Bianchi wins first race in Holland

Jules Bianchi (ART Grand Prix) is the winner of the seventh season round of the Formula 3 Euro Series. At the 4.307 kilometres long circuit at Zandvoort, the Frenchman won from Valtteri Bottas (ART Grand Prix) and Christian Vietoris (Mücke Motorsport).

 With his third win of the season, Bianchi extends his margin as the leader in the points' standings of the Formula 3 Euro Series to 14 points from second-placed Vietoris. Jean Karl Vernay (Signature), who finished fourth at the North Sea coast in The Netherlands, remains third in the championship.

The race started with a safety car intervention after five drivers had already retired on the opening lap after collisions: Nick Tandy (Kolles & Heinz Union), Tiago Geronimi (Signature), Stefano Coletti (Prema Powerteam), Mika Mäki (Signature) and Andrea Caldarelli (SG Formula). Just before the end of the race, Christopher Zanella spun and caused the second safety car intervention.

Bianchi also defended his leading position after the two restarts and drove a safe victory home. For his engine supplier Mercedes-Benz, it was the 100th race win in the Formula 3 Euro Series.
