you can decide we also have seen circuits changing clockwise too anticlockwise in their history like misano is is a change uh that three times already in in his history so but this is is nice yeah it is a

Fantastic CC we’ve seen a few times before already and I believe we’re going down to mareli now for a quick word with the drivers who I’m sure going to say exactly the same thing here we are here we are this morning ready to go for their first race of the

Day that is the second race of this weekend as you know the race today will start with the reverse gr of the qualifying guys same uh small technical issue that we had in the last race not to worry though lucer and I will keep you entertained while everything gets

Sorted out down on the preg grid and I say preg grid because we have a little bit of a different starting procedures than uh than F1 and another races LCA we try to uh minimize the amount of track time we need to take from the circuit and compact the procedure as much as

Possible so we don’t go out onto the starting grid and and uh and set up the cars there we actually set up everything and the prade right in front of our pck garages and then we go straight out from there sighting lap formation lap and that’s the start of the race yeah so

From this point of view um it’s also a way to to have uh everything uh done with without so so so much pressure for so long for the drivers because sometimes when you start putting on the the helmet and uh you are doing the the preg in the

Pits which everybody has to do then if you have to stop on the GD sometimes then um you have to stay there for long can be hot can be cold can be wet can be dry can be sometimes uh also not ideal for engines and stuff and uh I don’t

Know that just raises the pressure and uh and um while having a much shorter and compacted uh um procedure I think it more straightforward especially for these very young guys and then having three RAC in one day we also have to maximize our our time so in between

Races we can spend time with the drivers in looking at Visos and looking at uh telemetry data and uh so they can improve from One race to the other just before we were uh looking videos uh uh like the overtaking from yesterday the opening laps so they they understand

What they can improve in car positioning and uh where they they can maximize their their position definitely did you manage to have a look yesterday how Oscar WS got up into P2 on that first lap he had a very good start uh um especially the reaction time was very fast so

Um he has a way to release the clutch which is quite quick which is quite of a highrisk reward so if it goes well uh you have um the engine reps dropping but then you don’t have too much wheel spin and it’s very efficient there is a

Little bit of a higher risk uh but uh but he nailed it and he and he did very well while in front of him he had Kil kusov which on the contrary he had a very slow start he had a very slow um he decided to have a slow slower approach

In terms of the clutch but that desert mostly is reaction time and uh when you try to release the clutch a little slower uh sometimes uh uh it just takes longer for the car to move and so you see other cars approaching and coming on your side so then suddenly you just

Release the clutch and then you create wheelpin which you didn’t want to and uh uh it was an ideal for kill and U definitely the start has hurt uh his his race and his result and what does kill need to do differently for this race then so Kil

Just um needs to practice more uh the start needs to learn he comes straight from carting and also in terms of uh of testing he doesn’t have uh so much testing um um in his uh in his background so it’s just the field that he doesn’t have yet with the with the

Clutch maybe some older drivers uh they do just because also maybe they have more more time to drive also regular cars so just about uh once you learn it you click it and and then it goes yeah we’ve seen that already with Krill he had a tough weekend last time around and

Now he’s up in P2 in qualifying and and you know looking fantastic but let’s have a quick look around the circuit one more time Luka yeah we can see from the top this is a really amazing circuit um very fast so we have a turn one after the start that goes into a

Chicane 1 a1b then a very long straight up to six gear overt taking place here in turn two and then we have a levation change in three 4 five with a compression very long Corners in six then a flat out section that goes for a fantastic Corner that goes from 12 to 15

In a nice and low hard on the right hand side and then 18/19 really difficult high speed Corners that leads in the last one which is an overtaking place also 5.6 km um like we always said is an amazing circuit all the drivers are super excited super happy since the very

First lap um there was a lot of excitement uh we have seen videos before coming here but actually driving it it’s even better the elevation changes are really challenging and when you are uh on track at the begin it takes a while to learn to understand it’s one of those

Places that uh the more you drive the more you learn the more you find uh you know find Details uh around the circuit it’s very challenging yeah it certainly looks it we can see the drivers all picking picking it up as they go along we had a

Tough race here uh the very first race here was a bit tough we had two safety cars out but we can see already everybody’s figured out where to overtake and where not to overtake and it was a very very clean but still extremely interesting race in in the in

The evening yesterday we had a fantastic train going on with Andre Petrovic and kill kov and sagger and I believe hamda was in there as well at the back even Omar Alani was trying to get his hand in there it was a fantastic fight they

Seemed to be up uh right on top of each other the enti entire race but nobody could find a way past Sager tried and tried and tried even at the carousel he was trying but just couldn’t get past Andre in front of him so I I really love

That race from the coaching point of view because uh we didn’t have so much action but it meant that nobody did mistake it meant that everybody drove his best and that the pace was so similar between them that it was really difficult to overtake each other so uh I

Think they all did did an amazing job and this made me very proud of them so from that point of view I think is the best race we had so far if if if definitely wasn’t the most exciting but it was my favorite from you know the the

Driving uh standards point of view everybody did an amazing job very clean but fair and tough and uh it it has also been the fastest race uh we had both for the leaders and both for uh also the guys that were more at the back they also improved massively and uh they had

So much uh faster pay so really promising so here we are ladies and gentlemen everybody stopped on grid now this is the formation lap I believe in just a moment you’ll see the lights go green and uh we’ll proceed around one more time this will be the final lap now

Before the start of the race once the cars come to rest once again at the starting grid you’ll see all five lights go on and as they extinguish we will be underway formation lap here we need to see everybody warming up their tires as Lucas explained to us time and time

Again there’s two methods to do this longitudinally and latitudinally in the sighting lap traditionally you’ll see the more longitudinal breaking to bring the temperature into the discs and pads and rims and warm up the inner uh the inner part of the tire and now you can see everybody moving to a longitudinal

Warm up pattern where they’re now trying to to warm up the exterior of the tire as well have I gotten that right this time around fantastic Aon so that’s a perfect explanation well I guess you can teach old job New Tricks H and um and this is the P tire so I

Will say for formula 4 is really good Tire I have to say and uh is what we see also in other uh championship at top levels in Formula 4 and uh but actually only Championship other than Italy that uses pelli isn’t it is Italy for sure

And also um Central east Europe see that uses per as well do they yes and uh and some winter cities also but uh I think uh it’s also important because when you go up in the next categories like for example the regional by Alpine or F3 F2

You have also a similar Tire in terms of characteristic because the same brand and uh pelli it’s a really good tire but it has a very specific uh and crucial warm up procedure that you you just have to learn and feel so for them they are rookies is also important that uh they

Learn this process so they will be able to to bring this experience forward in the in the next years and also because p is is um is so specific for the warmup once you learn how to feel it then also if you drive other tires then uh it’s an

Experience that that it’s really important because you can still transfer the experience on the other tires and uh and then I think is one of those things that uh it will remain forever and it’s like riding a bike yes to make a long story short yeah well

Coming down the back street now let’s have a quick run through the St fighting order in Pole Position we have the dark blue number 55 of Laura Laura Village driving for Sweden just ahead of Jano probio driving for the Philippines in the red number 77 the two drivers

Starting on the front grid on the front row the front grid by virtue of the reverse times the reverse second fastest laps from qualifying just behind them we have fisel Al cabani and Omar aled alderan the Saudi drivers in the silver and yellow cars respectively four uh

Fifth and six we have Fredo alrai and Sager Alma seventh and eighth ham alabasi and Oscar wartz Andre Petrovic and Kil kuskov round out the top 10 while Solomon zenfari Jabar Alani abdulaziz Abu zanada and abdulla alabasi round out the rest of the grid and unfortunately H amda alabasi not able to

Join us this weekend but she will be back in qar ladies and gentlemen and you can see now all the cars have taken their position on the grid safety car at the back of the grid and in just a moment we will see the lights go on 1 2

3 4 and five and once the extinguish we will be underway here we go ladies and gentlemen two lights 3 4 5 and away we go looks like a good start from joho and Laura Villas Omar Al having a little bit of a look up the inside siding against

It tucking in behind the cars in front of him as amda alabasi goes around the outside that turn one to get the inside line through 1 a can she make a move it looks like they’re four wide through 1 a and a spin there on the exit of 1A that

Appears to be an orange car perhaps that might be bad news for Solomon zenfari and indeed it is bad news from Solomon zenfari has a spin here at the opening section of the race seems like he’s going to be able to get going again so there won’t be any need for a safety

Guard fingers cross ladies and gentlemen as we come two or three wide through turn two and up over the crest of the Hill down into the Carousel of turns three four and five a little bit of a spin there as well for the green car of fisel of uh I believe that’s abdulaziz

Abu zanada and the number nine the orange car of Abdullah alabasi there may have been a little bit of contact there hopefully they will get going again as we come around the train into turn seven a little bit wide on the exit there as we come down now through the Flatout

Sections of uh turn 8 9 10 and 11 before we move into the right hand sector of the circuit looks like we’re going to be stuck with the safety car ladies and gentlemen cars number 11 that is Oscar wartz in the white number 11 car who seems to have made contact with the

Light blue car perhaps kill kov or Sager Alm uh we will see in just a moment who has had the unfortune uh to to move out of the track and uh bring in the safety car I’m sure we’ll get a replay of that action for you in just a moment as we

Continue around the circle now Omar Al Alani may have just made a critical error undertaking o uh overtaking under safety car I’m sure he just didn’t see the safety car lights out at the moment but unfortunately for him or maybe he just got his position back if uh we

Haven’t seen before maybe um one show yes that’s possible he may have been just taking back his position I hope for him that is exactly what’s happened and in any case safety guard has taken up the race leader and we will now proceed on the safety car until the cars on

Track can be cleared did you know is which corner they were at Luka um I believe uh between six and seven but uh or I mean uh it wasn’t it wasn’t clear while is good this is good news for zamari because he managed to restart the

Car and uh and pack up again without losing the lap so good news for him so this safety car definitely helps him because otherwise he was uh yeah it wouldn’t be oh also abdulla is uh out of the car yeah we saw a spin at turn two

Between the green car of abdulaziz abuan and the orange number n car of Abdullah Al cabasi the green car seem to get going again unfortunately Abdullah not able to do so and you can see him there going behind the the service barriers as we continue now down into turn two with

The safety car Leading The Possession a bit slow perhaps here with the safety car LCA they could go a bit faster if you think so yeah I mean we had um a bit of a discussion on what was the right pace for for the safety car I think the main

Goal was for the safety car to pick up first at the beginning and then uh they would probably ask them to speed up but also now we go in the area where there are you know the where there is yellow flag and there are the cars stopped so

They just maybe reduce the speed a little bit a little bit too much but uh um then I’m sure that once the truck is clear the safety car will speed up a little bit more yes indeed as they come over the crest now and down into turns

Three four and five the carousel Luca philipp’s favorite corner of the track M’s the next one uh on the circuit that’s turn six the sweeping Leander and it looks like we’re going to have a quick replay of the start of the break now and here we go ladies and gentlemen two

Lights three lights four and five lights and as they go out we are underway good start from the drivers on the front of the great Omar having a little bit of a look and ab abil aiz ab and actually seem to have a fantastic start at the

Back at the back of the grid as we come two or even three wide down into 1 a you can see ham alabasi trying to make a move on the inside of 1 a and you can see here this is what happened there’s just a little bit of a touch between the

Green car and the the orange car that’s abdulaziz Abu zanada and the orange car of Solomon zenfari Solomon spinning off as a result by managing to rejoin the race as you can see on screen at the moment back to the action you can see we are coming down into turn two on the

Replay here side by side again in multiple scenarios and you can see there’s this is where there’s going to be that little touch between abdulaziz abada and the orange car of Abdullah Al cabasi there you go on screen at the moment Abdullah managed to continue sorry abdulaziz managed to continue

While Abdullah stalls on track and this will be why one of the reasons why the safety car is brought out you can see here as well this is the primary reason now there’s going to be some contact in just a moment between the light blue car

And the white car of uh of kill kov and uh Oscar warts replay now from the angle of the Drone you can see a very very interesting angle of the start of the race uh down the grid you can see some people get getting a fantastic start as

We go three wide into turn into turn one 1 a and 1 B really interesting section of the track here because when you overtake on the inside at turn one you lose the advantage on the outside at Turn 1 B uh 1 a and then you gain it

Back again on 1 a so it’s a very complicated section of the track to get correct but it does seem as if some of the drivers are picking it up because we’re having a very very interesting race time and time again as we come down the main straight now with uh all the

Car is still proceeding behind the safety car hopefully we’ll get a message from race control soon that the safety car will be coming in uh but at the moment it seems that we’re still recovering the cars of Kil kov um Oscar ws and Abdullah Al cabasi abdulla kab’s car there and the

Orange car just coming behind the service roads and you can see the white and light blue cars being recovered so we should be underway momentary Luca FIP what words of wisdom do you have for FIS kabani at the front of the pack under the safety car restart so FAL is um is a

Really fast driver experience driver from Saudi and um he was a little bit inconsistent with his starts while today he had a good one and uh he also um managed to overtake laa Villas right before the safety car Intervention which was I think crucial for today because he

Has to try and uh once the once we have a restart to stretch as much as possible the Gap because uh L for sure will do her best to maintain podum position but uh definitely I expect federo arifi and Omar Alan trying to to to push from uh

The very begin right after the restart so in that phase FAL has an opportunity to try and stretch the lead a little bit um this is what I believe yeah well he’s got no choice if he wants to win the race he’s got to stretch that lead we saw it’s possible yesterday

Evening with Solomon zenari who managed to rack up a second lead ahead of Oscar wz the man in second place who is unfortunately still beached on the outside of turn seven I believe or is that the inside of turn six over there is that them over there on the inside of

Turn or the outside of turn five inside the turn six I didn’t see exactly where they spun off exactly m me neither like for sure it’s uh a bit weird the both cars were basically pointing out towards the the runoff area so I think it’s one of those

Scenarios where when you are will to will then you sort of a uh the rotation of the wheel coming together sort of a change the the direction of both cars and uh they lost control and they they got together like that and uh one of those things that uh in the first lap

Can happen definitely not what they wanted as they both uh they both had a very very fast uh Fast Pace like uh yesterday Oscar finally managed to have a strong race with a Podium position with P2 and uh today he definitely wanted to to to try and have a a couple of

Other podiums while kill starting from the fourth row from the first row yesterday uh he just didn’t just didn’t maximize uh after a slow start like we just said before so uh just a shame to to lose uh to two fast drivers and contenders for today’s

Uh race two yes indeed it is but it is good news for some of the other drivers on track such as Andre Petrovic who’s going to be trying his hardest to get up into the pting positions he of course will have to fight with uh Jano bro

Who’s just in front of him and Fredo Al 5 who seems to have had a very good start indeed fredero started off P5 and he’s now up into P3 already and I’m sure under the safety car restart he’s going to try and make a move on Laura Villas

Just in front of him and then immediately after that seek down Fel Al cabani down into turn two I’m sure that’s the goal he has in mind but he’s not going to be allowed to get away with uh with that easily because Omar Al alderan in the yellow Saudi car the

Number 18 car is right behind him and he’s going to be trying everything to get up on the top step of the podium hasn’t managed to have a Podium yet so far this weekend or last weekend unfortunately but he’s got his eyes set on it for this race and with P4 in the

Safety car restart he may well be able to make something happen for Saudi Arabia here this weekend but I’m sure he’ll be uh he’ll be uh he’ll be pushing on his compatriot as well F Al kabani who’s another Sai driver driving the silver number seven car at the front of

The Grid at the moment this is uh going to be a very interesting experience for fisel here cuz it’s going to be his first safety car restart where he’s leading the grid I believe in these formula 4 cars he’s going to have the opportunity to control everything and

See exactly what happens at the restart and he’s only going to have a few Corners to to finalize any planning he may have in regards to that as I just see from race control the safety guard should be in this lap we understand that the safety car light should go out at

Turn 16 so we are just four corners away ladies and gentlemen from that happening and once it does the safety car will proceed away from the Grid in order to give them space to maneuver and F Al kabani will take over as the leader of the race no overtaking allowed until the

Cars cross the start Finish Line so that means Fel will have control of the pack and you can see already the safety car lights have gone off and it is proceeding away from the pack everybody speeding up in response to this F Al kab now has to decide what exactly he’s

Going to do and when he’s going to put put the down we’ve seen different concepts here we saw ham kesi start about Midway down the the back straight we’ve seen other driv is start all the way at the beginning of the back straight and we saw one guy uh just

About at the at the at the final Corner hit the hit the gas so it’s going to be up to fisel to see exactly what he does and let’s have a look on track now we can see that he’s still backing everybody up coming down the back straight now and that’s his prerogative

To do so I suspect that he’s going to make a move coming just out of turn 20 and he’s going to try and get his ties as warm as possible for before he does that everybody queuing up behind him now and you can see he’s already put the

Throttle Down coming down into the exit of turn 20 seems to have gotten away very nicely indeed definitely got a bit of a jump there on Lara vill as they come across to start finish L let’s have a quick run through the order we’ve got fisel alabin Laura villis fedo Al Rafi

Omar Alder and it looks like there’s going to be an overtake between the two red cars the sister red cars 77 of John ch robio and the 49 of Andre Petrovic Andre taking a very calm and level-headed uh approach to this overtaking maneuver on his teammate has

To come through 1 a 1B and down the second straight into turn two which is a fantastic overtaking opportunity and it seemed like Andre pic got a much better better exit coming out of turns 1 B and he’s going to make the move up into turn

Two is the light blue car of Sager Alm is going to make a move as well yes indeed he does both two cars follow the way through the uh the Serbian and the Kuwaiti drivers managing to make a move up on the Philippines into turn two as

We come down through the carousel around the Leander now turn six it looks like Fredrico Ali making a move on the inside of turn six there on laa Villas can he close the door through turn seven and secure that position I believe he already has and has got now fisel alaban

In his sights as we come down through the flat out snaky section here of turns n 10 uh 10 and 11 before the right-handed section of the track luuka flip what did you think of that we time so Lara Villers did a super job in maintaining the position even uh in turn

Two which you know is an overtaking place but then uh uh she was a bit you know caught by Federico uh just in a changing off Direction after that but uh I think you know she she’s doing her her job uh right in order to maintain uh

Stay calm and uh and do her best federo we have seen his one of the the fastest driver of the series so it wasn’t easy for her to keep him behind and faal yeah he still in the lead but uh couldn’t quite stretch the Gap as maybe he wanted

To and you can see on track lead Al and the yellow number 18 carard is having a a lot of difficulty here trying to fend off the red number 49 of the Serbian driver Andre Petrovic as we come down the main straight now uh Andre Petrovic

Makes a move up the inside that turn one secures that position on Omar Al Alani Omar not going to give it up easily though tries to fight back on the outside trying to take that inside line through one a can’t quite hold on to it

And goes a little bit wide he’s lost a bit of time there may have to now sacrifice another position to the light blue car of the Ku driver Sager alash the number five car on the left hand side of your screen now lad and gentlemen is he going to make a move up

The ins the outside at turn two can he make it sticking it looks like right behind him ham alabasi may be trying to follow her way through as well around the outside at 10 to two wide through turn two looks like Omar manages to push him just slightly wide and Handa is

Going to capitalize on that loss of momentum to try and take Sager alash Alani can she do that no she cannot zaga pushes her off in the orange number 52 of Solomon zenfari now capitalizing on the last momentum with the cars in front of him to overtake h alabasi on the

Inside at turn six closing the door through turn seven and we’re now into the flat out section of the track yeah we were saying yesterday we had a very clean race and not so much action but here it is today race two what a a fantastic race a lot of action and good

Job from suan zamari in uh you know just being at the right time in the right place and uh he just got and kubes while Omar is in a bit of a struggle after the restart we expected him to fight for uh a Podium position after where he was in

Mistake from uh FAL cabani but he maintained the lead for a moment well I think that he purposely went a little bit wide there as we’ve seen uh that that section of the track has a little bit of a aggressive curb so we’ve instructed them to go uh if you lose a

Little bit just go completely wide and avoid the curb so you don’t damage the under body of the car unfortunately for him though he lost a lot of momentum and it seems like fredero alrai has taken advantage of that and is up in P1 as we

Come down into the final corner of the track F alaban of course not not going to give up easily as we come down the main straight now you can see him trying to get a toe on the driver in front of him but he’s maybe just a little bit too

Far back to make that happen just behind them we see a lot of action on track with the number 49 the red car of the Serbian driver Andre Petrovic and just behind them of course we have uh Laura vill is still holding in there for P4

Fantastic drive so far from her yeah laa I mean she she did great also to stay uh quite close to the guys in front so it’s also good for her to get references and to stay in the lead pack so she can also improve a little bit of driving and uh

And you know also imitation is one of those things that these guys they do no while they are following other people it’s not just the slip string at the toe it’s also uh learning from what you can see from the lines and the techniques from the guy in front and uh she’s uh

She’s doing a really good job in maintaining the position and also in not making mistakes stay uh in the line nicely good job for her to see how close the Yow caroma Alan was behind her through the castle they look right up almost touching indeed it was yeah super

Close and uh potentially this is a section where we have seen uh Omar quite fast in this very long uh corner and uh ideally he has to try and um and stay flat out through turn 19 and maybe F A TR uh turn 20 which is is the last turn

Of uh of the circuit and the battle for um I believe that is seventh position is still undergoing between Solomon Zen far and ham alabasi in the orange number 52 and the purple number eight car Solomon took that position a few laps ago but Hamer is not giving up easily and it’s

Been tussling back and forth between the two of them ever since as you can see at the front of the track uh Andre pic trying to make a move on the man in front of him F Al cabani and just behind IND them saaga almash is trying to make

A move on Laura Villas Laura holding on as hard as she can but it looks like Saga got a very very good exit coming out of turn 20 and he may be alongside already as they come down into turn one and he has secured that position for

Kuwait that puts sagger up into P5 and now he can start charging down the men in front of him so we now have um car 18 and 77 for potential overtaking under safety car we have seen a situation uh but uh for sure they are reviewing it

Looks like we’re going to go three wide down it’s turn two San and fire making a move up the inside of Laura Village while amda alabas tries to make a move as well they’re both past Laura and can Handa capitalize on this to try make her

To get herself back in front of the orange car the Moroccan car can she do that not quite as you come around turn six now are you as surprised as I am looker at how many overtakes we’ve seen on the sweeping left-hander of turn six it’s become my favorite corner of the

Track yes um we have seen that the inside line is working very well especially if you can prepare the angle in order to have a good exit and then stay in the inside and uh and just make a shorter distance and is is really rewarding yes indeed and you can see

Andre Petrovic still struggling to get past the man in front of him FIS alab fisel having a very good race indeed to hold off the extremely experienced Serbian kter as we come around into the final sector of the track now you can see hamal kesi all over the back of the

Orange number 52 of Solomon zenfari Solomon zenfari having a spin at the beginning of the race really uh changed things up for him in this session and hamda is trying to capitalize on that loss of momentum he had at the beginning of the session to gain uh a higher pting

Position from herself coming down the back straight now you can see that Andre Petrovic is just right up behind the silver number seven of fisal Al Fel holding on for dear life as Andre looks for a position left looks for a position right but just can’t find a way past the Silver

Bullet so in this lap uh Omar he was the fastest on track so after the restar wasn’t really finding the right Rhythm but now he’s the fastest guy on the circuit and uh as you can see he got now quite close to uh the podium fight uh between Al

Cabani and Petrovic and you see how FAL is defending Petrovic right behind him switching back left and right the red car having to have a look for the move left and right again as we come down through turn two he decides to tuck in behind the Silver Bullet in front of him

And down up well up over the over the crest down into the carousel looks like a bit of a wide line there from the silver number seven are we going to see an over another overtake on the inside of turn six Andre not quite close enough

To put pull it off this time around as we switch back now to the right-handed turn seven and then down through the flat out section of the track a bit of a breather here perhaps for f alaban can regain his composure and look for a way to pull away from the driver behind

Him yeah watch out also because uh Omar alayan and Sak moseri they are also joining the group so now is a a fight for four guys for the moment and uh uh let’s see is uh this isn’t very interesting it’s a very very interesting battle indeed and we saw wide Again everybody managing to continue through safely though with the silver car still at the head of this pack but he has definitely lost momentum with that Excursion come around now the penultimate corner of the track I can see them out the commentators window as they come down the back straight now

Looks like they’re the red car of Andre Petrovic is just a little bit too far back to make a move on the silver bullet but Omar Al Alani may be close enough and it looks like he’s going to switch back on the red number 49 at the exit of

Turd 20 can he get in the slipstream and come alongside before turn one not quite doesn’t quite have enough exit speed from that corner but it definitely appears like Andre Petrovic has had to back off in his uh Second Place challenge in order to defend from the

Yellow and blue cars over my Alani and Sager almash just behind him as we come down the second straight now and into turn two which is another fantastic overtaking opportunity up the inside or around the outside Luka F what do you predict and it looks like Sagar almes is

Not going to give you an opportunity to answer as he’s now side by side with Omar aled aljani through turn two both drivers giving each other enough space but being pushed just a slightly a bit wide there is the yellow cars that come down into the carousel can Omar maintain

Track position he does so very very effectively indeed and oh my God ladies and gentlemen the orange number 52 of Solomon zenfari is taking advantage of this battle and it’s gone around the inside of sagur Alm on turn six and is now going to be able to close the door

Through turn seven and have a flat out section to gain a little bit of distance between his on track rival as they come down in two turns 12 13 14 15 and 16 this is the next chance where we might see an overtake and it may be possible

For sagur almash to regain that position on the Moroccan driver as they come down into this the right-handed sector of the track we can see a yellow car light blue car a purple car and an orange car so it seems like amda alabasi is in there as

Well now yeah so Anda went the inside on the inside in turn seven and she just uh found uh the the space she needed to just squeeze the in on the inside and uh and yeah she made it stick um Saker was able to hold on on the outside from suan

Zamari and defend and that gave amda the momentum and the opportunity to to also get the play and now amda she’s looks really fast and really close to Sak Al moeri Anda she’s now uh really really fast at the moment and she maybe also able to mantain his tire in the right

Working range and he seems one of the fastest car on track for the moment well after maneuver like that you’ve really got to regain a lot of confidence I mean you have to give uh you have to give credit to Omar as well he managed to

Fight back from turn two and regain that position at turn three sliding down through the carousel to push Sager off and and regain his position fantastic driving from the Saudi yeah Omar is a fighter we know that also because um it was the the right time to to try and do

It because uh it was so close to the fight with Petrovic and and Al kabani and uh if he lost the the position to sakare it would have been really difficult to to stay in that fight for the podium but now uh if he can you know focus and close the gap again

You still have one and a half lap to go and we can see the result of all of this battling is that Andre Petrovic has been able to put the pedal down and is now challenging again for second Position as we can come around now through to through turn six and then down into turn seven we’re going to have a quick look into the pit Lane and everybody paying a rapid attention to the timing screens back onto the track now though we have Fredo alberi in the white number

10 car stretching his lead and as you can see Andre Petrovic right up behind the Silver Bullet of number seven car but om my Al Alani is catching as well and we’re going to have a very very interesting last lap I believe as we come through the right-handed sectors of

The track now turns 12 13 14 and 15 we can see a little bit of a different line there from the yellow car uh luuka phip what’s the right line through this section of the track so um you have to maximize the minimum speed you have to

Try and carry as much speed as possible is a fourth gear Corner that one and uh or or F or fifth also and uh you have to carry as much speed as possible and now we have amda really really close long outside there she going to make a move

Not quite stays tucked in but it looks like fisel Al cabani has lost his second position to uh to Andre Petrovic and Omar Al alderan May made a bit of mistake coming out of the corner there that fast section is one of those places that oh oh big big contact here coming

Into turn one that’s the wing off the car the car is Beed in the gravel that is going to be a safety car ladies and gentlemen and I believe that’ll mean we will end on the safety car as well coming down the second straight now though safety car hasn’t uh been

Released yet so there is still action on track as it seems like ham alabasi is going to take a position away from Kuwait coming down into turn two now saer managing to maintain his track position quite well indeed as they come up over the crest and down into the

Carousel turns three four and five hamda following as closely as possible and the orange number 52 of Solomon zenfari right behind her looking up the inside of turn six we’ve seen this maneuver before but ham wise to the tactic and has seemed to close the door coming

Through turn seven as we come down now into the flat out turns 8 9 and 10 and 11 before the right-handed section of the track Luca fipy do you think we’re going to see a safety car for that car reached out turn one or because it’s the

Last lap might we get away without it so definitely we can see from here a yellow flag displayed in uh in that area uh which is turn two so if we see a safety car uh we might have to wait until uh uh we cross

More or less the Finish Line as uh as the truck is clear until uh when we arrive uh basically before turn two um such a shame for faal and um he he had a bit of a difficult uh lap and uh he was trying to regain a position and uh

Unfortunately just uh touched the rear of Sakira moeri and lost control this is now the final lap I believe and as we cross the start Finish Line we have Fredrico Al RI taking first position ahead of Andre Petrovic and Omar Al Duran Saga alas bringing us fourth

Position here for Kuwait and ham alabasi taking home fifth quick replay now of the action here with fisel Al kabani I believe as we come down you can see him try to make a move onto the inside line on the Kuwaiti driver ahead of him but just

Clips what would appear to be the the rear left tire of the Kuwaiti driver and gets beached into the entrance of turn one so yeah what a shame uh that the race has ended for like this uh for fa [Applause] out big lock up there for the number 9

Driver abdulaziz Abu zanada coming down into turn two but everybody seems to be okay and has gotten out of the car and in just a moment the recovery process will continue and uh we will head down to the podium for the results and uh that’s my Q Lucas so I’ll leave you to

Entertain the ladies and gentlemen as we all head down to the podium procession thanks Aon and so uh as you can see uh we had a lot of action today so after a very clean race um yesterday today we have seen a lot of action many overtaking Maneuvers and Federico

Um after not a brilliant qualifying from yesterday he managed to uh pull up uh a a strong strong race especially maximizing the restart he got the place from laa veelers and uh later on he uh just uh was behind FAL cabani and after a small mistake from FAL he was

Able to uh gain the lead of the race and uh another victory for fedo arifi not the perfect day for him yesterday but today is starting definitely on the right foot and another Podium for Andre Petrovic very consistent guy is really consistent always there and um quite impressive

He’s also a rookie so is um not so experienced but uh what we have seen from him is uh is definitely somebody who has a lot of talent and then omaran uh really funny guy he a fighter is um fast guy and uh today he he he managed to

Bring home a Podium and he fought for it he fought so is well deserved and uh Saka moeri another before home race for him for Sager and uh is displayed is shown a lot of uh speed and then amda um she was probably the fastest today again um she didn’t have a

Fantastic start unfortunately but uh her Pace was uh was really good and uh also good points for amda sulan zamari not uh the start of the race that he wanted as uh he had a contact and a spin in lap one but uh also thanks to

The safety car he was able to rejoin uh uh the group and uh and then he did a good fight with amda through the race and uh top six finishes is good La laa Villers um starting from the first row I think and a PO position laa did a very

Clean good race also the Gap to the leaders uh was uh was was quite sure and especially her best lap is a really good lap because she managed to do a lap in a 2 minute 04 so good job laara because the Improvement you made has been uh

Incredible and also wano managed to do a 204 so this means that now uh we have almost all the drivers in within one second so also LA and wancho thanks to also the reverse GD they are also able to race in the lead pack and this is really helping

Them to understand and learn the Rhythm um lap by lap uh following the lines and if you see the guy in front with the same far as you able to carry sentence speed then you’re also doing the same thing so here we have a replay of the accident so

Fasal is uh trying to make one of those maneuver where you hide let’s say yourself on the outside and then in the breaking you try and cross the line and from the outside you go into the outside so in order to surprise your rival and

Um here we see the big lock up from uh Abdul Aid in the last lap but faal uh yeah I mean the what he tried to do it was um a correct maneuver it’s just that at the same time Saker just breaks for his breaking point so that has surprised

Faal a little bit and he he just um didn’t time perfectly the maneuver go marello for the interviews oh Mar Daran what a great race you had actually you had really strong Pace especially in the middle of the race you were one of the quickest car on truck and water bottle you have

Right over there even with Sakira MOSI can you explain how it work it between two three and four side by side wow um yeah from bahin you know that I like to go side by side in Corners uh but the fight with sagur was very fair uh very

Fun honestly we hugged around the outside and then I got inside two corners later and then it was mostly just trying to stick together to catch the pack ahead uh because we were catching and then we’d fight and we’d lose couple mistakes here and there could have race could have been better

But uh nevertheless I’m happy with P3 well with the pace you had with the strong Pace you had seemed that you lost a little bit time of time in the first couple of lap right yeah the first couple laps I was really struggling with something I don’t know if it was myself

Or the car but I just couldn’t get myself in the groove um but once the adrenaline kicked in cars are around me it was just go go go from there congratulation very great Podium yes sir Andre pic yeah definitely you’re always there you’re always getting Point how can you

Be so strong with your Fai yeah I I mean I’m very consistent and last five races I got five podiums so I’m very happy the every time I was third so now I improved to Second and you know starting from n9th it was a long way back but I had a

Really good good start and managed to get second I hope that’s how we go and next race I go first but we’ll see well you’re getting always better so hopefully the next one will be the highest step congratulations really good job kifi winner of race four last week and

This time you won the second race of the week yesterday you were struggling a little bit during qualifying but now you’re back yeah we had a not so great qualifying we um but yeah first race was okay we just got stuck behind um the cars and we couldn’t really do much this

Race was definitely a l better I managed to get past um four cars in front and I just pulled away so your wor seemed to be quite easy standing right there in front all the people just managing the Gap at the end of the race you were just

Keeping the pace or you were trying to pulling away I was trying to save the tires as you know I got quite a lot of uh graining I was trying to save them for next race and try and avoid as much as I could thank you fedo go enjoy the
