Joey Mawson has extended his ADAC German Formula 4 Championship lead after recording his sixth win of the season at the Red Bull Ring.
The rising Australian star began the weekend with an impressive drive to fourth having started from 11th on the grid.
Mawson secured pole position in qualifying but a 10 place grid penalty carried over from a clash with a rival at the previous round saw him demoted to 11th position.
The second heat saw the Sydney racer claim a comfortable win over Mike-David Ortmann and Nicklas Nielsen.
Mawson finished third in the final race behind Simo Laaksonen and title rival Mick Schumacher, who endured a difficult weekend following a lacklustre run in qualifying.
The young Aussie has now opened up a 46 point lead over Schumacher in the title race.
“Points wise it was really good with a win in Race Two and also a podium in the final race,” said Mawson.
“Mick struck a bit of trouble in qualifying and I was able to make the most of the opportunity and extend the lead in the championship.
“We had a strong car all weekend, again the Van Amersfoort guys did a fantastic job to give me the best possible chance of a great result.
“It is very pleasing to be able to reward them with a couple of podiums.”
The championship moves to Germany’s Nurburgring from August 5-7.
