Alex Dunne had to fight from the back of the grid for both races in Budapest over the weekend.

Offaly's Alex Dunne came away from Hungary empty handed after another difficult weekend in the Formula Three World Championship.

The McLaren junior driver's weekend was terminally compromised when he fell victim to a late red flag during qualifying on Friday.

Starting from the back of the grid, the Clonbullogue teenager made strong progress in both the Sprint and Feature races but finished outside the points on both occassions.

Dunne and the rest of the F3 grid return for the penultimate round of the championship in Belgium this weekend.

ART driver, and Alpine junior, Nikola Tsolov came home in first to win his first F3 feature race.

That result has left the driver's championship wide open with 32 points covering the top seven in the standings with rounds in Belgium and Italy to come.
