Essex GP3 star Alex Lynn extended his Championship lead despite another mixed weekend in Austria. He earned a lights-to-flag win in the first race at the home circuit of his Red Bull team, but a first-lap incident ruined his race in the second race - which is worth fewer points to the drivers. Lynn, driving for Carlin in the series, was in imperious form in Saturday's first race, which led to commentator Gary Anderson hailing his performance as "perfect". He began the race on pole and led for the entire race, eventually beating team-mate and countryman Emile Bernstorff by 2.764 seconds. Sunday's second race began with a reverse grid, meaning Lynn began eighth. Having failed to score in the sprint race in Barcelona last time out, Lynn will have been keen to do better. He made a good start but there was contact on the first bend which force him off and saw him drop down the standings. And although he rescued back a couple of places, he was forced to pit at the end of the first lap. That effectively ended any hopes of him scoring points, but he did repeatedly set fastest laps as he caught up with the pack, but ultimately finished 20th. It was Bernstoff who won that race, ahead of Jimmy Eriksson and Richie Stanaway. Lynn has 62 points, with Eriksson on 49 and Stanaway third on 45. The next GP3 event is in a fortnight when Lynn takes part in his home race, the British Grand Prix, at Silverstone.
