The same points are awarded for both the sprint race and feature race, plus a bonus point for the fastest lap out of both these sessions.
Now, the Inaugral A1 Grand Prix......
It was an excellent race with a lot of action and overtaking and Australia finished 2nd, but Brazil (Nelson Piquet Jr) absolutely dominated.
The pit stops added all the more excitement as they are quite unique in the motorsport world.
If there are any problems with the race is the graphics and timing they give on the broadcast and probably giving the inexperienced drivers a revision of the "blue flag" rules. The problem with this is that sometimes the backmarkers are just as quick as the front runners, but the backmarkers shouldn't be closing the door on a front-runner - as Adam Kahn of Pakisatan was doing. These problems, however, aren't that serious and can be fixed.
Overall, it is an excellent concept that has turned into an exciting and successful reality.
