In a dramatic turn of events, double F1H2o World Champion Sami Seliö has been given the ‘all clear’ to compete in the Grand prix of Sharjah on Friday.

After his accident during the Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi, Seliö received bruising to his right eye, the good news is that it has healed sufficiently to allow 20/20 vision.

Now his appearance hinges on whether BaBa boat builder Massimo ‘Roger’ Roggiero can repair the hull in time.

‘Roger’ has been burning the midnight oil to ensure Selio will be ready and raring to go on Friday.
