Reddy targets top three finishes after Brands Hatch podium

The Indian ended second in race two, having started from fourth, after passing Ricky Collard and Enzo Bortoleto, to finish 3.572s ahead from the latter, in third.

With strong pace shown in the first round in Snetterton and subsequently Brands Hatch, Reddy is confident of wins in the remaining rounds.

"I know I have the speed to be constantly at the front for the rest of the season," said the 18-year-old to Motorsport.com.

"The goal is ultimately the title and to get there, I am targeting regular top three finishes, including wins and score as many points as I can each weekend."

Talking about the two rounds, the Fortec driver, who sits 12th in the championship, was happy with the pace, but naturally disappointed with the non-finishes.

"Third in qualifying was a good start in Snetterton, but two DNF's hurt me, where I was taken out by other drivers," he said.

"Finishing fifth and second in the first two races, was a good result in Brands Hatch

"But unfortunately, in the last race, I collected a stranded Raoul Hyman, in the center of, one of the fastest corners, which ended my race."

Mahadik loving the 'enriching' experience

Fellow countryman Krishnaraaj Mahadik, who made his international single-seater debut in the same round, impressed with top six finish, in the final race of the weekend.

The Indian, coming off from the JK Tyre championship, soaked in the first weekend pressure and delivered when it mattered.

“The Friday test day was the first time I had ever driven around Brands Hatch," said the Chris Dittmann Racing driver, in an interview on British F3 website.

"The practice was wet, which was a bit of a setback because I had to go out on slick tyres for the first time in qualifying.

"I got lucky [in race three] as there were a few unfortunate crashes, but I moved forward and definitely learned a lot from the weekend." he added.

While, Mahadik enjoyed the sixth place, following his 14th and 11th finish, putting him 18th in the championship, the Indian wasn't all happy with the general pace.

"According to [the] pace, I wasn’t really quick amongst the front-runners. I was pretty happy with my times but I wasn’t the quickest.

"I don’t want the same situation at Rockingham, so I am going to practice really hard and make sure I get better results," he said.

The Indian is relishing the opportunity to race in a competitive field, having a stark difference to what he has witnessed in India and is aiming regular top six finishes for the season.
