A1 Team Malaysia enjoyed a strong sixth place finish in the Sprint race at the second round of the A1 Grand Prix series in Germany this weekend. The top ten finish was a welcome result however, driver Alex Yoong was unable to capitalise on in the main Feature race, after an incident filled race which left the Malaysian finishing in 16th place.
Alex Yoong took his 18th place grid slot for the German round of the A1 Grand Prix series with high hopes of improving on this position by the end of the 18 lap Sprint race. A superb start by the former Formula 1 star catapulted him to seventh place after the first lap. First lap incidents ahead and consistent driving promoted Yoong to sixth place, a position he maintained until the chequered flag, holding off challenges from behind for a full 13 laps of exciting racing action to bring home valuable points for A1 Team Malaysia in the World Cup of Motorsport.
In the 38 lap feature race Yoong started from his sixth place Sprint race finish position. At the green light Yoong demonstrated his experience and sheer racing grit by storming off the start into second place at the first corner. Handling problems with the car dropped Yoong back down the order in the following laps, settling into sixth place as the race settled down. Pitting for his mandatory stop on lap six, Yoong rejoined in eleventh. A mid race off-track excursion put the Malaysian driver down the order into nineteenth place.
Well done nonetheless Alex. Its another 5 points to our tally, leaving us with 11 points after 2 races, lying in 9th position outta a field of 25 teams. We're the best placed Asian team as well. Malaysian Boleh. Next Stop: Estoril, Portugal.
