Saturday, February 12, 2011
Jules Bianchi scored his first GP2 Asia win today after taking the lead at the start, suffering race-long pressure from pole sitter Romain Grosjean, and in spite of a red flag. Davide Valsecchi finished third giving Team AirAsia a podium finish on their race debut. It was an all-French front row today at Yas Marina Circuit for the first race of the 2011 GP2 Asia Series, with Grosjean ahead of Bianchi. But the Dams racer was slower to take off at the start and it was the Lotus ART man who took the lead before the first corner. Bianchi kept Grosjean at bay in the following corners while Valsecchi managed to keep P3. Behind, it was mayhem as Racing Engineering Dani Clos stalled on the grid from P4. Most of the field managed to avoid his car, but Team AirAsia’s Liuz Razia was unable to see Clos’ car until the very last second and barely had the time to turn to the right. He collided with the Spaniard’s car quite violently and went flying over it, crashing into the wall a few meters later. Bits and pieces were scattered all over the start/finish line and the race was red flagged in order to clean the track and retrieve the two badly damaged chassis along with Dams’ Pål Varhaug’s car - the Norwegian also a casualty of the crash.

Thursday, November 18, 2010
Australian race fans might soon have two locals to cheer on in Formula One after the stunning performance this week of Daniel Ricciardo. The Western Australian dominated both days of the 2010 young driver test at the Yas Marina circuit taking his Red Bull RB6 to a quickest time of 1:38.102, .700 faster than Renault driver Jerome D'Ambosio and over a second faster than Sam Bird in the McLaren. Ricciardo's time would have been fast enough to have put the Australian on pole for the series final race. The time was set however on light tanks, soft tyres and after four days of F1 rubber on the track. Red Bull head of race engineering Ian Morgan said that the team was delighted with Ricciardo's performance.

Saturday, February 20, 2010
Defending Champion Jamie Whincup showed the switch to Holden from Ford has had little effect on Triple Eight's dominance of the Australian V8 Supercar Championship with a win in the opening round at the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi. In front of empty grandstands Whincup dominated the 43 lap race to lead home team mate Craig Lowndes and take an early lead in the defence of his Championship. "It's been a great day, we has a great strategy and it's really cool under these lights." said Whincup. Mark Winterbottom was the first of the Fords in third place overcoming a 10 second penalty after he failed to line up properly at the start of the race. Dick Johnson Racing's James Courtney finished fourth just ahead of Gary Rogers Motorsport driver Lee Holdsworth in the Commodore.
