China Racing will be very happy with the progress that they have made so far this season. The team had a shaky start to the season at their home race in Beijing, but since then the team have found a way to get their car to become a podium contender.

The team had a slow start to the season with Nelson Piquet finishing in eighth position, but the Brazilian driver was 42 seconds of the leaders. Ho Ping Tung struggled to find any pace in his car, with the Dutch born Chinese driver finishing in last place from the remaining 16 runners.

However, in the 70 day break between Beijing and Putrajaya, the team where able to find some speed. Team Owner Steven Lu targeted 5th position in the constructors championship, and from the pace shown in Putrajaya the team could be on for finishing in fifth or maybe even higher.

Despite the strong showing of pace in Putrajaya, the team came away with no points. Nelson Piquet was fighting with Jarno Trulli for fourth position, but a slight incident between the two drivers caused Piquet to retire from the race. Ho Ping Tung had a better outing in his car, but finished in 11th position, one place outside the points scoring positions.

The results soon came in the following races, with Piquet picking up two podiums in the next two races. In Punta Del Este Piquet came home in second place behind Sebastian Buemi, and in Buenos Aires the 29 year old came home in third place.

This run of good results have put China Racing into 6th place in the championship. They are currently one point behind Dragon Racing who is in fifth and one point in front of Mahindra Racing in seventh.

If they want to build a gap between those two teams they will need the assistance of Ho Ping Tung. Despite the Chinese driver improving his form in the three races he has contested, he has yet to score a point this season.

The team will be hoping to get both cars into the points in Miami, in order to continue their recent surge up the constructors championship.
