A1GP Drivers Nominated for Indonesian Round

Written by Marc Boland · February 10, 2006

A1 Team France heads to the eighth round of the new A1 Grand Prix Series in Sentul Indonesia aiming to increase its lead in the championship. The team claimed 13 points in the last race in South Africa, consolidating its lead in the championship on 119 points. Nicolas Lapierre will be back behind the wheel of the French car in Indonesia aiming to take the team’s eleventh and twelfth wins of the season.


The first driver listed for each team is the primary driver. Russia again will be missing this round and continues its “reorganization.”

There are conflicting reports as to whether Team India will compete this weekend. Although 16 year old Armaan Ebrahim has been slated to drive some reports say the team is for sale and may not be on the grid.

Team Australia adds a new driver to its roster this week with the addition of Marcus Marshall. He will be the backup for 2004 Asian F3 Champion Christian Jones and son of former F1 star Alan Jones. Marshall takes over for Will Davison for this meeting and two of the three other remaining rounds, in Monterrey, Mexico and Laguna Seca, USA.

And finally, Christian Fittipaldi, nephew of F1 Champion Emerson Fittipaldi and a former Formula One driver, will drive for the Brazil team for the final four events on the A1GP schedule.
