Bad Brazil

The Manor Mercedes team hoped to end the 2016A Model F1 season on a high note, especially concluding with triple digit points. Unfortunately, that was not meant to be.

Felipe Massa qualified 10th and Pastor Maldonado qualified 16th. The Grand Prix fell apart quickly when Massa, in his home race, retired on lap five with an engine failure. On lap 26, Maldonado ran off track and also was forced to retire.

Team principal macus16 stated, “That’s it folks, end of the season 2 and we came to a grand 99 points. We raced incredibly well with some perfect weekends, but unfortunately we couldn’t keep it together for the end of the season. I am a little disappointed, we should have hit the magic 100 point mark. But onwards and upwards. It was only last season remember we had a 5 point haul. So in the space of a year we’ve improved by just under 2000%. That isn’t bad when you look at it like that.”
