One day, two podium finishes: the F.Renault 3.5 Saturday in Paul Ricard proved to be quite special for Draco Racing, as the Italian team managed to collect two trophies. The first one was awarded to André Negrao in the morning, as the Brazilian talent was promoted to 3rd place in Race 1 after Kevin Magnussen was excluded due to a technical infringment on his car.
The second one was clinched in the afternoon by Nico Muller, who drove an amazing race to take the flag in P2. Muller's day started on a high with a top-notch performance in Qualifying that saw him clock the third quickest time, but the race was even better. Nico's start was great and allowed him to...
