From Formula Master
Jenzer Motorsport's Fabio Leimer claimed today's win in Formula Master's round 13 at Imola; his second victory of the season.
The 19-year-old Swiss passed pole-setter Chris van der Drift at the first corner and led for the remainder of the round, winning the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari's inaugural race since it was renovated.
Despite posting the fastest lap time of the race, 1:38.718, JD Motorsport's Chris van der Drift was unable to regain his position and finished the race in second place.
Formula Master newcomer Esteban Gutierrez got off to a great start, moving from fifth to third by overtaking Iris Project's Michael Ammermüller and ISR's Tim Sandtler on the first lap.
Trident Racing's Gutierrez claimed third place on his first outing for Formula Master, ahead of Euronova Racing's Yuhi Sekiguchi.
All four 2008 titles remain to be won; Van der Drift now leads the Drivers Classification by 17 points ahead of Ammermüller, who finished fifth today, with three races remaining.
