A season full of records for Oliver Bearman. Also in the third race of Monza the 2021 Italian Champion puts his signature and wins the second hat-trick of the season after Vallelunga.
The eleventh victory in the championship certifies, once again, the supremacy of the British and of the whole Van Amersfoort Racing team which also boasts the team title and the one reserved for rookies with Nikita Bedrin who, despite a complicated weekend, takes advantage of the Laursen’s mistake in race 3 and he is Champion among the rookies.
On the podium of the last race of the season, last also for the Tatuus F4 T014, go up Kirill Smal and Andrea Kimi Antonelli who already lays the foundations for next season, climbing three times on the podium in Monza.
Fourth place for Lorenzo Patrese, second among the rookies behind Antonelli and good at keeping Tim Tramnitz at bay, fifth under the checkered flag.
The chronicle of Race 3
In race 3 Leonardo Bizzotto remains stationary on the grid, while Leonardo Fornaroli does not start due to a wrist problem after the gravel exit in race 2. Patrese sprints well in front of Antonelli, while Bearman loses a couple of positions.
Patrese makes a mistake in Parabolica and loses the lead with Bearman taking the lead in front of Smal, Antonelli and Patrese forced to keep Tim Tramnitz and Conrad Laursen at bay. Erick Zuniga remains on the curb of the Canal and forces the safety car to enter the track.
Under the safety car regime, Sebastian Montoya exaggerates in keeping the tires warm and ends up in a spin crashing into the guardrail of the Biassono curve. At the restart Bearman sets the pace slowing down a lot before reaching Kirill Smal and Lorenzo Patrese who, however, is passed by Antonelli.
A contact between Nikita Bedrin and Piotr Wisnicki causes the Russian of Van Amersfoort to lose ground who, already in difficulty on the fast track in Brianza, says goodbye to the dreams of conquering the rookie title which is firmly in the hands of Conrad Laursen.
The safety car was once again on track due to debris on the track after the explosion of Francesco Simonazzi’s left rear. In the pits also Bence Valint, while Smair Ben turns to the Parabolica. At the restart Bearman once again reduces his speed a lot before stretching again.
But the twist for the rookie title comes with the mistake of Conrad Laursen who loses positions and gets out of the points giving the victory to the Russian of Van Amersfoort who completes the hat-trick with Bearman’s overall victory, team victory and triumph among the rookies.
