Frederic is Champion!

Celebrations for an all French winners podium!
A tough 45 minute final in Monaco with battles galore but the man who has been out in front for most of the last two days remains there. The driver who looked most likely to challenge him, Leo Arnold finished in 2nd place after fighting valiantly against car problems, "My shocks were broken from the first lap," he says "So my car was very hard to drive and pulled to the side when I hit the break" The man who actually put up the most convincing bid to take the win from Frederic was Swiss driver Traugott Schar, he spent a long time in the lead, though finished 4th after a tyre change which took over a minute and dashed his chances of the podium. 3rd place went to Quentin Leroux, who also battled against technical problems from the start, he said, "My engine was wrong at the start, but we were able to fix it in a pitstop, but then I had problems with 2nd gear so had to run the last 10 minutes in 1st."
