FORMULA MASTER ROUND 15 - MONZA
JD Motorsport's Chris van der Drift won the 2008 Formula Master title today in Monza; although it was Jenzer Motorsport's Fabio Leimer that claimed the victory in the Series' round 15.
Both van der Drift and Leimer fought for the lead throughout the race, passing each other on several occasions, with Leimer eventually taking the win; his third of the season.
Newcomer Mihai Marinescu secured third place with team Pro Motorsport on his first weekend in Formula Master.
Chris van der Drift, JD Motorsport - 2008 Formula Master Winner
"It's absolutely amazing! It's my first year as champion after four years of racing in European championships. The season has been so good; the team has done really well. We took pole position seven times during the season, it's a pity I didn't get it in Estoril as well to make it all eight!"
Fabio Leimer, Jenzer Motorsport
"We had an amazing race and I'm really happy to have moved in front of Michael [Ammermüller] in the classification. I was worried about starting in third but Yuhi [Sekiguchi] didn't have a good start so that was ok. The rest of the race was between Chris [van der Drift] and I, so I made the most of the restarts after each safety car period and managed to take the win!"
