HACKEL WINS MONSOON RACE

​

Thomas Hackel laps Hiroshi Awazu in the rain​

​

​

​

​

Thomas Hackel dominated the 2nd Pre Season Event at Paul Ricard with a lights to flag victory. He overcame the torrential weather to lap the entire field. 2nd place was for Sauber Driver, Linus Brostrom, whose pit strategy allowed him to leapfrog Joel Wraith and Hiroshi Awazu. Joel has shown strong pace in the Lotus, meanwhile Hiroshi is starting to get back into his groove.​

​

Omer Said finished 5th even with a small spin while Garry Pullen got valuable information for the Caterham team with a fine 6th place. Ferrari drivers, Peter Duivelaar and Jean-Francois Godin were 7th and 9th with Aidan Keranen splitting the two. There was no other finishers with James Chant aquaplaning and Mohammed Abidi suffering a hydraulics problem. F4talN1k and Alexander Macdonald stalled on the grid.​

​

The next race is the opening round of the season and it takes place at the Australian Street Circuit of Melbourne!​

Oh dear forgot to pit and finish!

 

[Alexander Macdonald]

James Chant I have no team-mate and I noticed that you don't have one either. May I sign with Mercedes?

 

[James Chant]

I think after pre season testing this would be controversial,
But there is an empty silver arrow, and pressure from the boss to win the constructors, which I can't do it alone,

So yeah, why not!
