Malaysia - Confirmed Sprint and Feature race
results
Sprint race
As a result of Germany being demoted
to 16th place due to causing an avoidable collision during
this morning's Sprint race, Canadian rookie Robert Wickens has
scored the team's first podium finish since Brno last season
and notched up a valuable 10 points for his country, moving
Canada into 12th place in the championship.
Home nation Malaysia scored its first two points by default
this morning after Germany's demotion and A1 Team Netherlands'
25-second penalty for a false start in the Sprint race. The
penalty dropped them from eighth to 18th in the final Sprint
race classification, stripping the team of the three points it
had scored. The penalty also meant that Ireland and Italy
received an additional two points each.
Feature race
A1 Teams Brazil and Great Britain
have both been hit with a two second penalty for gaining an
unfair advantage in the pit lane during the first mandatory
stop in this afternoon's Feature race, promoting France to
second place, USA to tenth and Mexico to 11th.
Germany was penalised with the equivalent time of a drive
through penalty for causing an avoidable collision with Great
Britain on lap 19 and following a further avoidable collision
with the Czech Republic on lap 28, Germany was excluded from
the final Feature race results.
Switzerland now leads the championship on 61 points, eight
ahead of second-placed France on 53, followed by New Zealand
in third on 46.
Fastest lap: A1 Team Switzerland set the fastest lap
in both the Sprint and Feature races gaining two bonus points
for its efforts. On lap 10 of the Sprint race, Neel Jani
clocked a time of 1.49.221 going on to set a time of 1.49.260
on lap 25 of the Feature race.
Next race: A1GP Zhuhai, China, 14-16 December
