A SECOND-PLACE finish last weekend was enough to give the Rookie Cup to Zane Maloney.

The 14-year-old Barbadian driver secured the F4 British Rookie Cup title and is now eyeing the overall championship.

“I’m really happy to get the Rookie Cup title done,” said Maloney.

“That was one of the targets for my first year, and now I’ve achieved that we can focus on building the overall points lead.

“I’m grateful for everything the team has done this year and proud to get a championship for Barbados, my sponsors and Kokoro Performance.

“I think we have a good chance of securing the overall title if we keep the momentum going.”

After the racing at Knockville, Fife, Scotland, last weekend, racing insiders are calling it “game on” for the overall title as the Barbadian driver’s points lead has been slashed to 15, after mechanical problems and a triple podium for main rival Sebastian Alvarez of Mexico and wins for JHR’s Carter Williams and Double R’s Louis Foster.(TT/fiaformula4.com)
