ANANDA MIKOLA : RACING FOR INDONESIA |
FIA Formula 3000 International Championship |
Barcelona : Round 3 2000 FIA Formula 3000 Championship
Ananda Mikola finish once again in the top 20 in the FIA Formula 3000 Championship at Barcelona, but was lucky as for the last two laps he was driving with a flat front tyre.
Having made a great start he finished the first lap in 18th position from 23rd on the grid, the problems then started as he flat spotted the front left tyre.
With 20 laps to go the vibration was becoming so bad Ananda could hardly see however he was holding onto 16th position with Fernado Alonso right behind, Ananda was defending well until at the last corner he went wide onto the grass and was lucky to keep the car away from the barrier.
Once back on the circuit Ananda was back in 19th position where he stay until the finish, Ananda cross the line with the front left tyre completely flat but happy to finish in the top 20 once again.

I was glad to see the chequered flag as driving the car nearly became impossible due the vibration from the front tyre. It was a shame as I made a good first lap and had the possibility to finish in the top 15.
