Armaan to start 19th on grid

Coimbatore: A1 Team India driver Armaan Ebrahim will start 19th on grid for Sunday's sprint race, after only 14 laps around the new street circuit, in the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport in Beijing, China.

Earlier in the day, the organisers were forced to cancel the third official practice and qualifying sessions due to problems with a manhole cover in the street circuit racing line.

"I am a bit frustrated that we have ended up 19th on the grid. I know we could have improved our time dramatically as I was just concentrating on bedding in the brakes and finding a balance on the car," said Armaan.

However Armaan sounded confident of moving up the field on race day.

Yohann J. Setna, seat holder for A1 Team India said Armaan managed to learn the circuit pretty quickly. " — Sports Reporter
