Another top 10 finish for Armaan

New Delhi: Handicapped by poor qualifications, Armaan Ebrahim finished ninth and 13th in the

sixth round of the FIA Approved Formula 2 Championship in Germany. In his first outing at the technical Oschersleben circuit, Armaan qualified 21st for Race 1 and 17th for Race 2. The first race was quite eventful and there was a huge amount of bumping and hitting among all 25 cars diving into a very tight corner. Almost all cars suffered some damage on the front wings and nose cones. Armaan came out of the corner making a few places in the process, but had some damage to the front wing. Armaan then did his customary overtaking manoeuvres and moved up to seventh place midway through the race before losing two places to finish ninth. Race two saw Armaan climb up the ladder again to 13th place and he could not move up further in the shorter race with all three cars ahead of him defending their positions sternly. "We knew it was going to be a tough weekend and tough it was," Armaan said. "The race was much better as I was able to make many places in the opening laps and could have had an easy seventh or maybe even a sixth place finish, if my front wing was not damaged. But considering the fact that we started 21st, finishing ninth and in the top 10 was quite good," he said. Bureau Report
