Jazeman secures two podium finishes on opening weekend

Malaysia’s Jazeman Jaafar enjoyed a superb start to his second season in the British F3 championships with two podium finishes in the opening weekend at the Monza circuit in Italy.
He was second in the first race followed by fifth and third-place finishes in the next two races. The strong performances put him in second place in the drivers’ championship standings on 33 points.
All the three races were won by Jazeman’s team-mates at Carlin. Brazilian Felipe Nasr won the first and third races while Briton Rupert Svendsen-Cook was the winner in the second.

Jazeman, who is the only Malaysian to win the Formula BMW Asia series, is pleased with his efforts on the track that is home to the Italian F1 Grand Prix. “It’s been an excellent start to the season for me. "We had a very strong weekend and were solid right from the start,” he said. “Carlin did a great job with the set-up work. “We this excellent team behind me, we produced a string of good results.
“Of course I want to win but consistent strong points finishes are key.
“I had to be patient and I didn’t want to take too many risks and jeopardise this in only the first event. I managed to reap the rewards and just can’t wait for Round 2 at Oulton Park this weekend.”
