Ninovic keeps his form rolling

After his impressive two-win weekend at Snetterton, young Aussie Alex Ninovic has completed a podium sweep at the Thruxton Circuit in Round 4 of the British F4 Championship to cement second place in the championship pointscore.

The Rodin Motorsport driver banked plenty of valuable points to take the third step back-to-back in Races 1 and 2, before going one better in the finale, helping him maintain a 30-point deficit to British youngster Deagen Fairclough.

After a disappointing qualifying had Ninovic outside the top-10 for Races 1 and 3, he wasted little time in pursuit of a podium in the opener, taking six spots on the first lap to eventually earn third, whilst he came from sixth in the reverse grid Race 2 to repeat his efforts.

Race 3 then saw him storm the podium from outside the top-10 again, executing a pass at the final chicane to secure second by just 0.357s.

The next round will see the Rodin driver head to Silverstone GP circuit on June 15-16.

Elsewhere in Europe, there were three more podiums gained for our young talent.

In Portugal, both Griffin Peebles and Noah Lisle took third places in Race 2 in the Spanish F4 and EUROCUP-3 respectively, their best finishes for the season.

The week prior, Jack Beeton took his first Italian F4 podium with a second in Race 3 at Imola to sit fifth in the championship.
