Season best qualifying for Germany

On his debut for A1 Team Germany in Malaysia, Michael Ammermüller recorded the team's best qualifying result of the season. After claiming fourth and third starting positions the 21-year old racing driver from Pocking close to Passau will start both the sprint and feature races from the second row on this, the third race weekend of the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport. 

"This is a result that I'm pleased with," said Ammermüller. "I still wasn't on the limit with new tyres in the first run. I pushed a little harder and took a few more risks on the new tyres and improved my time in the second run. I made the third timed lap on used tyres. I took new tyres again for the final attempt and did my best qualifying lap. Second on the grid could have been possible if I'd taken a few more risks. My team improved the car constantly with small changes to the aerodynamic balance between the individual sessions. With a good car I think we have potential in both races on Sunday. I hope that I can reward the entire team with a good result."
