Malaysia secured a popular double victory in the second round of the A1 Grand Prix Championship at Brno after Alex Yoong pulled off a late decisive move on long time leaders Canada to claim a clear feature race win.
It is a result that sees Malaysia leap up to third in the championship, the team recovering from their barren opening weekend at Zandvoort with a confident performance in the 38 lap race to go with their victory in the sprint event.
Tomas Enge thrilled home fans with an impressive drive to second place in his Czech Republic entry, while the ever consistent Salvador Duran secured his second podium in four races for Mexico.
With Malaysia leading Canada on the grid by virtue of the points system that decides the feature race grid based of qualifying time, sprint race result and fastest lap, it was second place James Hinchcliffe who got the better of Yoong from the standing start, sweeping across into the lead, closely followed by Malaysia, while France prevailed in a four abreast tussle into turn one with Mexico, Czech Republic and China.
However, Lapierre's hopes of claiming France's first win of the season came to a halt midway round the first lap when he slowed dramatically and pulled into the pits to retire from the race.
Mexico therefore inherited third, ahead of USA, Czech Republic and China, while Great Britain, Netherlands, Brazil and New Zealand rounded out the top ten at the end of lap two.
Indeed, Germany's Nico Hulkenberg had managed to get himself into ninth early on but slipped back behind New Zealand's Jonny Reid, the duo going on to embark on an exciting battle, made all the more interesting after their controversial coming together as they led into the first corner of the sprint race.
