Prost leads Spanish F3 Championship.

Nicolas Prost, son of four-time Formula One World Champion Alain Prost, showed he is more than just a chip off the old block at Magny-Cours last weekend by taking the lead of the Spanish Formula 3 Championship.

Prost leads the series with thirty points after finishing the first race in France on the third step of the podium and managed fourth in the second of the weekend's races.

"I'm happy, It's been another good week-end for us," said a delighted Prost. "I got my first podium of the season yesterday, and I'm now leading the championship so thanks a lot to the team, everybody did a great job."

Meanwhile, Spanish GP2 racer Javier Villa managed to get in a few laps experience of ahead of the series' visit to the French circuit in July and managed to gain some experience of a new circuit.

Villa finished second after a mature and tactful performance in the F3 race and will be looking to his GP2 outing at the Nurburgring next week to make up for what has been a disappointing start to the series for the Spaniard.

"It's been a fun race and I felt really comfortable in the car," said the Racing Engineering driver. "I finished second today but I could have fought for the win.

"I decided to be fair only because I'm not really fighting for this championship this year. I closed a three second gap in a few laps and then stayed behind the leader."
