Pinnacle Motorsport set for F3 Asia title showdown in Yas Marina
Pinnacle Motorsport has had a strong season so far in the F3 Asian Championship Certified by FIA. The Motorsport Ireland-licensed team has won half of the races it started in 2021. This puts them in the Driver's Championship lead heading into the season ender this weekend at the Yas Marina Circuit where they're aiming to seal the title.
Pierre-Louis Chovet holds onto a 32 point lead in the championship thanks to his dominant performance all season. The Frenchman has scored more wins than any driver on the grid with a total of six race victories to his name. He plans to add to that tally with three races to go and claim the Driver's Championship in the process.
Alessio Deledda, on the other hand, is also a strong contender for the team having finished in the points twice. The Italian will be vital in adding to Pinnacle Motorsport's tally and secure its position in the Team's Championship.
Meanwhile, Alexandre Bardinon has shown good progress this year. The 18-year-old is in his third season racing single seaters and quickly proved that he has the pace to fight for Top 10 positions.
The 2021 season ender of the F3 Asian Championship Certified by FIA will take place from the 19th to 20th of February at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. Qualifying and Race 1 is scheduled on Friday followed by Race 2 and Race 3 on Saturday.
John O'Hara, Team Director: “We’re really pleased how well the 2021 season has gone for Pinnacle Motorsport so far. We were fighting at the front from the very first race in January and we're now heading to the finale with the championship lead just a month later. Everyone in the team is motivated to finish the job this weekend. Our focus will be to claim a few more race wins and end the year with the driver's title.”
