Intro:
Charles Leclerc of Monaco extended his lead in the drivers' standings after success in the Formula 3 European Championship at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, while British driver Jake Dennis won the individual event.
Script:
After a thrilling battle, Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc came out on top in the 13th race of the FIA Formula 3 European Championship season on Saturday (June 20).
Later on Saturday afternoon, race 2 kicked off at Spa in Belgium.
After 5 laps, Canadian driver Lance Stroll led the way by 500ths of a second.
The Ferrari driver started in third for Race 2 yet was then involved in a collision which scuppered his chances of victory.
Felix Rosenqvist one of those in the crash and understandably frustrated with the end to his day.
If that crash was bad, Gustavo Menzes was something else.
Fortunately the American was able to step out of his car unaided.
That left the way for Jake Dennis to celebrate his third victory of the season after Saturday's second race.
The Briton won from Santino Ferrucci and Sergio Sette Camara.
Dennis then carried on where he had left off by winning Sunday's race - the 15th race of the FIA Formula 3 European Championship season.
He finished ahead of the two rookie drivers Leclerc and George Russell (Carlin), who came second and third respectively.
Because his fiercest rival Antonio Giovinazzi only finished 15th, Leclerc again extended his lead in the drivers' standings.
