KF3 World Cup slippes off Verstappen's hands in the final

The CIK-FIA KF3 World Cup which took place in Sarno showed no luck voor CRG-driver Max Verstappen. Verstappen could not tackle Leclerc's overtaking attempt for a problem in his engine when the CRG driver was second and fighting for the win of the KF3 world cup.

After being one of the major protagonists of the KF3 world cup since the time trials and throughout all the qualifying heats thanks to his five wins and a second place, Max Verstappen in the final did not manage to get what he deserved. In the final, the CRG driver had some troubles after starting on the outside front row. Verstappen was third after the first bend, but he was soon very close to the leading drivers. While second and ready to attack the leader, he was obliged to go off-track when Leclerc, at the fourth lap, drew up alongside him in the inner part of the fast hairpin bend before the fast bend which leads to the finishing line: it was right then that the Dutch driver's engine did not respond as it was supposed to do for an electrical failure. It is a shame that for the second time Verstappen has to renounce to conquer a CIK-FIA title for no fault of his.
