Brands Hatch will prove the settling ground for the destiny of the 2007/08 A1GP laurels, after Jani lucks out in Chinese feature race.

“Shifting down before the hairpin, which we approach at 290 km/h, was particularly bad. The rear wheels locked up when we left out a gear.”

Nevertheless, with a solid 29-point advantage over New Zealand and France now out of the running, Switzerland remain overwhelming favourites to clinch the crown on British soil in just under three weeks' time – though Max Welti is adamant that after the outfit's Chinese surprise, nothing will be taken for granted.

“We have seen once more that there are always many unexpected things in racing,” the team principal admitted. “Now we will have to be patient until Brands Hatch, but Neel did a good job, even with a blunt weapon.”
