Frank Lucke (Team Leader Formula 4): “I am satisfied with the basic performance of all drivers. Joshua Dürksen delivered at the Sachsenring. The season he went with no experience. The fact that he has been in both the Italian and the German Formula 4 on the road, with him the progress is most clearly seen. He has it and has proved it in the third race – undoubtedly Joshua warped the driver of the race. We wished him usahin and I'm glad that we finally got him there too. As he drove off as a rookie to the experienced riders, warfare was already impressive. Clarified warfare also his re-open. Too bad that in the end it was not enough to win. Nico Göhler is very talented like Joshua. They have learned and constantly evolved. Nico has impressed us especially with his learning curve over the season. He was only in the German Formula 4 on the way, so has collected much fewer miles than many of his competitors. Therefore, we are satisfied with his performance throughout the season. Kristian Thaqi showed his ability in the third race. With the experience advantage of the other pilots, he had a considerable disadvantage, but has increased from session to session. He has never been on the Hockenheimring and the Sachsenring before. That's why ten in the last race warfare was a really great thing, especially as he was able to compete with the budge of the competition. All in all, we had a great time with all our pilots who have been fighting for positions this year. We are always happy when our team philosophy of promoting young talents and giving them proper training as racers is bearing fruit. Accordingly, we look back with satisfaction on the season in the ADAC Formula 4. ”
