Press Releases - Most A1 Wins last season (Russia's streak)
Most A1 Wins last season (Russia's streak)
You are looking last seasons most must seen driver in the game as Vadim Matveyev took 9 A1 wins last season, which is the most wins any driver had last season, which also includes 3 Double wins in a weekend.
The season was solid but 3 retirements in a row at one point costed the 1st place in Standings, but was enough to secure 4th position, but also great to know that my performance in Magny Course made sure we secured another title, when in last corner of last lap overtook the Frenchmen, it is team result of course but feels awesome knowing that it was down on my performance in that race where we sealed the title, when I personally humiliated French crowd in their home race, overtaking in last corner of last lap their driver to win.
If 1 year ago you would have asked that did I think I was going to be Russia's number one scorer, championship decider, driver with most A1 wins .. I would have said yes. In Finland I would have never reached the potential I know I have possibility to achieve, personal thank you to Novikov for helping and standing by even in hard times, and not only to me but to other drivers as well. True leader gets everything from his drivers, even in hard situations.
Today starts new season in A1, and unfortunately can't join because of the age restrictions, but Iwill be watching because I know speculations are that our team is not so strong because of the lack of young drivers, but I still know that after this season sentence is this. RUSSIA IS 14x TIME A1 WORLD CHAMPION.
This is one of those rare streaks that still exist in the world. Undertakers Wrestlemania streak was broken, Boston Celtics legendary 11-0 streak in NBA was broken 1955-1966. We could go on and on with great streaks in this planet, but one fact remains, our winning streak is still alive.
