A1GP: A1 Team Malaysia Quotes From Sepang

Great support from Malaysians

Fairuz Fauzy: "I had a good race out there today, equalling my best result in the Series so far. We have a good car, and I think there are a few improvements we can make for Alex; he'll start from eighth, so he'll be towards the front of the grid, which should give us a good start."

Alex Yoong: "It was an exciting race. I had a really good start. I think I could have been third or fourth but unfortunately Brazil stalled in front of me and I had to get right off the throttle, but we were still sixth and looking good. I was happy with our race pace today. I could be aggressive with the car, I could attack. I overtook New Zealand , but then they got me back in the pitstop, so I had to overtake him again. I was working hard to close down on Italy which I was starting to do, but then when I was pushing hard and the rain started I made a small mistake and I ran wide into the gravel. New Zealand overtook me again, so I had to take him which I did on the last lap. All in all, I'm pleased with fifth and I think we've shown today we have the pace to be on the podium. That must be our target from now on."

Jack Cunningham (Team Principal): "Alex and Fairuz did a superb job for us today. I would like to congratulate them on their excellent performances. I would though especially like to thank the fans of the Team who came to Sepang today. They have been truly wonderful in their support - I hope they realised as they left the circuit how appreciative we were of their encouragement. I have no doubt that our 5th place was the result of the impact of the fans constant encouragement of Alex throughout the hour-long race. It's been a busy week for us here in Kuala Lumpur, but I think we've brought to the city an exciting new motor racing series, which has everything the fans want - close racing, plenty of thrills and spills, entertainment and the chance to meet their favourite drivers. I hope that the fans enjoyed their visit to Sepang as much as we have."
