Formula Two - Spa: Rough start to the weekend but Robert
scores podium
P3 on Sunday puts Robert second in championship
 (2009.06.27) Putting the disappointment of Saturday's race behind
him, Robert would have a solid run today and come home in third
place for the fifteen lap race. Robert qualified on the front
row (P2) and would fall off to fourth on the start but fought
back to third going into the very fast Eau Rouge complex on the circuit
at Spa. Robert would slot into third and this group of three
pulled away from the rest of the field. Running equal lap times
all three maintained a gap and it was difficult to get into
position to pass. Robert did make up some ground in the late
laps but would come across the line in third.
Robert earned six points on the day and would move up to second
overall in the championship. The Formula Two series takes a
few weeks off with the next round taking place at Brands Hatch
(England) July 17-19.
Formula Two - Spa: Race one over before it starts
(2009.06.26) A clutch failure at the start of this afternoon's race
left Robert immobile - and vulnerable. Starting from the second
row, Robert coasted to a halt and while a number of cars managed
to get around his disabled race car he was hit from behind severely damaging
the right rear suspension. His day over, Robert will now focus on race two
on Sunday where he will start from the front row. (P2)
Formula Two - Spa this weekend for race
5 & 6
Robert will start on second row on Saturday
(2009.06.26) Robert started the day at the Spa circuit in Belgium
working with his engineer for this weeks race to get the most
out of the car. Early practice had him in the top ten and by
qualifying this afternoon Robert had improved his times and
will now start from the inside of row two for race five on Saturday.
That race will take place at 7:15 a.m. ET and can be seen live
online at FormulaTwo.com
 Robert scores podium in F3 at Hockenheim
(2009.06.13) Robert took the opportunity to race with his former
team Carlin Motorsport (WSR) in a Cooper Tires British
F3 event at Hockenheim, Germany last week. Driving a Volkswagen Dallara
Robert was taken out of race one in the first lap but he recovered
on Sunday to take third place from fifteenth on the starting
grid.
There is a complete race weekend report at www.carlin.co.uk.
Victory in race 2
Robert leads Formula Two Championship after double race win
(2009.05.31) Robert once again had a great start and despite an early
challenge, was able to pull out a lead in the 17-lap race on
Sunday afternoon. Rain threatened late in the race but the few
sprinkles that hit the track did not affect Robert's run. He
would go on to take the checkered flag with a 5.911 second margin.
With the two victories, Robert leads the series championship
by nine points.
The next race is at Brno, Czech Republic June 19-21

Fastest lap of the day - Robert takes pole by .014 seconds!

Robert has claimed the first pole in the 2009 Formula Two series
with a time of 1:27.755. The fastest time on the day, Robert
recorded his fast lap early and held on to take pole by .014 seconds. The
top fifteen cars are covered by less than one second (.980).
"It's definitely an honour to take the first pole position in Formula
Two," said Wickens. "All through testing and practice I've been
relatively quick so it's nice to say I got the first pole of the year,
but it's the first race of a long season so I've just got to get my head
down and focus on the rest of the weekend."

Robert's season is about to begin - tops the time sheets
at first official F2 test
Formula Two drivers got their first chance behind the wheel
of the new Formula Two car built by Williams last week in preparation
for the series' opening round in just two weeks time. Robert
came out of the gate in the first session with the sixth-fastest
time in what seemed to be a very tight session. Immediately
comfortable with the car, Robert would go out in session two and top
the time sheets improving on his performance in the morning session.
"It was a good reward and a good way to end the first test day of testing," Wickens
stated, "but ultimately it's only the first day of a long season. I
really enjoyed it and I felt very comfortable in the car. The competition
is very tight. I was surprised at one point when I was only three tenths
off the best time, but I was way down in the overall positions. It's definitely
what you can expect from the whole season and I think it should be good."
