F1: Lewis claims title with ‘grand slam’ – Gulf Digital News

Bahrain-based karting sensation Lewis Smith captured the X30 Senior title in the IAME Summer Series 2022, held earlier this week at RAK Track in Ras Al Khaimah, the UAE.

Lewis, sponsored by aviation industry giants JBT AeroTech Corporation, secured his crown with a sensational “grand slam” victory in the championship’s second and final round, where he led from the start in Qualifying Practice all the way to the chequered flags in the Pre-Final and Final.

Lewis had also won in the opening round of the campaign, thus securing enough points to take the champion’s trophy.

“I am very happy to have clinched the X30 title in this year’s IAME Summer Series,” said the talented 16-year-old, who is a student at British School of Bahrain.

“It was a very challenging two rounds of the championship but I did my best and I am pleased with how everything turned out.

“Securing the title was not all just me – I have to give a huge thanks to my family for all the support and encouragement they always give me in my ambitions to become a professional racer one day.

“I also thank my sponsors JBT, without whom none of this is possible, and a big thanks as well
