Canamasas recovery rewarded with 11th place

Team Lazarus driver, who was excluded from the results – he qualified 9th- yesterday after it was found that the tire pressure of his car, according race stewards, was below the minimum required, put on a remarkable recovery drive and from the back of the field finished 11th.

Sergio Canamasas played another major role during Saturday´s GP2 Feature race at Monza, famous Italian Tempio della Velocità. Spaniard Canamasas took 9th spot with his Dallara GP2/11 in qualifying but late at night he was excluded from the session as race stewards found tire pressure of his car was below the minimum required. So Canamasas was forced to start Race 1 from the back of the grid. But Canamasas is proud of his never-give-up attitude. In fact, the Barcelona-born driver has shown the spirit of those who never back away from challenges. In spite of he spun at the start, when safety car was deployed, he joined the field again. Eventually, he overtook several cars to finish 11th. Tomorrow Canamasas will start from sixth row on the grid, eying points on Sunday.

“I was left with a mountain to climb. As if it were not enough I spun at the start losing 13 second, but at least under safety car period I managed to rejoin the field”, Canamasas remarked. The driver of Team Lazarus added that “it is nice to put on that recovery, but this makes me thing what we could have achieved from 9th on the grid. I have had such a good time despite my car wasn´t perfect. DRS is rather useful at Monza. My goal tomorrow is to score some points”.
