Actually, Pourchaire wanted to make everything clear already at the last race weekend in Hockenheim. But for the first time this season, the young Frenchman nerves: Instead of celebrating the premature championship party, Pourchaire took only eight points at the Formula 1 track in Hockenheim. “It was a very bad weekend, in which not much together,” says the Frenchman in retrospect. But Pourchaire still has everything in hand – and the view goes forward to the next match point: “We want to use the second chance and secure the title in the final.”

Of course, his pursuer trio has something against it – and above all Dennis Hauger has proved that he can be expected in the final sprint. In Hockenheim he wrote with three race wins ADAC Formula 4 history. But Hauger himself knows how fast the paper can turn in the high-speed school of the ADAC.

There the Kerpener team of the two bosses Ralf Schumacher and Gerhard Ungar points) on the account. But Van Amersfoort Racing made up a lot of ground in Hockenheim in the last race and follows with 423 points in second place.

All three titles were cleared by US Racing CHRS last year. At that time Lirim Zendeli became champion, David Schumacher won the rookie title and the team championship went to the Kerpener. If US Racing CHRS repeat this feat also 2015, that would be a novelty in the ADAC Formula 4.
