The Italian collided with Baba’s Racing’s Filip Roms when both drivers were battling for second position in the 60-lap race.

Their departure opened the door for pole position winner Sami Selio of Finland to take his first win of the season. Carella was taken to a local hospital for checks and medical attention.

Team Sweden’s Jonas Andersson finished in second place, while defending World Champion Philippe Chiappe rounded off the podium and moved 10 points ahead of Carella in the standings.

Team Abu Dhabi’s Rashed Al- Qamzi and Mohammed Al-Mehairbi finished the second of the weekend’s UIM F4-S races in third and sixth place and that was sufficient for Al-Qamzi to leave Harbin with an impressive lead of 25 points in the championship standings.
