After a lengthy summer recess, the UIM F1H2o World Championship is back with vengeance this weekend in China, and the title race is heating up.

Few would have predicted that Jonas Andersson would be topping the leader board at this stage of the season, he currently holds a 3-point advantage over defending champion Shaun Torrente, after his second place in the Grand Prix of Xiamen today.

Jonas Andersson / 47 points
Shaun Torrente / 44 points
Marit Stromoy / 28 points
Thani Al Qemzi / 27 points
Alex Carella / 25 points
Peter Morin / 23 points

Mathematically, 4 other drivers can take the title, Marit Stromoy, Thani Al Qemzi, Alex Carella and Peter Morin.

Alex Carella’s win today will clearly give him a huge confidence boost ahead of tomorrow’s Grand Prix of China, if he is standing on the top of the podium tomorrow afternoon, the Championship will head to the final race in Sharjah on a knife edge, and very few of us expected that at the beginning of the 2019 season.
