A1GP Shanghai
Robert scores another podium - P2 in the Sprint Race
UPDATE April 13, 2008 01:15 hrs Sprint
Race - Robert would take another podium in the series with a second-place
finish in the sprint race. We do not have all of the details - we're waiting
for the video replay at 02:00 hrs, but it sure looks like the lead trio had a
good start and broke away from the pack in the ten lap race. Robert picked up
enough points to vault A1 Team Canada to eighth place in the standings.
The Feature race will star at 03:00 hrs this morning.
UPDATE April 12, 2008 00:05 hrs Second Free Practice - Arriving
late to the track on Friday after flying in from Barcelona, Robert would get
his first run at the Shanghai circuit in today's 60-minute practice session.
He would start out slowly to learn the track over the first half-dozen laps.
After a short pit stop he would be back on track and immediately start to pick
up times in each sector. After a few more laps it was back into the pits for
adjustments.
With thirty-five minutes to go in the session, Robert was back and his sector
one times dropped with each successive lap. On lap 14 Robert would put in the
ultimate lap going blue in each sector (blue denotes personal best time) putting
him P7. One more stop in the pits and with eight minutes left Robert put on another
charge, improving his sector times each lap and settling on a best lap of 1:36.082
at 172.5 Kmh. He ended the session P7, just 6/10ths back
Next up is the Hot Lap qualifying for the Sprint and Feature races. This will
take place at 02:15 hrs. We will have a report in the morning.
