Alex Carella UIM F1 World Champion 2013
Alex drove a perfect race and was in the lead from start to finish.
Torrente had some problems and ended up third in the race. Sami and Andersson did not finish.
Chiappe was trying hard at the end of the race but did not have the power to beat Alex..
Alex is the man again..
Pole for Alex Carella, Torrente second and Sami “flipped the Flipper” in Shajah.
Tomorrow is going to be fun to watch the final UIM F1 race. Four drivers can be the champ, but they have to win..!!
Sami Selio below.
A happy Alex Carella.

Shaun after the incident..
“Yeah, I was really pushing and got caught up in a gust and that’s all it took,” said the driver from Miami. “I’m fine and smiling now but it was a big hit and I’m glad I got it done today and not tomorrow when it really counts.”
