He took high risk by hitting Canadian rider to get 1st position, and he succeed pass it very well! Good Job...

A1 Team Malaysia's first victory of the new A1GP season in the Sprint race at Brno, Czech Republic today was followed with a second win in the longer Feature race, a double celebration for Alex Yoong and his Malaysian crew.

Yoong's Sprint race win and fastest race lap earned him pole position for the 38 lap Feature race. The standing start saw the field of A1GP cars representing 23 nations from around the world race to the first corner, up to five abreast. In the frenetic opening ection Yoong was pushed wide allowing the Canadian car to take the lead. Both countries held position until the round of pitstops, and after the window allowed for the tyre change Yoong still lay in second place.

Yoong said after the two races, "It's been a fantastic weekend. After Zandvoort I knew we needed to have to score a few points here to get our championship started, and we went ahead and did it. To be honest I didn't expect it, because we did have quite a few problems in the Netherlands. We started slow on Friday, struggling a bit, but the car just got better and better, I could attack and that made a difference today.

I had a few attempts at overtaking Canada before I made it stick, but he got on the dirty stuff and I could see he was struggling. He'd done well up until then, but he ran wide and I dived up the inside. We both could have made it round the corner, but he turned in, trying to close the door, but I was already alongside and we made contact. That's motor racing, we're happy with the double win. Let's hope this success fills the stands in Sepang. We've done well on a track we don't know, wait until we get to one that we do know!"

Emang siapa sih Alex Yoong?

Alex Yoong (熊龍, pinyin: Xióng Lóng, born July 20, 1976) is a Malaysian race car driver. He was born in Kuala Lumpur and of mixed parentage - his mother Joanna Bean is from England, while his father, a Malaysian with Chinese ethnic roots is Hanifah Yoong Yin Fah, a former racer and manager of the Shah Alam circuit between 1988 and 1998.

After the 2005/06 A1GP, Yoong raced in the 2006 Le Mans Series as well as the 2006 Le Mans 24 Hrs for Jan Lammers, the A1 Team Netherlands seat holder. Yoong was very competitive, holding third position in Lammers' Dome-Judd when the throttle stuck, sending the car into the wall at the first chicane on the Mulsanne straight and breaking both steering arms.

Gimana nih dengan Ananda? Well... Gw masih appreciate apa yang telah lakukan Ananda di dunia balap untuk mengharumkan nama Indonesia tercinta.
Maybe Ananda should learn more from Alex how to win A1 GP. I know it is not easy at all, but if Malay could win, why can't Indo?
