WSK Euro Series Sarno: Hanley and Lammers in KZ1

Friday – Hanley gets another chance achieving the pole. The English Ben Hanley (ART GP-TM-Bridgestone) confirmed to be the most dangerous rival for the Dutch Max Verstappen (CRG-TM-Bridgestone), current leader of the KZ1 standings. He started his race attacking and achieving the pole position thanks to his 1’03″521. For Hanley there could not have been a better moment to attack Verstappen’s leadership: the Dutch driver, in fact, got stuck for an engine issue and did not manage to do better than tenth place, 3 tenths of a second slower than Hanley. On the other hand, the weekend started well for the Czech Patrik Hajek (Praga-Parilla-Bridgestone), second with a 0″169 gap, and the Dutch Bas Lammers (Intrepid-TM-Bridgestone), third and just few milliseconds behind.

Saturday – Hanley ahead in KZ1. Despite the positions in the race were rather steady, Ben Hanley, winner of the KZ1 Final 1, and his most dangerous rival, Bas Lammers kept on fighting throughout the race. Lammers, eventually, finished second. Hanley managed to keep him at bay and, finally, achieved a crucial victory for the season. In fact, the current leader, Max Verstappen had to recover from the initial sixth position to the final third position. Lammers now plays a major role in the final sprint between the two favourite drivers.

Sunday – Lammers wins imperiously in KZ1. It looked like the KZ1 Final was a matter between Ben Hanley and Bas Lammers. The two drivers arrived in the Final sharing an equal number of victories in the heats – they won all of them – and started from the front row, even though they kept this order only during the first lap. In fact, after the first lap Lammers gained the lead followed by the Belgian Jonathan Thonon (CRG-Maxter-Bridgestone). Eventually, the Italian Paolo De Conto (Birel-TM-Bridgestone) pushed Hanley down the podium and placed third.
