A1 Team Canada secured its first ever Sprint race victory in this morning's action-packed race held around the streets of Durban in glorious sunshine.
Switzerland regained the title lead as France failed to score any points and New Zealand picked up one point for setting the fastest lap.
Eighteen-year-old rookie Robert Wickens, the youngest ever pole-sitter in A1GP, got a good start. He was hit from behind by New Zealand's Jonny Reid at the first turn, losing his five second lead due to a safety car period towards the end of the thrilling 15-lap race.
However, Wickens managed to keep Great Britain and Switzerland behind him to take Canada's maiden Sprint race victory and the first win of his A1GP career.
