One point isn't enough though for Prema is it?

I dunno...
Edit: Apparently not. So what was that talk about being equal on points and counting the number of victories then?

Yeah, it wasn't great. The track doesn't help. The fact Trident seem determined to moan about the result despite winning also seems a bit strange.

Of course. Such an attitude only works if you (continue to) deliver. Looks like Novalek took it in good spirit though, and the race definitely needed a bit of needle.

yeah i guess everyone in f3 is trash then lol Doohan has certainly improved a hell of a lot over the last 12 months. It's always hard for aussies to make that initial jump overseas, so i guess its not a surprise he's come good.

He is still very young too, hard to say just how good he is/could be - so will be interesting to see how he develops.

So odd to be telling Doohan to move over instead of Novolak to hold station, if they did that then Vesti wasn't getting past anyway... very strange given, as the commentators said, its every driver for themselves in F3

I can only think that they felt Doohan was potentially holding Novalak up, and they were concerned it would result in Vesti catching and passing both of them. I think the commentators said if Vesti beat Doohan and Novalak then they would've been tied on points with Prema, who would've won on countback.

True, but prior to fighting the first time Vesti was 3 sec behind and losing a bit of time per lap, if they were concerned, that was the time raise it.  Otherwise, holding station after that first altercation would have given Vesti very little chance of passing anyway, due to DRS train.

 

I'm not favouring Jack here, I can see why the team wanted to get them to hold, and I see it the same as you in that regard, but it was just poorly managed I think.

A curious statement.  FREC only really has Saucy, the rest are pretty average.  F3 has at least 6 potential top level talents

Saucy has been a surprise because his previous form hadn't suggested he will dominate like this (I was expecting rookie Gabriele Mini, one of his teammates at ART to be closer to him, honestly). But I wouldn't say he's the only one of notice there. Vidales has been sort of disappointing but he's only in his second season in cars (after a brow-raising campaign in Formula Renault Eurocup last year) and, although less consistent than Paul Aron (hence with less points in the championship), he has got the more impressive results for Prema this year. Colapinto has been relatively disappointing after being third in FR Eurocup last year (behind the more experienced Martins and Collet and ahead of, among others, Saucy) but it is obvious he's the only driver capable of doing something with the MP machinery this year (and there are normally 6 of those MP prepared cars on the grid) as it was a bit of the case in 2020 (his most competitive teammate, Hadrian David, was only P10 in the FR standings and look where David is this year with the fancy R-Ace GP team, P2 behind Saucy). I also like Belov. He obviously doesn't seem to have the budget to do anything full time in tha last couple of years but every time he gets a chance he outperforms most other drivers in equal machinery. He got two P2 finishes at Paul Ricard where he was a guest driver for JD Motorsports, a team whose other drivers this season (Dudu Barrichello, Tommy Smith and part timer Ido Cohen) haven't got even close to the points. He then switched to the unfancy G4 team and has been a front runner despite the other G4 racers (full timer Axel Gnos and part timers Alessandro Famularo and Belén García) being backmarkers.

Exactly. He may have "clicked" this year (and he was never a bad or slow driver at all), but his extraordinary campaign is most likely due to a perfect conjunction of stars (his driving was solid last year in FR but no match to teammate Victor Martins, he was also solid on TRS earlier in 2020) I still think Vidales, Colapinto and Belov (and probably others, maybe Alex Quinn?) should be noticed at least in equal measure.

 

EDIT: regretfully, neither Belov nor Colapinto seem to have the money to progress in single seaters (I understand MP wanted Colapinto to do F3 with them this year but money forced him to stay in Formula Regional level). Don't know what's the situation with Vidales in this respect. (I also think of Yifei Ye, another clearly talented but somewhat unfunded driver whose mediocre season in F3 didn't help but would have deserved better as it wasn't a fair showing of his abilities)

Not really: there is considerably more talent on that grid as in F3 (and also as in F2 imho). Last year Italian F4 had the most raw talent on the grid of any single seater feeder series and many of hem progressed to F. Regional this year.

 

Many drivers this year in F. Regional are rookies (and quite a few of them with only one year of F4 under their belt). Saucy has more experience as them and he is considerably older but we should also take in account that Saucy didn't do international karting (he just raced in Switzerland and not many races at all) so this is probably the reason that it took him longer to blossom.

 

You mention that FIA F3 has 6 potential top level talents. Well 6 is not much at all if you consider that 35 drivers did a FIA F3 race this year. It depend also how you define 'top level talent'. Victor Martins is for me the most talented driver in FIA F3 for sure, I believe he has the highest ceiling of the field.

Apart from Martins I would mention Caio Collet, Dennis Hauger, Logan Sargeant, Clément Novalak, Frederik Vesti, Aleksandr Smolyar, Lorenzo Colombo, Jak Crawford & Ayumu Iwasa (didn't do bad if you consider it's just his second year in an international competition outside Japan) as drivers to watch. Jack Doohan also off course but he needs to confirm his form next year because prior to this year he didn't show much. Sargeant almost won the title last year and performed excellent in a mediocre team imho.

 

But honestly I think Martins is the only truly special talent in FIA F3, possibly with Collet but I'm not yet fully convinced of him. And Sargeant is probably seriously underrated, he did very well for a small team this year and almost won the title in '20 and let's not forget: he won a karting world title. Crawford is also very interesting to monitor and might be in that special talent region as well considering how young he is. He for sure is better as Jonny Edgar. But at this point in time Martins is the only one I'm certain of that he is good enough to make it in F1.

 

Clément Novalak is a driver that dissapointed me this season, I think he underperformed but it's a driver I rate highly. I didn't expect Doohan to be so strong and that he would beat Novalak but he's proven me wrong. Vesti drove quite well this season but I think many had expected him to challenge for the title but I guess his team was less competitive as Prema & Trident.

 

Now looking at Formula Regional I honestly see a lot more drivers with special talent as in FIA F3. Gabriele Mini is imho the most talented driver of all single seater feeder series. But Colapinto, Vidales, Hadjar (will be a Red Bull junior in '22), Beganovic, Pizzi, David, Bortoletto, Maloney, Rosso, Haverkort, Aron etc... are all more talented as the average current FIA F3 driver. Their results just don't show that 'but they're all very very good.

 

It is an exceptional field of talent this year in F. Regional but it goes widely unnoticed because the races are rather uneventful since it is so much harder to pass in these cars as in an F4, F3 or F2 car (no DRS + worse combination of power / downforce as other classes) and because one driver who is much older and more experienced in this class is dominating.

 

The thing is: most people just look at the points table and the results and they see nothing special. But I have been following all these drivers since their karting days. I've watched their karting races and have seen their overtaking ability or their raw steering talent since karting. I've seen some of them race live in front of my own eyes. And believe me there are some huge talents in this class and there are some of those in F3 as well but not as many as in F. Regional. And Mini is the best one of them imho: he is potential F1 material, top drawer talent. So is Andrea Kimi Antonelli who recently did his first F4 race and will do a full season next year as a rookie: top drawer talent in the mould of Max, Leclerc & Lewis if you ask me.

If you ask me who is going to be the next Max or Lewis from current feeder series drivers? Well I will point at Mini and at Kimi Antonelli (who just did 1 race weekend so far). I rate them higher as Piastri or Pourchaire. Mini won the first car race he ever did, he even score pole position in his first 3 car races and in an exceptionally strong field. The kid stepped in a car from a kart, with massive pressure considering his karting cv, and just blasted everyone and won the title as a rookie.  And you're telling me that he is an average driver just because he isn't dominating F. Regional (because he lacks experience)? Mini is managed by Nicolas Todt, he is bound to make it all the way to F1 if you ask me and so is Kimi Antonelli.
 

Off course there are also weak drivers in F. Regional like Smith, Marinangeli, Gnos, Ferati, Bardinon, Göhler, Pesce or Bühler but in FIA F3 you've also got the likes of Chovanec, de Gerus, Villagomez or Toth and F2 has got an exceptional weak one with Deledda. So if you look at weaker drivers than F. Regional probably has more of them yest but they also got more top talents in it imho.

Next year I expect Italian F4 to have an exceptional field again with many karting starts looking to move up to F4. This year has been a lesser season in F4 (talent depth wise, the grids are still filled up nicely in Italy & Spain), since last season was a vintage year.

How many do you expect there to be ??  Six is a lot for any one year.  I am talking about guys who will go on to win in F2, Indycars and some even getting to F1.  How many of the FREC field are even going to win in F3, let alone advance anywhere further?

If a driver that has never won a race before this year despite being there for years dominates a campaign then the grid simply isnt extraordinary talented, quite the opposite. Maybe 1 or 2 rookies but in general no, sorry.

I see Antonelli as the best karting driver since Verstappen, but after one okay weekend in cars to already claim that he is more talented than drivers that already ran impressively quick through the whole ladder is simply ridiculous. Too many karting drivers fade once they reach this stage, let's talk about this again in one year.

I'm not seeing anything special in FREC this year tbh. But it's early and sometimes kids surprise later on. Maybe Mini will be the hype kid he was in karting and just needs a bit more experience.

At the moment I'm more curious about how the likes of Crawford develop in a second season of F3, than anyone coming in from FREC.

If a driver that has never won a race before this year despite being there for years dominates a campaign against less experienced drivers that beat him convincingly last year in the same type of cars (Colapinto, Quinn, Vidales), then talent is not the issue here

I haven't given this much thought, but I think the current car is the reason why I find it difficult to judge this year's FREC field. Overtaking seems very difficult, and I suspect that the grid position therefore is more important than it was in Formula Renault or European F3. You rarely see a driver impress by advancing through the field throughout the race, do you? The current car (and perhaps the current tyre?) just doesn't seem to be good for racing; the slipstream doesn't seem strong enough and drivers don't seem to make as many mistakes as in Formula Renault, European F3 or FIA F3, perhaps because of the power/downforce/weight ratio. I'm not at all a fan of DRS or P2P. Driver skill, a good setup and a tiny mistake should be enough to create an overtake opportunity. But with this car it obviously isn't enough. So if the talented drivers are out of position in qualifying they tend to be stuck, and I can't judge a driver by his race pace in a train of cars.

100% this, the car is awful for racing. 

A telling statistic for me is that of 16 races this season 14 have been won by pole, (1 was won by Saucy but he was DSQ so it's really 14/15 or 15/16) the only proper non pole winner was Saucy when Colapinto was on pole in Red Bull race 2.

 

I've not caught every race, but seen probably 10-12 so far this season and it's not just at the front even in the midfield there seems to be very little overtaking, especially considering the size of the grid you'd expect far more action.

And even in that case Colapinto won on track but got a penalty for exceeding track limits (a penalty that has been appealed, for what I've read somewhere). With a lot fewer cars on track Euroformula produces better racing with the "old school" F3-type of car they use.

So if the talented drivers are out of position in qualifying they tend to be stuck, and I can't judge a driver by his race pace in a train of cars.

 

Exactly you nailed it. The current F. Regional car is absolutely terrible for racing (we also saw that in F. Renault Eurocup last year which used the same car, in  F. Regional last year there was a small field but more passing but there was more passing there because there was a bigger talent gap between the drivers!)

It's virtually impossible to pass in these F. Regional cars. And it's for sure caused by the power - downforce (and weight) ratio. The F4 & F3 cars have got a better ratio + F3 has DRS. A FIA F3 car has 350hp, a F. Regional car 270hp and a Formula 4 minimum 160hp and maximum 180hp depending on the championship. The F. Regional car has way too much downforce for too little power and this means driver have huge problems with dirty air & turbulence when following another car.
So if you qualify on pole and get a good start the race is already as good as won because overtaking is almost impossible. And this is a pretty big advantage for drivers experienced with the category hence why Saucy is dominating. If you have more experience in this class then you are also more likely to find a good qualy setup.
And on the drivers: most people just start looking at a driver when he gets in F. Regional or F.3 or they just look at championship standings but that really doesn't give a clear picture. I also follow karting  and watch all the WSK & European championship races so I follow these drivers already since they enter Mini 60 (that's when they are 10 or 11 years old) so by the time they are in F. Regional or F3 I already know them for ages and have seen them in so many races. And then you hear people saying 'oh those drivers in that class are rubbish' but they haven't or have hardly seen those drivers in races and karting is by far the best category to recognise raw talent and potential so if you've missed that you basically missed out on 5-6 years of their development, they have already a long history of racing behind them when they step in to a single seater for the first time. 
That's why I can say with confidence that there is a very talented generation (of whom Gabriele Mini is the best, most talented driver in that field) in F. Regional which is more talented as the current F3 grid if you look at the number of very talented ones. Off course Dennis Hauger (in particular when he was in Mini 60, when he was still very young aged 11-12, Hauger won a lot of titles) was also a star in karting and so was Victor Martins (who came from gymnastics and started karting internationally later, only from the Juniors, which is why I find him so impressive) but if you look at the number of drivers of Hauger's talent level in F3 well then there are more of those in F. Regional that's why I said it has a stronger field. I think it's no coiincidence that Hauger was so strong this year: few drivers of his level in F3 and off course a second season and in a top team. It will be interesting to see if the other talented Red Bull juniors in F3 can challenge for the title next year (they should really) like Hauger & Doohan did in their 2nd season.

 

Mini is still only 16 now and still extremely young but I've seen him race since he was 10-11 years old and I'm very confident he is a supertalent and also more talented as any other driver now in F3 (I also rate Martins very highly though) and I think also better as any current F2 driver in terms of potential.

So is Andrea Kimi Antonelli who will do his first full Italian F4 campaign next year. Something to look out for. Time will tell if I'm seeing it right but I'm pretty confident about them. What I found so impressive in karting (it's harder to see when they drive in cars) is that Mini & Kimi Antonelli used very little corrections on their steering wheel. They are / were so incredible smooth, and then you see some other drivers from whom the backside of their kart sometimes drifts out with oversteer or who were doing much more corrections on their steering wheel and then you know: they aren't as good and composed as the other 2 I mentioned and then you know they can go very far, up until F1.

 

Ugo Ugochukwu also has that amazing smoothness: he is never fighting with his kart and has to make few corrections on his steering wheel. He reminds me so much of Lewis Hamilton at that age. Mini reminds me of Alain Prost actually: always smooth and clean driving.

I really want Ugochukwu in F1 just for his fantastic name.

To be honest, I have to admit that I also have supported some drivers in the past jut because they had a fantastic name  :cool: Or a funny name like Betrand Baguette :) . Ugochukwu has already been picked up by McLaren but he actually was already in the Sauber Karting team before that, McLaren somehow managed to get him out of that Sauber deal.

I also sometimes tend to support drivers who are from a country that never had an F1 driver. Like Bulgaria for example: they have an immensely talented karter right now with Nikola Tsolov.

 

Tsolov drives for Fernando Alonso's team DKP Racing with a Fernando Alonso badged Kart Republic chassis. DPK is not one of the big top teams like Kart Republic or Tony Kart and Tsolov is always considerably faster as his team mates Lukas Malek (Svk) or Ivan Domingues (Por).
Tsolov is having an exceptional year this season, his first in OK (14+ class), with 4th overall in the FIA European championship (and he could have been higher, he had some bad luck) after Antonelli, Camara & Lindblad. A 4th overall in the WSK Euro series Lindblad, Ugochukwu & Kubica protégé Tymoteusz Kucharchyk and an 8th overall in the WSK Super Master series behind Camara, Antonelli, Lindblad, Taponen, Severiukhin, Kucharchyk & Turney.

But the most amazing thing I saw Tsolov do this year was a race where he started on the back of the grid  in the final, 34th I believe, and he set fastest after fastest lap and cut through the field like butter finishing 4th just 2 seconds behind Ugochukwu. It was possibly the most impressive drive I saw any driver do this year in OK. Tsolov for sure is one of the big favourites to win the FIA World title later this month in Spain.

 

On another note: it seem like Formula Regional has finally realised that there is a serious problem with overtaking in this class. Out of 16 races so far this year the poleman won on each occasion and overtaking is virtually impossible. So they are evaluationg a push to pass system now:

Nice to see a classic (to me) European F3 team getting on the grid, now we just need Motopark, Mücke and Fortec.

 

Not to slag them off, but the GP3 teams are completely uninteresting to me and I always disliked the series.

I know what you mean, somehow I could never get actually interested in GP3 even though I loved GP2.

Yeah, I never had the slightest interest in GP3.  i saw them in practice at Silverstone one year and they were making a dreadful farting sort of noise.  I even wondered if they were using motorcycle engines or something.   A series invented to further Bernie's plan for world domination.

will all take part in the FIA F3 post-season test at Magny-Cours next month. (I wonder if the top finishers will get a similar opportunity as well)
