A1 Team Brasil’s 2006/07 season came to a unfortunate end today when Bruno Junqueira crashed out on lap nine of the feature race at Brands Hatch in England. Earlier on in the day he had finished the sprint race in 12th, and was aiming for a strong points finish in this afternoon’s race, but a brake issue from the start proved problematic, and in the end caused his demise from the race.
After switching to a new chassis before qualifying yesterday, Bruno had to get used to a new car with just four flying laps. He qualified in 16th position, lining up on the eighth row of the grid for this morning’s 15-lap sprint race. He remained 16th after the rolling start, but was able to move up the rankings after accidents involving New Zealand, China, South Africa and Switzerland. He crossed the line in 12th, meaning a sixth row start for the feature race.
