Also in that 11 point bracket are fifth and sixth places, James Rossiter and Andy Soucek. Rossiter, who continues to keep his points tally ticking over with impressive consistency, remains the leading Brit in the series, while Andy Soucek became the first series rookie to claim a win this year following a light-to-flag win in Turkey, results that have positioned them as a threat this season.
Colin Fleming, Davide Valsecchi, Christian Montanari and Alx Danielsson currently round out the top ten, but only three of these drivers will see the end of the season after Fleming surprisingly called it quits, claiming his results were not what he expected, thus choosing to leave both Carlin and the
Red Bull driver programme.
Still, with Red Bull having a bevy of talent to choose from, they had little trouble finding a replacement, this time in the shape of Formula Three Euroseries front runner
Sebastian Vettel, the promising German giving his nation their second attempt at the series following Pascal Kochem’s departure after one round.
As is quickly becoming a tradition, there will also be another new face at Eurointernational following one-off appearance of Jason Tahinci in Turkey. Continuing to keep their second seat alongside Enrico Toccacelo available to those who can bring money to the table, the latest is Carlo Iaconelli, who will also become the first Brazilian on the 2006 grid.
With three events and six races scheduled for the coming month, the next few weeks are likely to be crucial for the outcome of the 2006 World Series by Renault, but if the first five races are anything to go by, the competition could not be closer…
