IT was another weekend and another job done for GP3 driver Alex Lynn as he extended his Championship lead to 31 points in Budapest.
The Dunmow racer failed to get on the podium in either race for the first time this year, but managed to finish fourth in both races at the Hungaroring.
But with his closest rival, Jimmy Eriksson, having another bad weekend, the 20-year-old Carlin star was happy with his points haul.
Lynn said: "It wasn't the strongest weekend I have had, but it was still massively important to come away with a decent points haul and get another step closer to the end of the year. It's another job and another weekend ticked off.
"We were really fast all weekend. I qualified second, just missing out on the pole position but had a bad start and dropped down to fourth. The circuit is a really difficult one to overtake.
"Starting fifth in the reverse grid race, I got a good first lap and was able to overtake a car to finish fourth again.
"In GP3 it is quite difficult to overtake and become a bit processional, so when the race settled down it was hard to gain anymore places.
"My main title rival though had another disastrous weekend so that in turn allowed me to pull one more point away in the Championship."
The GP3 series now takes a summer break, with the next race not until the weekend of August 22-24 when the action moves to Spa, Belgium.
