The team is on course to
complete
a
stellar
season
and a clean sweep of all
championships; Carella has led
from the front and assumed
the mantle of team leader from
the start, averting a potentially
disastrous season opener for
the team salvaging 9 points from
15th of the dock.
Two brilliant pole and race win
doubles in Evian and Liuzhou
and a measured fourth in Harbin
has put the Italian on top, in
control and on track for a fourth
title. If he wins in Abu Dhabi the
title is his!
Al Qemzi T has played a key role
with two top six finishes and a
podium third in Harbin, with
young rookie Rashed [Al Qemzi]
narrowly missing out on bagging
his first championship points in
the last two races. Maybe his
recent history making F2 world
title will give the youngster that
extra bit of encouragement in
the season run in.

Brilliant to see a team with
limited budget and resource
carrying the fight to the big
teams; after a heart breaking
start that saw a podium slip
away on the penultimate lap in
Portugal and with just seven
points from two starts, Stark
catapulted himself right back
into title contention with an
awesome pole and race win
double in Harbin and followed
up with second in Liuzhou. He
must finish ahead off Carella in
Abu Dhabi to keep his hopes of
a first title alive.
Andersson’s two top six finishes
sandwiched
between
two
retirements mask what might
have been as he is yet to enjoy
a full race distance without
some form of engine issue. An
untroubled run in and mixing it
with the title hopefuls could help
out his teammate!
