Even as the new champion in the Formula 3 Euro Series, Jules Bianchi (ART Grand Prix) keeps on winning. At the 4.574 kilometres long Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg, he beat his team-mate Valtteri Bottas (ART Grand Prix) by 7.516 seconds. Third place on the podium was taken by Jean Karl Vernay (Signature).

Pole-sitter Jules Bianchi defended first place at the start and undisputedly motored on to his ninth victory of the season. Valtteri Bottas got himself in a good position for the decision in the battle for the rookie title by finishing second. His only remaining rival Alexander Sims (Mücke Motorsport) only came sixth and scored five points less than the Finn.

Behind Sims, Marco Wittmann (Mücke Motorsport) crossed the finish line and scored his first points of the year. Dutch driver Henkie Waldschmidt (SG Formula) took the flag in eighth place, scoring the final point of the race. He will be starting from pole position tomorrow.

Jules Bianchi (ART Grand Prix): "It wasn't an easy race. My start was not so good, but I was able to take first place. Then I tried to pull a gap over the drivers behind me. Initially, I could also benefit from the battle between Valtteri and Roberto."

The first two places of its drivers Bianchi and Bottas allowed ART Grand Prix to wrap up the teams' title with one race remaining.
