Venturi will be disappointed with the start of the season there team has had. Despite the car be able to challenge the likes of E.Dams and Audi Sport Abt, the team from Monaco sits last in the constructors championship with only 8 points.

Nick Heidfeld by no fault of his own has been involved in a few crashes which has cost the team a number of points and a race win in Beijing.

Stephane Sarrazin has had an ok season so far. The French driver has struggled to get himself into any meaningful points scoring positions, as the French driver only has 3 points to his name this season.

Pre-season testing looked promising for the Monegasque team, as Heidfeld was able to post consistent lap times throughout the five days of testing and Sarrazin was able to show that he is no slouch behind the wheel of an open wheel car.

Beijing was a race to forget for Venturi after Heidfeld’s crash with Nicolas Prost at the last corner of the last lap, which cost the German driver a potential win.

Sarrazin managed to score some points for the team by finishing in ninth place, earning his team just two points.

The teams luck did not change in Malaysia, as Heidfeld was excluded from the race after a pit stop infringement and Sarrazin was unable to register a point for the team as he finished in 12th place. The team needed a change of fortunes going into Punta Del Este.

Despite the team having a quick car, the team suffered from mistakes after mistakes. Heidfeld was leading the race in Punta Del Este after a safety car period, which was caused by his teammate Stephane Sarrazin. However, Heidfeld was given a drive through penalty for using more power than he was allowed to use and therefore, he finished the race in tenth place picking up only one point.

In Buenos Aires, Heidfeld was leading after another safety car period. However, with a few laps to go Heidfeld was given another drive through penalty for speeding in the pits. The team must of thought what must they do to catch a break in this sport. Heidfeld managed to finish in eighth place with his teammate in tenth after another frustrating race.

The team will be hoping to score their first big points of the season in Miami, as they looked to change their fortunes around.
