We're pushing to win a championship and it's not the only time that this driver has caused incidents, doing the same thing to New Zealand later in the race. That's cost us the championship points lead that we fought so hard to create. We were on course to consolidate our points lead today but for a piece of poor driving. A1 Team Malaysia is one of the very best in A1GP, but today their driver has cost us dearly. Mark Gallagher, A1 Team Ireland team principal It's understandable that A1 Team Ireland was feeling emotional and frustrated after this incident, considering also that they lost the lead in the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport. However, to blame Fairuz for the incident is unfair and we think the Irish team should stick to trying to win races rather than blaming others for their misfortune. A1 Team Ireland is a highly respected team, but on this occasion their comments are ill-judged. Jack Cunningham, A1 Team Malaysia chief executive Notes It was the 37th race weekend (74 starts). It was the 4th race in South Africa but the first at Kyalami. Records: It was the first ever pole position for MON 15px Monaco and Clivio Piccione. It was the first ever podium for MON 15px Monaco and Clivio Piccione. SUI 15px Switzerland's win in the feature race was driver Neel Jani's ninth in A1 Grand Prix, tying the record held by Nico Hülkenberg. LIB 15px Lebanon recorded the best finish in their history thanks to Daniel Morad's sixth in the feature race.
