The Hungarian got quicker and quicker, the longer the race went on for and recorded the fastest timed lap.<\/p>\n<p>However, he would certainly have preferred to also pocket<em> \u201cthird place, which was possible.

His lap times were good and finishing eighth, he would have started from Pole on Sunday. Looks like there was an air-lock in the clutch System, that\u00b4s why the engine stalled when he pitted\u201d<\/em>, Zele showed his disappointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tamas Pal Kiss missed another podium for Zele Racing in race one of the AutoGP season closer due to a\u00a0slow spinning\u00a0wheel gun \u2013 teammate Josef Kral suffered from a clutch problem<\/p><p><a class=\"more-link btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zele-racing.com\/?p=992\">Weiterlesen<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":993,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zele-racing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/992"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zele-racing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zele-racing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zele-racing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zele-racing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=992"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.zele-racing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/992\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":998,"href":"https:\/\/www.zele-racing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/992\/revisions\/998"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zele-racing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zele-racing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zele-racing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zele-racing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
