BANGKOK:
French Formula One star Romain Grosjean claimed the Race of Champions in Bangkok late on Sunday, beating some of the biggest names in motorsport including Sebastian Vettel and Michael Schumacher. Grosjean beat Le Mans legend Tom Kristensen in the best-of-three final to the competition, which brought together heavyweights from all racing disciplines in the same type of car, including IndyCar Series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay and rally driver Sebastien Ogier. Grosjean, who endured a controversy-marked season in his Formula One Lotus car, ended the year in style with the inspired win at the custom-built tarmac track in Bangkok’s 50,000-capacity Rajamangala Stadium. Grand prix legend Schumacher was knocked out by Grosjean in the semi-final of the headline event while three-time Formula One champion Vettel stumbled at the quarters for the second year running.
