USA picks Summerton for Zhuhai

Jonathan Summerton

Jonathan Summerton will again race for A1 Team USA in Zhuhai, China this weekend, after scoring the team’s first point of the season last time out.

Summerton secured tenth in Malaysia’s Feature race, raising hope that the squad’s disappointing start to the season was at an end.

‘We want to score points in both the Sprint and the Feature races this weekend,’ Summerton said. ‘It's an achievable goal for our team. We've been in the points in 50 per cent of our races together and we want to increase it considerably in the remaining seven events this season.

‘We're going for two podiums at Zhuhai and, at the very least, we want to improve our finishes from Malaysia.’

Charlie Kimball will again act as the team’s rookie, as he has all season.

‘Jonathan and I have similar ideas on how to set up the car and I can help establish a baseline on the 'We the People' car to give the team and Jonathan a good start to the weekend,’ Kimball said.
