Da Costa triumphs in wet thriller

Antonio Felix da Costa made it back-to-back victories in Formula Renault 3.5 by winning a rain-affected opening race of the weekend at Paul Ricard. The Red Bull-backed driver recovered from a poor start from third on the grid to stay out of trouble and pick his way back through the field, eventually coming out on top in a head-to-head scrap for the win with wet weather specialist Nick Yelloly.
