Chandhok was fastest in qualifying with time of 2:15.459 was just 0.061 ahead of Senna ... But after finishing fastest in qualifying, Karun Chandhok was handed a 5 grid position penalty on top of his original 10 grid position penalty after today’s session in Spa when it was shown that he ignored the yellow flags on his final lap.

So Karun started from 15 on the grid and finished Feature race on 11th and he improved his position in Sprint race to finished on 8th ... Senna had terrible race he started from 1st position but finished on 12th behind Karun in first race and in second race he couldn't finish the race ... Due to poor results by both drivers, iSports lost its top postion in team championship.

It's a more consistent season after last year's flashes of form in the closing part of the season. I think switching to a top team like iSport and having a top-notch team-mate like Bruno Senna helped a lot. I hope Karun has enough financial backing for a championship winning season in 2009. :clap:

At Monza, in qualifying Karun qualified on 10th and Senna on 12th ... But in Feature race he finished on 11th position and Senna on 5th position.

Edited -
So on last race of the season Karun's race got over in the first lap ... :-(

iSports International finished on 2nd position in team standing behind Barwa Campos Team, who ended on 105 pts ... In driver standing Bruno Senna also finished on 2nd position behind Giorgio Pantano of Racing Engineering, who finished on 76 pts ... In both championships iSports team and driver fall short by 8 pts.

Karun finished season on 10th position with 31 pts.
