RACE RE-CAP
- Pascal Wehrlein fought back from a first corner collision to win second race in a row as Edoardo Mortara crashes out of the lead in Hong Kong.
- Mahindra Racing driver overtakes Maximilian Guenther in the standings as the German fails to score points for the first time in four races.
- Lucas Mueller hunts down Joshua Rogers to take victory in Hong Kong and close the gap to Kevin Siggy at the top of the Challenge Grid standings.
FAST FACTS
- Starter for 10; James Calado jumped 10 places on the opening lap, managing to avoid the first corner pile up and emerging in second position after originally starting in 12th.
- Four in four; Lucas Mueller made it four different winners in the first four races in the Challenge Grid with a late move to deny Joshua Rogers from another victory in Hong Kong.
- Lightning does strike twice; Edoardo Mortara lost the lead again in Hong Kong, but this time online, after spinning out at the front of the field in the second race of season four.
“Today was a bit special because of the wet conditions in qualifying. We did not know about that and it was unexpected for everyone. The race was a bit chaotic at the beginning and my car was actually a bit damaged. The steering was going to the left, but I was fast in dry conditions as well and brought it home.” Pascall Wehrlein, Mahindra Motorsports.
