Brazilian GP: Race Notebook
motorsport-live.com November 20th, 2016
We almost got used to it...
Chapman on the top step of the podium. "It was a rather lonely race to be honest. Yes,
Nina was in my mirrors in the first stint, but after that, there always was a sizable gap, I almost looked forward to lap all those back markers," he said after the race. It was his... win of the season.
Lundquist Finds Wall:
"My bad. I got on the wet kerb on the inside of the first part of the chicane. That one was incredibly wet, and I ended up losing control and slipped off the track. Sorry for the team, I screwed that one up," said
Siri Lundquist of
Vélan racing. It looked like a awkward driving error to be honest.
Oliveira Loses Tyre Gamble:
"Well, we thought we could make up some ground on the ultrasoft's and we thought it was going to start raining again with four laps to go. Obviously, who gave us that weather report should get himself a new crystal ball," a visibly disappointed
Ana Oliveira told the media after the race.
"I never had any luck racing in Brazil since I left the country to race in bigger, international series. Must be some kind of curse or something," she added. This one will really hurt
Windsor in the Constructors championship...
With Fifteen Races in the Books:
Dieter Wexler,
Aki Lipponen and
Zoe Sharp are fighting over third place in the Drivers Championship and the battle is on for third in the Constructors between
Windsor and
Panther and a third place for
Oliveira would've been massive for them... oh well.
On the back of the field,
Kitano-Honda would love another two points to get past
Lotus Racing to salvage an abysmal 2016 season.
