Claim: In the 2007 Gran Premio Tecate, Sébastien Bourdais qualified for the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez after establishing a new track record, while Will Power, despite driving with a broken wrist, managed to clinch his fifth pole position of the year.
Evidence: 24 hours after Sébastien Bourdais established a new track record in Friday qualifying at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, seven drivers were able to improve on that mark during Saturday's session. Power was driving with a broken wrist suffered in his home race three weeks ago in Australia. But Will Power was far and away the fastest of the fast on the day, finishing .594 seconds ahead of his closest competitor, Robert Doornbos, thus clinching his fifth pole position of the year and second in succession.
