A GP2 Series aproxima-se do final. Antes da última ronda no Abu Dhabi, no próximo fim-de-semana é a vez do campeonato se despedir da Europa, no histórico circuito de Monza.  Apesar dos resultados menos expressivos nas últimas corridas, a equipa portuguesa continua com uma performance que a coloca entre as mais rápidas do campeonato. Os pilotos Fabio Leimer e Max Chilton têm demonstrado as capacidades e o potencial dos dois monolugares. Leimer é cauteloso mas garante que a confiança mantém-se:

The Spa-Francorchamps weekend, the 8th round of the GP2 Main Series, did not favour the Ocean Racing Technology team. Fabio Leimer, who was 12th in race one, and Max Chilton, eleventh in the second race, may have come close to the top ten and displayed the necessary pace to climb as high as the top six, but success was not on their side.

After three weeks of summer holidays, the GP2 Main Series makes their way to one of the most favourite venues on the calendar, Spa-Francorchamps, to dispute the 15th and 16th races on the season.

With 20 drivers all within one second, qualifying at the Hungarian round of the GP2 Main Series Championship was the most competitive of the season so far. Ocean Racing Technology showed a good pace but its drivers, Fabio Leimer and Max Chilton, were unable to get a clean lap on the tight and twisty Hungaroring circuit. When they did succeed in getting out of the traffic, their tyres were too worn to even hope for a top 10 grid position.

Ocean Racing Technology has firmly decided to turn the page after the German round of the GP2 Main Series where the results did not reflect their potential. In Hungary this coming weekend, it will be more about the accuracy of the car’s set up rather than raw speed that will be paramount for getting the most out of the Hungaroring circuit.

For Ocean Racing Technology, the results of this weekend’s races at the Hockenheim circuit were determined by qualifying. Max Chilton shone in the first part of the session which was disputed on a wet track. Best performer of the field in the opening moments, the young English driver was 4th at the conclusion of the first round of timed laps. He was in the perfect position to confirm his speed when he became a victim of the damp conditions and was sent into a spin. The engine of his contender having stalled as a result, Max Chilton was pushed by the track marshals and was forced to finish the session early. With the track drying, most of his rivals significantly improved their times and Max dropped back to 18th place on the starting grid for the first race. Meanwhile, teammate Fabio Leimer lined up on the back row of the grid following an off track excursion in the initial phase of qualifying.

The GP2 Main Series is continuing their round of the historical circuits and now after Silverstone, the legendary home of Motorsport, the main support race for the Formula One series will pack their bags for Hockenheim this weekend.

Ocean Racing Technology disputed the two races at Silverstone by showing a rhythm equivalent to that of the best teams in the GP2 Séries, however the Portuguese teams efforts did not pay off and they leave Great Britain empty handed. 

Ocean Racing Technology has arrived at the Silverstone circuit with the firm intention of picking up the points they have lacking for the last three rounds of the 2010 GP2 Championship season.

Ocean Racing Technology had a very difficult weekend in Valencia where the performances of the GP2 Main Series team were far from the ones they had expected. Max Chilton and Fabio Leimer’s misfortunes started in qualifying when they could not do any better than the slowest two times of the session. The team tried to correct the problem by modifying the set up for the first race but their two drivers were then involved in accidents.
