Premat had a very hard crash in the first lap in Adria, where his Audi rolled several times after a contact with Maro Engel’s Mercedes. The Frenchman escaped unhurt, but his team decided not to run him in Shanghai, and he may be replaced by Edoardo Mortara, who just clinched F3 Euroseries championship this season.
