Proving he is more than capable of beating 3 ex F1 Drivers and some of the most skilled drivers in the world Summerton won the Feature in A1GP Shanghai. Putting USA in P1 for the first time ever. Even before Jani has gear problems Summerton was leaving him

I was afraid that Summerton would e penalized on the incident in the sprint race with New Zealand. Score 1 for the USA.

If you watched the start of the sprint race Johnny Reid moved over to the left causing the incident

100%

He was pulling away and honestly Jani is good, but I don't think he would have caught him, John didn't even use any of his power to pass.... and was still pushing on the final lap.
