Scott Dixon
The Kiwi's luck just doesn't seem to with him this season. Dixon looked certain for victory in Monday's race on the streets of Toronto. The defending series champ dominated qualifying and looked in complete control of the race throughout until he was caught out by an ill-timed safety car during the final round of pit stops. Dixon was forced to pit under yellow and relinquished his lead and track position to those that had managed to stop just prior to the safety car being deployed. He salvaged eighth to remain in fourth in the standings but will be ruing what might have been.
Jorge Lorenzo
Spaniard Lorenzo was forced to watch championship rival and countryman Marquez race off to win the Germany Grand Prix and extend his championship lead to 48 points as the Yamaha rider could only manage 15th. Lorenzo struggled all weekend in the often wet conditions and admitted himself that he knew he was never going to be in the fight for a win. After closing the gap to Marquez in recent rounds, Lorenzo has seen the gap open up again with a poor weekend.
Erebus Motorsport
Fresh off an impressive showing from lead driver David Reynolds in Townsville Erebus Motorsport have found themselves in the headlines again for all the wrong reasons. Driver Aaren Russell and major sponsor Fitness Plus have walked away from the organisation. Russell, who essentially leased the Racing Entitlements Contract from Erebus, paid all the costs for his drive in the series. But a breakdown in the relationship saw the 24-year-old walk away from the deal and his major sponsor Fitness Plus followed suit. Erebus must find a replacement driver and a willing sponsor ahead of this weekend's round at Ipswich otherwise they face a fine of $300,000.
