Jean-Karl Vernay Finishes The Feature Race Despite Flying Off In The First Lap



A1 Team France’s Jean-Karl VERNAY - did not finish his first sprint race in Mexico despite excellent qualifying for his first event the 15-lap long sprint-race. In the 45 lap-long feature race Jean-Karl VERNAY’s effort were stopped by an accident with New Zealand, at the start, but he spectacularly managed to finish the race despite the incident.

Jean-Karl VERNAY says: “It was a tough start from the sprint race. I was surprised at the pace. As the cars pulled off the grid the action began and Junqueira passed me. It went quick: Mexico and

Brazil collided. Germany and Brazil were forced into early retirement. Then I resisted and was third. Australia came from behind. I did not want to let it go. I was the next victim. This also means a disappointing result for me despite my qualifying fifth in my first A1GP weekend. I do not know what happened, and then that was it, I spun. I only completed two laps but the car is not damaged which is the main thing so I can start for the feature race. The feature race will be long and physical. I will start way back in 19th, sort of sandwiched between Mexico Salvador Duran with Brazil and Germany next to me just like in the sprint race. ”
