Last but one racing weekend of GP2-series shall bring first victory for Andreas Zuber

Sledgehammer approach may not be target-aimed but sometimes one has to force one’s luck

The GP2-series is approaching the home straight. The last but one racing weekend this season will take place this weekend with the two runs in Spa Francorchamps. Another chance for Andreas Zuber for a place on the podium. But the Moser Medical Group driver isn’t content with that. The 24-year-old Styrian wants to celebrate his first victory this season on one of his favourite circuits.

Zuber: "Spa is very much to my liking. During the training session last year I was quite a lot faster than my teammate Timo Glock. And I think that Piquet Sports also will provide the material to be able to reach the top of the podium. We’ve had a lot of bad luck and technical problems as well so far. But it is always very close in the GP2-series and you constantly have to go to the limit in order to be among the top players."

The circuit in the Belgian Ardennes offers a very special "delicacy", as one knows well from Formula 1. The Eau Rouge depression demands everything of drivers and material. Even more, it takes a lot of guts to keep the foot on the accelerator. "It surely isn’t as tough as in Formula 1 but still quite an experience to us each time as well. But I have well prepared myself for this challenge with my fitness-guru Erwin Göllner during the last days",Zuber reveals.

It is also obvious that the Moser Medical Group driver will give his all in order to prevail in hairy manoeuvres. For there comes a time when one has to force one’s luck a bit without using the sledgehammer approach which definitely wouldn’t be target-aimed.
