Disappointment in Shanghai for Team Brasil



It was an action-packed afternoon in Shanghai at the penultimate round of the 2006/07 A1GP World Cup of Motorsport, with thrilling on track action, no less than three safety car periods, and the crowning of Germany as the champions after Nico Hulkenberg finished third in this afternoon s feature race. The race followed this morning s 10-lap sprint race, which was won by Team Great Britain, its debut A1GP win. Unfortunately things were not as good in the Team Brasil garage, as the squad endured another trying day, with Vitor Meira finishing the sprint and features races in 14th and 19th respectively.

Vitor began this morning s sprint race from 15th on the grid, but dropped to 18th after the rolling start. On lap three he passed Team Portugal for 17th and then moved past Mexico or 16th. After a collision between France and Canada, Vitor was up to 14th, a position he retained until the chequered flag, setting him up for a seventh row start in the feature race.
