Nakajima wins at Lausitz
F3 Euroseries got its fourth different winner in as many races at EuroSpeedway Lausitz on Sunday, as Kazuki Nakajima won his first race outside Japan
The son of former F1 racer Saturo, Nakajima (Manor Motorsport) took control after early leader Guillaume Moreau (Signature) was penalised for a jump-start from the front row of the grid.
The Frenchman ignored the drive-through penalty, however, so when he pitted on lap 9, he was instructed not to rejoin the race.
Nakajima set fastest lap on his way to a 7.4-second victory over Richard Antinucci (HBR), Paul di Resta (ASM), and Romain Grosjean (Signature).
Yesterday's winner, Manor's Esteban Guerrieri, could only manage fifth place due to the reverse grid for race 2. He was stuck behind Sebastien Vettel (ASM) for 15 laps before finally finding a way past at Turn 1.
Vettel just held off Jonathan Summerton (Mucke Motorsport) for sixth.
