Race

Monza really is the track where Michal is unbeatable, his third Monza win in three years clearly shows that. Team-mate Oliver was in a much better shape than at Spa, however, and so Michal's race wasn't as clear as the one before. Jan Svehlik narrowly missed out on the podium, but although he was close behind Alan for the last laps, he didn't manage to overtake the Team Ecosse driver once.

If there still was doubt who will win the constructor's title this season, Markus Kruggel's early retirement and Digitech winning maximum points for round 12 of the championship should have eleminated that. Wild 13 lost 162 points on Digitech and nearly the last hypothetical chance to get ahead of last year's winning team.
