Kimball tops the charts

Carlin Motorsport's Charlie Kimball became the first American in more than 10 years to win rounds of the British Formula 3 Championship. The Californian rising star, son of former F1 engineer Gordon Kimball, won both races at Thruxton on Sunday beating Marko Asmer (Hitech Racing) in both events.

"It's an amazing feeling," Kimball said. "To do what I love to do and be the best in the race is just amazing."
