Bogdan Wins for Ferrari!
After a brilliant duel between Caramidaru Bogdan and Giorgos Davakos, Ferrari driver managed to get the victory. From the start to the finish two drivers clashed like Bulls.
Behind them, surprising all, Matthew Gutteridge took the last step of the podium! He was extremely happy and he was jumping like Webber.
For 4th, two Jordan drivers and Mike Bell of Minardi had a tremendous battle. And Bell won this with the 2nd pitstops.
Gardiner and Kapal failed their teams. Hackel went steady and did'nt push himself. It seems team's title is not worthy for him enough.
Duivelaar and Gamberini had a battle for 12 laps. In the end Sauber driver prevailed.

Championship Facts Before the Last Race:
Drivers' 2nd place:
Higgins hold it right now. Only way for Bogdan to obtain it is he will be the last race's winner. As the polesitter, so he gets 15 points. And Higgins take no points. So it seems Higgins has it already. But no one knows what may happen.
Drivers' 4th place:
Kapal, Duivelaar and Davakos will fight for it. Only 5 points seperate those 3. So anything may happen.
Drivers' 7th place:
Clancy, Bell, Gardiner and Gamberini fights for it. Clancy and Bell have a big advantage of 10 points than Gardiner and Gamberini. But a victory with a poleposition may put one of these 4 guys to the 7th place.
Teams' Title:
The most exciting battle of the last race. Ferrari, Jordan and Honk Racing have the chance to get the title. Only 6 points seperate them. At last races Jordan drivers were better than others. And if they continue like this, with the lack of Kapal's support to Ferrari, and Hackel's performance drop, they will get the title. We will see what happens...
Teams' 4th place:
Red Bull and Minardi have a 15 points gap. Very hard to close but if both Minardis secure podium, and Red Bulls have a bad race, things may change.
