Absolute domination. Ukrainian driver wins second stage victory in F4
The last race of the second stage of Formula 4 Middle East (UAE4) was held. Ukrainian driver Alexander Bondarev, a youngster at the Williams Racing F1 team academy and driver for the Mumbai Falcons, is participating in the prestigious off-season championship.
The Ukrainian started from pole position and won in qualifying. The pilots spent the first part of the race behind the safety car, but the restart was made 15 minutes before the finish.
After the start of the race, Bondarev immediately took the lead. While his main rivals Scott Lindblom and Andy Kosandi were fighting among themselves, Alexander steadily increased his advantage and was 4.5 seconds ahead of his closest pursuer at the finish line.
This was the Ukrainian pilot’s second victory in a stage after his victory in the first race. Thanks to this, Bondarev increased his lead in the overall championship standings to 16 points at the end of the season.
The next round of Formula 4 Middle East will take place at the Dubai Circuit between 30 January and 1 February.
