V8 Supercars: Big Victory For Jamie Whincup at Queensland
Toll HRT’s Will Davison has bounced back in the best possible way after Saturday’s DNF, winning Race 16 at Queensland Raceway.
Improving on his qualifying from yesterday Davison set the fifth fastest time in the 20 minute scramble for pole position early on Sunday and was set to start the race from the third row on the grid.
It was a vastly different day for Saturday’s race winner Jamie Whincup who didn’t quite have the race he would have liked.
Whincup eventually finished the race in 13th position and said the team did what they could with the tyres they had.
“The last thing I want to do is harp on about the soft tyre but really, there were two races going on today,” Whincup said.
“We did a good job with the tyres we had left from yesterday and ultimately came out of the weekend with some good points.”
“The rivalry between ourselves and HRT has gotten stronger so I am looking forward to good honest battle at Phillip Island.” Sportal.com.au
The only hiccup for Davison on his way to his third win in Holden Racing Team colours was on lap 51 when he had a brush with Tim Slade (Ingall’s teammate) when he was lapping the rookie between turns four and five.
“To bounce back like we did today …. I just went home yesterday and went to bed and came back a new person today,” Davison said of Saturday’s shattering experience.
“I was a bit concerned about the pace of the car on hard tyres but we obviously improved the car a lot from what we did in qualifying (fifth) today.”
Davison said he kept monitoring the advantage he had over Lowndes and was mindful of the charge Ingall was staging on the sticky tyres.
“I had a bit of fun trying to get through Russell’s teammate (Slade). We lost a couple of seconds there … a bit of door banging (and) he tried to run into me when he was a lap down which was interesting,” Davison said.
“It was all good fun and games so to hang on I can’t tell you what a relief it is.” V8 Supercars
