Harald Schlegelmilch is the winner of the 14th season round of the Formula 3 Euro Series at the 3.629 kilometees long Nürburgring. Romain Grosjean and Sébastien Buemi occupied second and third place respectively. This allowed Grosjean to extend his lead in the championship standings to six points. Swiss driver Buemi remains runner-up in the battle for the title. Maximilian Götz was the best-placed driver with a Volkswagen-engine at the Nürburgring in ninth place.
For 19-year old Latvian Harald Schlegelmilch and his Austrian team HS Technik, it was the maiden victory in the Formula 3 Euro Series. Driver and team only joined the world's toughest junior racing series this year. Throughout the race, the Latvian had to hold off fierce attacks by Grosjean. Schlegelmilch defended his line and thus, the points' leader failed to find a way past.
Harald Schlegelmilch said about his victory: "I am overjoyed with my maiden victory in the Formula 3 Euro Series. The race was great fun, but it was very hard as well. Keeping the two title candidates Romain Grosjean and Sébastien Buemi behind me throughout the race was very difficult. It is really cool that I have made it!"
