13.4.2006 Henri got pole position and won the second race of the season in Zhuhai, China

The whole weekend was excellent. I Like the Zuhai track and I drove there my
first Renault test. In almost all tests I was the fastest so I decided to go
on in the same way in the qualifying. The distance between me and the others
to the pole was distinct, which was a very good start for the race. We drove
the first start for two laps when the race was stopped by the red flag
shown. In the restart I was able to take the lead and ready to escape from
the others until after two laps the safety car came to the circuit due to
the collision. We drove two laps after the safety car. Finally, when the
safety car left the track I was able to escape from the others since I was
the fastest during the whole weekend and the car did not have any problems.
On Sunday at the second start I started from the pole again again but at the
start my teammate passed me. My start was a bit unsuccessful but I am going
to practice them before my next competition. I and my teammate had the same
speed and I was unable to pass him so I finish second. It was a satisfactory
result although I was after the victory. In the series I am now second four
points behind the lead. The winner gains 30 points and the second receives
24 points. I feel confident about the next race where I am after the victory.
I would like to thank my sponsors and all those who supported me during the
competition weekend and also the Asian Racing Team.
