JAKARTA (JP): A thrilled Alex Yoong of Malaysia took his first
Formula victory in commanding style in Zhuhai, China, yesterday.

In front of a crowd of 100,000 spectators, the 18-year-old
Yoong showed his formidable driving talent, negotiating the
testing street circuit with skill and maturity.

Yoong finished 0.22 second ahead of Stanley Iriawan of
Indonesia, with Akbar Ebrahim of India finishing third.

Stanley of the Humpuss Racing Team (HRT) became the only
Indonesian to stand at the winners' podium in the final leg of
the Formula Asia championship. Indonesia's ace driver, Roy
Haryanto, winner of the previous leg in Malaysia, failed to reach
the finish due to a slide at the second curve. (icn)
