Renger van der Zande and Riki Christodoulou were the Cooper Tires British F3 International Series race victors at Snetterton, the Dutch driver dominating round nine after starting from pole, and the young Englishman taking his maiden British F3 win in round 10 after making an inspired start. Daniel Ricciardo was a podium visitor in both races to extend his championship lead.

Said Riki: “I knew I had to get a good start, and I managed to get ahead of Renger off the line, then two laps later I passed Walter down the start/finish line, and from there I was able to control the race.”
