However, it soon became apparent that a lack of performance would limit the M\u00fccke Motorsport charge, forcing Rosenqvist (and new team-mate Lucas Auer) to start all three races from the middle of the 26-car field. Rosenqvist \u2013 a winner at the British Grand Prix venue 12 months ago &#8211; eventually managed to claw his way back to seventh in the final race of the weekend thanks to a series of around-the-outside overtaking moves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has been a poor weekend for us; there\u2019s no hiding from that,\u201d says Felix Rosenqvist. \u201cWe simply haven\u2019t had the pace we were hoping for, and we\u2019re lacking quite a substantial amount of performance compared to the frontrunners at the moment. We were a little bit stronger after making some set-up changes for the final race, but we still obviously can\u2019t be happy. We have a lot of work ahead of us, and we need to improve the situation quickly, but I\u2019m confident we\u2019ll be able to fight back. It\u2019s still very early days in the season and we\u2019ll do absolutely everything to turn this around sooner rather than later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rosenqvist will now head straight to Portugal, where he is set to represent Team Sweden for the first-ever round of the new ACCELERATION FA1 series next weekend. The FIA Formula 3 European Championship, meanwhile, regroups at Hockenheim \u2013 where Rosenqvist holds the Formula 3 lap record \u2013 on May 2-4.<br \/>\n[star_list]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/b106543.web05.cust.bluerange.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Rosenqvist-endures-tough-season-opener.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">DOWNLOAD PRESS RELEASE IN PDF FORMAT<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/star_list]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Felix Rosenqvist did not get the 2014 FIA Formula 3 European Championship campaign off to the start he was looking for, and leaves the season-opening round at Silverstone with a best result of seventh.
