A1 Team Switzerland expects to see Neel Jani back in the car at the South African Grand Prix in Durban. Jani was unable to race at Eastern Creek last weekend due to a hand injury.
At Eastern Creek Jani's replacement, Sebastien Buemi, showed a strong performance down under. He said about his race: "I have mixed feelings for the feature race. I would have liked to score more points this weekend. I feel that the course of the race would have been changed if I did not miss the start as I immediately lost a few places. After the start I already reacted in the second hairpin and overtook two cars. Our effort was stopped because the pace car was deployed after Canada's accident. But then after the restart I found my pace."
"We had a bit of trouble at the pit stop with one of the wheel guns and again I lost a few places. After earning three points in Zandvoort and one point in Brno, and nine points in New Zealand I'm pretty happy to have scored another seven point on my first visit to Australia."
