A summary of events so far BEIJING 1 CHINA LUCAS DI GRASSI ON THE PODIUM 76,000 spectators, the iconic bird’s nest stadium as backdrop and action aplenty on the track: the opener in Beijing was everything motorsport fans could have hoped for. A cool head coupled with a perfect pit stop saw Brazilian Lucas di Grassi race from fourth to second and cross the finish line after 26 laps behind only the Swiss driver Sébastien Buemi. Teammate Daniel Abt lost the points for a hard fought ninth place after being awarded a time penalty after the race. From Beijing it was a journey of about 4,400 kilometers to the second round in Malaysia. KUALA LUMPUR 2 MALAYSIA DI GRASSI STAYS IN CONTROL IN HEAT CHAOS The race in Kuala Lumpur was one of the most chaotic ones Formula E’s ‘young’ history has seen to date.

  • F1 Advent Calendar 2012 (Day 15) – Ten for Twelve
    F1 Advent Calendar 2012 (Day 15) – Ten for twelve Hello and welcome to the F1 Advent Calendar 2012. This is our mini series taking a look at the highs and lows of the season Just gone, the key moments that made it a pretty incredible year. Today we are moving towards the rear of the grid where an intense battle was playing out. This is Day Fifteen - Ten for twelve. The talk from Caterham ahead of the 2012 season was all about moving forward and away from the other new teams they started their time in Formula One with. Two tenth place season finishes in a row had seen them with a cash inJection, and the hope was for them to take a leap forward and start scoring points. The double retirement in Australia wasn’t exactly the start they were looking for, but a 13th place in Mon- aco for Kovalainen and a similar result in Valencia for Petrov meant the team were keeping a comfortable hold on their tenth place. Then came the Singapore Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton put in a pretty fabulous lap to secure pole position on the Saturday, whilst all eyes were on the Williams pair. Pastor Maldonado was proving his pace in the car by hauling the Williams up to second place on the grid, whilst Bruno Senna crashed out in second qualify- ing, finding his way towards one of those pesky walls. The Ferrari drivers were split, with Fernando Alonso up in fifth, and Felipe Massa in thirteenth. Lining up on the front row of the grid, after a minute of silence paying tribute to Sid Watkins, Hamilton pre- pared for the lights to go out and the race to begin.

The brand with the four rings is to become the premium automobile segment’s ‘number one.’ And in the DTM, Audi has firmly set its sights on being ‘number one’ as well. After winning the manufacturers’ title last season, the drivers’ title that last went to Audi in 2013 is to be recaptured this year. In the fierce competition with BMW and Mercedes-Benz, Audi Sport relies on time- tested and familiar assets: the same three teams, the same eight drivers and exactly the same Audi RS 5 DTM that at the end of 2014 was the car to be beaten. The further development of the car in winter was prohibited by the regulations.

The series helps the drivers to learn valuable skills about car set-up with their engineers as well as further their race craft. The cars themselves are well balanced with a good level of downforce and power to weight ratio. The venues are also very good with established circuits in UAE and India. We elected for Harri to participate in this series to best prepare him for F3. I feel it was very useful in this goal." – Adrian Newey OBE is a British Formula One engineer.
