"I am announcing my resignation, the final day of 2011 and will be searching for new goals with the start of a new year tomorrow," said the American. "I've done a lot of thinking since the final race at the Grand Prix of Sharjah and feel it's best for all concerned that I walk away from the Qatar organization and rethink my future in the sport."

ABU DHABI - Tuesday, December 6, 2011 - As the UIM F1 H2O World Championship race teams roll into the paddock area surrounded by the lovely area around the city of Abu Dhabi, two things are starting to stand out as story lines for this pivotal sixth round of the championship that will be run this Friday at 15:30 (11:30 GMT).

First off, this will be a battle with a rivalry that is growing more and more intense by the race between Team Abu Dhabi and their neighbors to the West the Qatar Team. The Qatar organization has a very talented duo of drivers in World Championship points leader Jay Price and young Italian teammate Alex Carella. Price has 67 points and a pair of victories in Doha and again in Portimao, Portugal while Carella is just three points back with 64 and has won in Kazan, Russia.
