https://www.instagram.com/p/CFYJEtflBwa It was painful but a some kind of relief for Jak Crawford in the ADAC German F4 Championship at Hockenheim. The Houston native and Red Bull driver managed to get 2 2nd place podiums in race 1 and 3 with a P8 in race 2. Joshua Durksen went flag-to-flag for his 2nd win this season holding off a late rally from Crawford and fellow Red Bull driver Jonny Edgar for their podium finishes. Elias Seppanen and Francesco Pizzi rounded up the top 5. Race 2 was a poor moment for Crawford who had to start 10th. But managed to get a chance for a reverse-pole start after finishing 8th. Oliver Bearman took race 2 honors with Tim Trammitz and Gabriele Mini with podium honors. Edgar was denied a podium with a P5 from Victor Brenier. Race 3 was a consolation of an ugly 2nd place podium. Crawford's chance for a German F4 win was dashed by tire degredation, resulting Victor Brenier taking the race 3 win after the race was red-flagged. Crawford led most of the race for 23 minutes until his rubber just thinned out that enabled Brenier to pass him. It was the next lap that ended the race when Durksen stomped the brakes very hard causing a collision with Crawford that cause a red flag ending the race. But due to a red flag finish, Crawford was awarded the 2nd place podium with Seppanen taking P3 honors. Mini and Durksen rounded up the top 5. Series points leader Edgar's Sunday came to a very premature end after colliding with Pizzi in the early stages of Race 3 that resulted a puncture and a bent suspension unable to score points. Sebastian Montoya's weekend could only managed 2 finishes. A P13 in race 1 and a P9 in race 3. His Race 2 ended right by the barriers after contact with Josef Knopp. The title fight now is closing with Edgar holding a 12-point lead over Seppanen (136-124). Crawford manages to get closer with 102. Bernier and Trammitz are tied for 4th with 91. Montoya is currently 15th with 10 points as the German F4 series heads to the Nurburgring this weekend. And Crawford will be there right after he was taken to a hospital in Mannheim where his X-Rays were shown negative. www.adac-motorsport.de/adac-formel-4/ukSO SUPA TEX......HOW 'BOUT THAT ROCKET!!!!

https://www.instagram.com/p/CFm3FZ_JKDj No matter how the licking he took, he kept on ticking. Houston's Jak Crawford had a rain that was a friend and foe. Crawford just scored his 1st ADAC German Formula 4 win in race 1 at the Nurburgring this past weekend, plus 2 top 5s. Crawford earned a pole for race 1 where the skies were a bit gray as he took the wholeshot right on the bat taking the lead with teammate Jonny Edgar falling 3 spots to 5th. Crawford never trailed after words until Francesco Pizzi began to close in. But had to deal with Joshua Durksen and Edgar just past halfway. Durksen and Edgar caught up with Pizzi just as the rain began to appear. With less than 4 minutes in the race, the race ended in a safety car when Russian drivers Artem Lobanenko rubbed into the left rear of fellow Russian driver Kiril Smal slicing his tire. He was unable to take it in causing the safety car thus Crawford earned his 1st win in the series - his 2nd of the year going along with the Italian F4 win at the Red Bull Ring. Durksen came a close 2nd with Edgar completing the podium. tim Trammitz and Pizzi rounded up the top 5. Race 2 only got him into a P4 finish. And had to learn of how to drive the wet with a P10 start. Crawford continued to zig-zag positions to earn his P4. Edgar earned the Race 2 win, with Elias Seppanen managing to finish 2nd. Oliver Bearman took the final podium spot. Along with Crawdord, Tramnitz complete the top 5. And Race 3 was a very wet one with the start during safety car presence and ends with a safety car. And at the start it was Russian driver Vlad Lomko running away with the Race 3 win followed by Tramnitz and Crawford completing the podium after holding Bearman for a close 4th. Seppanen complete the top 5 with Edgar finished 6th. After 4 events, Crawford slightly sneaks up to 2nd place behind fellow teammate Edgar who holds a 184-154 advantage with Seppanen dropping just 2 points with 152. Tramnitz and Durksen complete the top 5 with another helping at the Reb Bull Ring in the middle of October in the German F4 series. But he and other German F4 drivers will go south to Mugello for the Italian F4 series this weekend. www.adac-motorsport.de/adac-formel-4/ukwww.redbull.com/int-en/juniorteam/crawford-and-edgar-win-in-adac-f4-at-the-n%C3%BCrburgringBaltimore's Cameron Das weekend was not so fortunate. In the Euroformula Open round at Monza, Das could only managed 2 P5 finishes in races 1 and 2 and a P6 in race 3. His chances for podiums were also based on tire degredation. Yifei Ye scored his race 1 win with Lukas Dunner and Nikolas Krutten took podium honors. Manuel Maldonado was ahead of Das for 4th in race 1. But his teammate Lukas Dunner ended his weekend scoring 2 wins. Dunner took the top honors with Ye and Krutten sharing the podium in race 2 as is in race 3. Zane Maloney and Das completed the top 5 in race 2. And Andreas Estner and Ayrton Simmons were 4th and 5th in race 3 ahead of Das. After 4 rounds, Ye continues with a huge lead of 109 over Dunner (219-110). Estner remains steady in 3rd with 97 with Krutten 10 points behind in 4th. Maldonado stays steady in 5th. Das breaks into the top 10 in 10th with 34, as the Euro Formula Open will remain in Italy heading to Mugello this weekend. www.euroformulaopen.net |

A soaked weekend is what Kaylen Frederick did not need. But it paid dividends with possible maximum points in the British F3 round at Snetterton on a very damped track. The Potomac, Md. native managed to score a race 1 win and 2 2nd place podiums as series leader Kush Maini found puddles this past weekend.

It was quite a blast for Jak Crawford testing out a Formula 3 car this week. The Houston native flew to Barcelona to test for HitechGP and during the 2 days, Crawford posted very decent best times for a P15 standing in day 1 in the morning and was faster in day 2 morning session posting a P13. It was a great change of atmosphere and the feeling of a new and advanced car. And even outperformed his teammate Jonny Edgar. Now it is off to the Red Bull Ring next Sunday. https://www.instagram.com/p/CF9o6GnFf5b Day 1 results: Day 2 results: Since Craword was the only US representative in the FIA F3 testing, this means that Logan Sargeant will head up to Formula 2. www.fiaformula3.com |

 It was a small bit of joy at the Red Bull Ring this past weekend in the ADAC F4 championship. Houston's Jak Crawford has become the 1st driver in the series that no one has done before - A podium cycle: Jak managed to score his 2nd series win in race 3 after starting 7th based on a 2nd place finish in race 2. He also scored a 3rd place in race 1. But it was his teammate Jonny Edgar's weekend who scored 2 wins in races 1 and 2. Edgar finished ahead of Victor Bernier and Crawford in race 1. Then a repeat in a 1-2 for the Red Bull drivers with Joshua Durksen taking the 3rd place podium. Race 2 was disappointment for Crawford who was late on the brakes in the early point of the race losing valuable rubber. But Crawford showed his passing skills in race 3. Edgar was never a threat after finishing 7th. Elias Seppanen and Bernier concluded the Race 3 podium. Crawford only managed a little scratch on Edgar's points lead (240-212). Seppanen has a distant 3rd over Tim Tramnitz with Bernier completing the top 5. The German F4 series will now head back to the Lausitzring at the end of the month after the series organizers had to cancel the Zandvoort event due to the COVID-19. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGhgYp6F-ud www.adac-motorsport.de/adac-formel-4/uk It was not a bad weekend for Cameron Das who is competing in the Euro Formula Open Series at Spa. The Baltimore native got special assists to score a top 5 trifecta. But just short of podium finishes. The 1st 5th place finish was courtesy of a collision of Alexander Bardinon and Zane Maloney in the last lap at the Bus Stop Chicane where he was running 7th. Yifei Ye was the winner in race 1 with Lukas Dunner taking 2nd. Ido Cohen nabbed the final podium spot with Andreas Estner edging Das for 4th. Debutant and Seattle-based Dane Benjamin Pedersen finished 8th. Das was a victim of a spin in the race that cause a safety car. That gave him the advantage to take fresh rubber resulting his 5th place finish. Race 2 was different after the 2 points leaders would get involved at the Kemmel Straight causing for Ye and Dunner to rub each other with Ye spinning at the straight. But Dunner suffered the worst damaged with a blown tire enabling another debutant Louis Foster to take the win. Cohen takes the runner-up spot with Dutch driver Glen Van Berlo finishing 3rd. Das arrives in 4th with Pedersen scoring his 1st top 5 in the series with a 5th. Dunner was the victor in race 3 with Manuel Maldonado finishing a distant 2nd with Ye a solid 3rd. Das had to make a monster comeback after an early detour in the race for a 4th place finish. Niklas Krutten seals the final top 5 spot. Pedersen's race ended in turn 1 after colliding with teammate Louis Foster at the La Source hairpin. Ye continues to dominate over Dunner with an 84 point advantage (286-202). Estner is a very distant 3rd with Krutten and Cohen knocking on his doors. Das moves up to 8th. Pedersen scores places him in P15 with Barcelona as their next destination. www.euroformulaopen.net  PINWHEEL!!! WT:OBX CHAMPIONS!!! |

There could be a history in the making for Kaylen Frederick in the British F3 championship. The Potomac, MD. native got what he came for at the Donington Park national track with 2 poles that were converted into 2 wins in races 1 and 3 and a 7th in race 2. The 1st race that was scheduled for Saturday was rained out after a test car felt it was unsafe to compete in which a decision to make a triple-header. But the skies were cloudy and a cold track where some of the contenders opted for slicks. And series leader Kush Maini had to regret hoping for a dry track. But it was damped and puddled. In race 1, Frederick came up pounding at the start never looking back over Ulysses De Pauw keeping him 1.2 seconds for the win with Oliver Clarke taking the final podium spot. Sasakorn Chaimongkol and Roberto Faria completed the top 5. Seattle-based driver Benjamin Pedersen came to the line in a distant 6th. And Laguna Hills, Calif. native Reece Ushijima scoring a P10. Maini's error placed him in P9. In Race 2, it was again reverse grid blues for Frederick where he could only go as far as 7th. Nazim Azman won the reverse-grid race placing Pedersen 2.7 seconds for 2nd with De Pauw rounding up the podium. Maini and Chaimongkol rounded the top 5. Ushijima finished P13. Race 3 was flawless for Frederick taking advantage of the moistened track routing the field with a 15-second margin over Chaimongkol with Maini taking an advantage for the final podium spot after Oliver Clarke lost his engine at the Schwantz curve. Louis Foster took his car to a P4 finish with Pedersen rounding the top 5. Ushijima went of on the chicane ending his race in lap 6. And after 7 events, Frederick now holds a 13-point advantage over Maini (420-407) with De Pauw getting ready to play spoiler in 3rd (378). Foster (353) and Azman (331) remain mathematically in the title race. Pedersen goes up 4 spots to 8th while Ushijima remains solid in P11. 2 weeks will be the decider with Frederick, Maini and De Pauw for the title to be settled at Silverstone. www.britishf3.com |

Caught in a cross-fire. It was a theme for Jak Crawford's performance during wet conditions In the ADAC German Formula 4 championship at the Lauzitzring. Looking to close or leapfrog his teammate Jonny Edgar went down south in Race 3. In race 1, downpour rain conditions became a factor for the Houston native where the track was heavily wet just like qualifying. But Jak finished 8th behind fellow teammate and Red Bull classmate Jonny Edgar who finished 7th. Vlad Lomko took the race 1 win over Victor Bernier and Elias Seppanen who was looking to close in on Crawford for 2nd place in the standings. Joshua Durksen and Oliver Bearman capped off the top 5. Race 2 saw Crawford starting in the front row alongside polesitter Kirill Smal. It did not take long for Crawford to overtake Smal at the half-way mark while Edgar had to start from the back only to finish 7th for his efforts. Tim Tramnitz and Smal completed the podium with Durksen and Bernier finishing in the top 5 while Seppanen saw his race end with a collision with Smal. But race 3 was a race to forget. Edgar to a detour in wet in which almost collided on the tire barrier. But Crawford was not that lucky. With only 9 minutes to go in the race with Bernier leading, Smal and Bearman collided in turn 3, damaging Bearman's front left suspension resulting to collect Crawford on the next turn sending him into the gravel ending his race. Bernier was the winner of race 3 with Tramnitz and Smal taking the final podium spots. Edgar ends his race in 4th with Roee Meyuhas completing the top 5. Edgar's lead only took a scratch as Crawford trails now by 23 points (264-241) with Seppanen remaining further back with 217. Tramnitz (197) and Bernier (193) still mathematically in contention going into the series' season finale at Oschersleben. www.redbull.com/int-en/juniorteam/crawford-wins-edgar-holds-title-lead-in-tough-lausitzring-adac-f4Cameron Das weekend ended with a nice positive note. The Baltimore native, scored 2 top 5 finishes with his 2 podiums of the season in the Euro Formula Open series season finale at Barcelona- a 2nd in Race 2, and a 3rd in Race 3.

 We wonder how will "Super Tex" is going to chew a rock-hard candy after the performance of "JetPak" Jak Crawford who could not advance 1 position in the ADAC German Formula 4 championship only to lose his chances by 1 position and 2 points finishing 2nd in the championship series champion and teammate Jonny Edgar. The Houston native saw a glimmer of hope after taking 2 wins at Oschersleben when he battled his teammate and fellow Red Bull teammate Edgar. But only to come up short. In race 1. Edgar began his Saturday from pole with Crawford on the outside. The battle aged on with less than 4 minutes to go when Crawford stayed on the outside lane only to see Edgar misjudging his speed causing his right-rear tire shred into Crawford front wing splitting it before heading to the Triple Curve and eventually sending Edgar to the pits. But Crawford was saved when time expired heading into the Zeppelin turn taking the checkered and holding off a charging Joshua Durksen with Elias Seppanen taking the final podium spot. Victor Bernier and Tim Tramnitz rounded the top 5. Edgar's puncture left him in P12 and scoreless, enabling Crawford to hold a 2-point lead going into Sunday's double header. On Sunday, it was Crawford with the pole with Edgar beside him. At the start, Crawford went on flag to flag and was saved again by the clock at the final turn holding off Edgar for his 2nd win of the weekend. Oliver Bearman rounded up the podium with Vlad Lomko scoring a P4. Seppanen ended in 5th eliminating him from the series title. Race 3 became the big test for Crawford. It was all or nothing. And what he had to do is attempt to be in Edgar's tail to win. But at the start, Edgar got the big jump that sent Edgar into 4th with Crawford on his tail in 7th while battling Bearman and Durksen who were putting distance on Crawford. A safety car came in when Israeli driver Roee Mehuyas suffered a right-rear broken suspension enabling all cars to close in. But at the restart, Tramnitz continued to lead and Edgar managing to pass Seppanen for 2nd. It was a position that he needed. Midway thru the race, Bearman went wide while battling with Durksen, only to go wide that enabled Crawford to jump into 6th. But Edgar played it cleanly to take 2nd place thus taking the ADAC Formula 4 title by 2 points over Crawford (300-298). But as team, Van Amersfoort became team champions. Seppanen closes the season in 3rd, with Tramnitz finishing P4 and Bernier rounded up the top 5. This is Crawford's 2nd runner-up finish in a series. He also finished 2nd in the 2019 NACAM F4. AJ: If you are hearing about this, hold a BBQ party at your ranch in JetPak's honor. Houston is proud of him now. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHV7LbYpeZZ There are 2 more rounds in the Italian Formula 4 championship so he will be at Italy. www.adac-motorsport.de/adac-formel-4/uk |

https://www.instagram.com/p/CHV27UClWAO This is the one that will relieve all the frustrations of Logan Sargeant and Jak Crawford coming short on their title runs. And we all love Dark Horses, underdogs, and unknowns. Talk about saving the best for last. And a USA trifecta. This was it for Kaylen Frederick. All or nothing. And it was all at Silverstone. The Potomac, Maryland native scored 2 wins in races 1 and 3 enroute to become the 1st US driver to win the prestigious British Formula 3 series championship. Danish-born and Seattle-based Benjamin Pedersen scored his maiden win in the series in race 2 completing a USA hat-trick. In race 1, Frederick took a big jump into the lead with series returnee Ayton Simmons on his mirror with 2nd-place title contender Kush Maini in 3rd. By lap 6, Frederick managed to pull way ahead of Simmons by 6 seconds until Laguna Hills, Calif. driver Reece Ushijima collided with another series contender Ulysse De Pauw. De Pauw suffered a broken suspension in the process. It brought the safety car eliminating him from contention. At the re-start Frederick soldiered on with a 2.6 second win over Simmons with Maini who struggled to catch-up thus finishing 3rd. Roberto Faria and Louis Foster rounded the top 5. Foster also was eliminated. Clovis, California native Carter Williams posted a P12 finish with Pedersen ending his Saturday with a P15. Ushijima with the incident, was excluded.  Race 2 is a reverse grid start with Max Marzorati and Josh Mason in the front row with Pedersen inside row 2 - with slicks. Title contenders Frederick and Maini opted for wet tires. The track was damp but would dry during the Sunday weekend. Marzorati came too slow at the start with Mason taking the wholeshot with Pedersen on his rear wing. Manaf Hijjawi took the lead over Mason in lap 2 with Pedersen. Pedersen would later take the lead at the Loop. Frederick and Maini had a bit of drama heading into Becketts and Chapel to the Hangar with Louis Foster and Jonny Wilkinson causing Frederick being pushed outside by Maini. Only to return back into the track shoving Foster and Maini into the grass causing Foster to a spin. But Frederick was bunched up by Wilkinson, Oliver Clarke and Faria with Maini closing up forcing Frederick outside the Loop before recovering to a P12 finish. Maini dropped to P17 in the process. But it was all Pedersen taking his maiden win in the series with Bart Hortsen and Nazim Azman rounding the podium. Faria and Clarke complete the top 5. Williams posted a P7 for his efforts with slicks and Ushijima finishes in P15. Race 3 was very simple. Keep it in 1 piece running and it's over. And Frederick just ran away while Maini saw his chances evaporate losing 2 spots to P4 at the start. Then lost 2 more spots by lap 8 placing him to P6. That was more than enough for Frederick to make history as he became the 1st American to win a European National series championship since Matt LaMotte of Dearborn, Michigan who won the now-defunct Swiss-based Formula Lista open-wheel championship in 2010. He also becomes the 1st US driver to win a Formula 3 event of any kind since Ross Cheever won the All-Japan F3 title in 1987. He also wins the Jack Cavill Pole award for securing 8 poles this season Faria and Simmons complete the podium positions with Clarke and Sasakorn Chaimongkol rounding the top 5. Ushijima finishes the season with an 8th place finish. Williams scores his 2nd top 10 finish with a 10th. Race 2 winner Pedersen ends his season in 15th place. Frederick leaves 2020 with a total of 9 wins, 4 2nd-place podiums, 1 top 5 and 2 top-10 finishes this season and a total of 499 points. Kush Maini finishes 2nd with 448. De Pauw ends his season with 392. Foster (388) and Azman (370) complete the top 5. Pedersen drops to 9th (299). Ushijima is P11 (244). Williams ends his season in 18th (124). Kaylen will be the best driver sought off by teams. But for the FIA Formula 3 series - he will need a larger than life budget to secure a seat. Seats like the Euro formula Open, the Regional F3 series and Indy Lights are the best possibilities. YOU DID IT KIDS!!!!

It was another great weekend for Jak Crawford even despite coming short in the ADAC German Formula 4 championship. And he proved it with great podium results. The Houston native and Red Bull development driver managed to get his 2nd win and 2 3rd-place podiums in the Italian F4 series at Imola this weekend. Race 1 was not pretty for Crawford. After scoring a pole position for race 1, he still had to linger a penalty of 2 grid spots from an incident in Mugello last month. At the start, Crawford had a strong start watching series leader Gabriele Mini in front.

I just stumbled into the You Tube via F1 Feeder Series website. And it gave me the facts of the Formula 1 development programs. Sargeant's chances to Formula 1 are getting very tougher and harder due to the fact that he is not a part of a program. This also goes to BRDC British F3 champion Kaylen Frederick. Both Sargeant, Frederick and every driver who only rely on sponsors are not part of team development program. Not unlike Jak Crawford, who is part of Red Bull.
This is a review of the profile of Logan Sargeant's part to the series.
