TIE, Kent/Oliveiria/Salom, 22 More, from a press release issued by Mahindra Racing: MAHINDRA WITHIN TOUCHING DISTANCE 5 June, 2011, Montmelo: Bad luck struck the Indian Mahindra team in today’s Catalunyan GP, when both riders were involved in a first-corner traffic incident. Danny Webb (20, from England) was knocked down and out of the race before even reaching the second corner. Team-mate Marcel Schrötter (18, from Germany) was radically slowed by the same incident, and spent the rest of the race trying to regain ground. He finished 16th, just one place out of the points. It was a huge disappointment for the Mahindra team, the only one on the grid to make its own engine and motorcycle, after a weekend that had shown growing strength. The race started on a drying track but with damp patches after more rain overnight and in the morning. Some other riders chose wet tyres, but both Mahindra riders chose treadless slicks, which turned out to be the right choice as the sun broke through by race end. Webb had qualified 14th and was confident of a good result. Instead he had a lonely walk back to the pits. Schrötter was 20th on the grid, but had already made up several places when he was dropped back again, finishing the first lap 21st. He climbed through to 15th, but grip problems meant he had lost one crucial place by the end, missing the last championship point. But the team could take many positives from the enhanced performance and reliability of the new engine, in its fifth race. With the next race in just one week, at Silverstone in England, hopes remain high and confidence continues to grow. MARCEL SCHRÖTTER 16th Position I got a good start and I was behind Danny into the first corner. Then he crashed and I had to close the throttle. Five or six people passed me right then. There were some damp patches so I was riding carefully, but then I found a good rhythm and came through to 15th. In the second part of the race my rear tyre was sliding we had soft suspension settings for wet conditions. It was difficult to keep the line, and though I could see the group ahead, I just couldn’t catch up. No points, but still a good finish. DANNY WEBB – DNF In the first corner, someone in front of me slowed right down and I had to close the throttle … then I got hit from behind. I can’t say I’m not angry. We were on for a good result, but once again we had bad luck. I must have done something really bad in a previous life. I’m really sorry for the team, because they worked really hard and well this weekend. We deserve better, and I am sure we will get it.
