Max
Wilson's inaugural race in the CART FedEx Championship Series came
to an early and unfortunate end today when his car slid into the
wall on the outside of 12th turn at the new
circuit in Fundidora Park in Monterrey, Mexico.
Attempting to pass fellow rookie Nicolas Manassian, Wilson lost
control of his Winner B2B Arciero-Blair Racing Phoenix Lola and ended
his day unhurt but against a concrete wall.
"I lost it (the car) in the last turn, when I was following
Nicolas Minassian. I was trying to overtake him because I was much
quicker than him, but I thought: 'on the last turn I will be quicker'
and I was caught on the dirt part of the track. I just lost it. That
was it," said the Brazilian Wilson. He had started 26th and was
classified 28th at the end.
Unbeknownst to him at the time Wilson was the victim of a leaking
radiator.
