A1GP Taupo FEATURE: lap-by-lap

Sunday, January 25, 2009

Lap 50 Neel Jani punches the air and is over the moon. He was really ill earlier this week, but what a recovery drive today! Ireland was second ahead of Portugal, who got the fastest lap. Next was Australia, ahead of Netherlands, France, India, USA, Italy, South Africa.

Lap 50 Switzerland wins!

Lap 50 Final lap. Switzerland's Neel Jani starts its last lap.
Lap 48 Neel Jani has been told on the radio that Switzerland is losing oil and not use to PowerBoost in the final laps, no matter what happens.
Lap 46 Neel Jani has got a 1.3-second lead. Could it be Switzerland's first Feature race win?

Lap 44 Strange incident at Turn 12. Indonesia's Satrio Hermanto spun before Malaysia's Fairuz Fauzy loses seventh just a few seconds later by doing the same thing at the same corner. Netherlands' Robert Doornbos makes the move on France's Loic Duval at the same corner, while this is all going on.
Lap 43 Robert Doornbos still has five pushes of the PowerBoost left. He will be challenging France and Australia hard, who only have 1 and three press respectively.

Lap 42 USA got past Italy for ninth place.

Lap 42 Jani makes a great restart and keeps the lead.

Lap 41 And away we go again!
Lap 40 Safety car is coming.

Lap 39 The Irish team rejoice! They know that Adam Carroll has another chance at this, being really good at restarts. Will Neel Jani be able to hold off the Celtic Tiger?
Lap 39 This is going to close everything up.
Lap 38 The safety car is out!

Lap 37 Clivio Piccione has gone off at Turn 11 and beached the Monaco car at the gravel.
Lap 36 It looks like Jani has got the better of Carroll. The lead is now 1.844 seconds.
Lap 33 Portugal is gaining slightly on Ireland.

Lap 31 Neel Jani has a 1.6-second lead over Ireland's Adam Carroll.

Lap 31 Let's catch our breath, shall we? Switzerland leads from Ireland, Portugal, Australia, France, Netherlands, Malaysia, India, South Africa.
Lap 30 Portugal has now set the fastest lap with a 1m 14.898s lap.
