lost the win with just two laps to go when he dropped out with
mechanical failure handing the victory to his teammate Torrente.
For Carella it was his ninth career victory in his 28th start and his
sixth in his last 12 races. He is currently chasing his record tying
fourth straight World Championship title in 2014.
As for Shaun Torrente, the “Ides of March” struck him on the
15th of March, losing out once again on a great opportunity to
lead the championship instead now sitting 20 points behind his
teammate as he chases for his first crown.
So, with the first Grand Prix in the record books for 2014 the
news may only get even more dire for the rest of the starting
field. Why? Well the Qatar Team is never satisfied and is off to
test two new DAC boats in Italy that should be ready in time for
the next Grand Prix.
And, as the campaign heads to the Far East and the races that
make up the “meat and potatoes” events of the season, Italian
Carella always seems to go to the top of his game. Will anyone
be able to stop him this year?
Let’s see if it will be a step forward or a step back in their program
to win their fourth straight drivers title.
