County Derry teenager Fionn McLaughlin won an incident-packed final British Formula 4 race of the weekend at Zandvoort to open up his points lead.

The Red Bull Junior driver claimed pole position and won the final race of the weekend in the Netherlands.

The 17-year-old controlled the final race of the weekend despite a number of stoppages and interruptions for crashes behind and he took the chequered flag for his third victory of the season.

The Magherafelt driver also finished second in the opening race behind title, rival Martin Molnar, and was seventh in the reverse grid race.

He now leads Hungarian driver Molnar, who crashed out of the third race, by 28.5 points in the championship and also holds a commanding lead in the rookie standings.

The next round of the season takes place at Knockhill in Scotland from August 16-17.
