France make it eight in a row

Alexandre Premat won both races at Sepang in Malaysia to tighten France’s grip on the A1 Grand Prix championship as Robbie Kerr was left cursing Great Britain’s bad luck.

Premat, who has alternated the French drive with Nicolas Lapierre, made it eight consecutive wins for his country, who now lead the series by an imposing 27 points from Switzerland and Neel Jani.
