Qualifying

This year the series regulations allow for two 15-minute qualifying sessions, with a break of 5 minutes in between. The fastest lap time for each driver in session 1 sets the grid for Race One and the fastest lap time in the second session is used to set the starting positions for Race Two. The grid for Race Three is determined by the results of Race Two, with the first eight finishers starting in reverse order.

Race One (30 minutes)

The first race to the 2021 FIA F4 ADAC German championship was started on time. Although dark gray clouds hung over the circuit, the rain did not come. Francesco started well, but then he was very impatient. At first he made up positions in a wild drive, but then he collided with Valint, which meant that both had to go to the pit lane. Of course, the chance of a top ten place was gone. Francesco got a new front wing and then rejoined the race. He reached the finish in 21^st place. Samir worked his way up from 22^nd to 17^th place. Jorge started from 23^rd place and reached the finish line right behind Samir in 20^th place. After the race Armanni was disqualified, and all of our drivers moved up one place.

Race Two (30 minutes)

Because a barrier was damaged in the previous race, the start of the F4 race was delayed by one hour. When it finally started, everyone was very impatient. Francesco went off track several times and dropped from 8^th to 14^th place. But then he found his rhythm and worked his way up to an excellent 10^th final place in beautiful maneuvers. Jorge and Samir managed to avoid all incidents. Jorge reached the finish safely in a good 18^th place and Samir, who went off track and was able to continue after a spin, reached the checkered flag in 21^st place.

In the third race, Francesco had big plans. The start went well and soon he was up in 9^th place. It was tough at the front and positions kept changing. After a safety car phase, Francesco moved up to 6^th place. After a contact with Tramnitz, in which the latter lost the rear wing, Francesco was already in 3^rd place and fought with Montoya and Browning. Francesco crossed the finish line in an excellent 2^nd place after a great race. But after the race he was handed a 30-second penalty for colliding with Tramnitz, dropping him back to 14^th place. Jorge also drove a very good race and made steady progress. In the end, he reached the finish in 11^th place, and after Francesco’s penalty, he moved up to 10^th place and thus into the top ten. Samir couldn't get away at the start, but caught up later and crossed the finish line in a good 12^th place after an exciting race.
