Verstappen's leadership in WSK Euro Series KF3 gets steadier in Genk

Published on 12 May 2010 by Niels Hendrix

The whole CRG-Maxter Official Team achieved an outstanding performance in the fourth and last event but one of the WSK Euro Series on the technical and fast track of Horensbergdam, at Genk, Belgium. The Belgian weekend was absolutely positive for the more and more performing driver Max Verstappen. At Genk he obtained a third place in the pre-final – after a great recovery – and was the runner-up of the final. Thanks to these results now his leadership in KF3 is much steadier.

Now there are 62 points between him and the English driver Alexander Albon, the only real rival left for the championship.
Verstappen needs four more points either in the pre-final or final in the last race of the WSK Euro Series at Sarno (Italy) next 6th June to put his hands on the trophy.

Max Verstappen (KF3): "I'm glad for my result, especially because it comes in handy for the championship. I'm happy for the set up I managed to get for my CRG, after the weekend hadn't started quite well. The crash I had during the last qualifying heat pushed me back to the 7th position on the starting grid of the pre-final. However, I was able to recover and arrive in third. Then in the final, I tried to get the leadership of the race, but I had to give in because the track was rather slippery and I was happy with the second place. Anyway, I'm leading the general ranking of the championship with a wide gap of points: I hope I will be able to do a good race at Sarno and, who knows, I might even win the last race."

Omar Di Gesualdo, CRG Team Manager: "It was a very positive weekend for our team. Verstappen did a good job in KF3: despite the crash during a heat which pushed him back in the starting grid of the pre-final, he managed to achieve a good result anyway."
