India finishes 15th in A1 GP

JAKARTA: Sean McIntosh of Canada worked his way from last on the grid on Sunday to win the Indonesian A1 Grand Prix feature race.

Alex Yoong of Malaysia — one of the few drivers with experience of Jakarta's Sentul track — finished second, followed by Australia's Marcus Marshall. Armaan Ebrahim of India finished 15th after coming 18th in the sprint race.

McIntosh credited his win to "persistence" and said that he "pushed as hard as possible".

Yoong described his second place outcome as an "unbelievable result".

The result was an upset for France's Nicolas Lapierre and Robbie Kerr of Great Britain, who started the race at pole and second position respectively after Sunday morning's sprint race. — AP
