Team France won again as expected, with driver Alexandre Premat only using 1 of his 8 PowerBoosts throughout the entire race. Man, this guy is really good. He says he used the PowerBoost button once to pass Neel Jani of Team Switzerland, and after that the race was ‘very quiet’ for him.
This is Team Malaysia’s best finish so far. Let’s see if Alex and Fairuz will be able to get into the top three in subsequent races. The next leg of the A1 Grand Prix of Nations will be held at the Dubai Autodrome in UAE.

Watched it on TV. Very unfortunate he spun off a few laps before the end of the race. He might have a chance to be on the podium as GB didn't finish their race. Aiyyoh….so rugi one.
Anyway, come on Yoong. I know you can do better than that!
Teng Yijiang's crash was pretty spectacular.
oklah………boleh tahan
Alex spun off due to slight rain. A few other also but I think he would have came in at least 4th if they had a faster pit stop. I think the team needs to practice more on that. Team France pit stop was flawless but look what happended to Team Britain lost out due to pit stop!
But this race was neck to neck in overtakings … GREAT!
I have to say alex did a great job at the race today.. i was at the race ..he was brilliant in avoiding piquet jr. at the start.. and through out the race.. his pace was quite fast.. he ran circles around new zealand .. eventhough he made a couple of mistakes.. if the pitstop was faster.. i believe a podium was in sight..
congrats alex, fairuz and team malaysia.. u did us proud
wah.. not bad la… Malaysia oso top 5.. didn't see the race, my astro got no sports.. Alex spun out ah.. wasted… practice more, get better!!
It was a superb race and the malaysian team did quite well….
GO MALAYSIA GO!!!!
After someone called him as ALEX MOLAN Yoong (or telurless) on this BLOG, now ALEX wanna to prove that he still got JJ and balls, ……… therefore he has tried very hard at that race, if he can win the race…..soon ALEX's name with word of MOLAN will be removed!!! and become—> ALEX YAULAN Yoong …….
YAHOoo……Alex ADD OIL!!! KAR YAU arr!!

alex! don't be afraid of going slowly,be afraid of standing still.( better improve gradually than nothing).
Thumbs up to alex yoong…
what's wrong with the tools that are used to change the tyres?? i noticed a lot of teams had difficulty with the wheel nut, seems to get jammed easily.
The part whereby India rammed into Pakistan sent me laughing….hahah!
