First day of the racing weekend of the Italian F4 Championship powered by Abarth in Hungary has ended, with Friday free practices. Dennis Hauger (Van Amersfoort Racing) has both best lap times of the day, respectively 1’43.488 and 1’44.005. Behind him in morning session Paul Aron (Prema Powerteam) with quite some distance of 0.332, Mikhael Belov, BhaiTech Srl (+0.362) and Gianluca Petecof, second fastest of the 4 Prema Powerteam drivers (+0.377).

Dry track and high temperature at Mogyoród already in the morning, with a persisting sun bringing air temperature to 25.6 degrees centigrade leading to an asphalt of 40.9°. Even hotter is the second session, where heat has been hitting hard, but still the Norwegian Van Amesfoort Racing driver has not slowed down still being the fastest on track. After him in free practice 2 Gianluca Petecov (1'44.116) and Paul Aron (1'44.228).

The young Van Amersfoort Racing driver has confirmed excellent lap times of the collective tests of some weeks ago on this same track, giving good expectations for the next two days.

 

In the Rookie standings Paul Aron (Prema Powerteam), brother of 2015 Italian F4 Champion Ralf Aron, is the fastest in first and second session, followed by Jonny Edgar (Jenzer Motorsport) in both sessions. Third respectively in session 1 and 2 Johua Duerkser (BWT Muecke Motorsport) and  Roman Stanek (US Racing).

Tension grows so for the qualifying session and race 1 of tomorrow. Race 1 will be live on Motorsport.tv and AutmotoTV, and also on www.acisport.it and the Facebook page of the championship (https://www.facebook.com/italianf4championship/),
