“We're very proud that A1 Team USA has taken its first win in the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport,” underlined Weidinger. “It's an awesome achievement for our team, and we're thrilled to have done it representing the USA in an international racing series. This win is the first of many to come.

“It's unfortunate that we were taken out at the start of the sprint race – that cost us valuable points, but we showed our resilience in putting the ‘We The People' car back into winning shape. The hard work of our team, led by team manager Marc Lawrence and race engineer Leon Gutfreund, was rewarded and Jonathan drove very well.

“We have been patient and taken our time to develop Jonathan and it seemed to pay off for us. Our single focus now is to get into the top ten in the championship at Brands Hatch on May 4.”
