Sam Bird won the second Formula Renault 3.5 race at Silverstone after a late race puncture for Marco Sorensen. The day before the British driver was one of many caught out by a sudden downpour, ending his race in the early laps.

ISR driver Sam Bird is relishing the prospect of competing in front of his home crowd this weekend in the seventh round of the Formula Renault 3.5 championship at Silverstone.

The events of race one did not hinder the pace of Kevin Magnussen, who was undeterred in the wet conditions and made it two pole positions out of two in Spa.

A Dane was expected to win the first Formula Renault 3.5 race at Spa but not many would have anticipated the manner in which Marco Sorensen took his first victory in the season.

Sam Bird and Richie Stanaway were quickest in Friday’s free practice sessions at Spa.

Richie Stanaway has been ruled out for several weeks after suffering injury in race two of the Formula Renault 3.5 event at Spa.
