Formula Two Finale - P3 in final race, Robert 2nd overall in Championship
Recovers from a bad day on Saturday to finish on podium on Sunday
(2009.11.01) The race on Saturday did not go as hoped for Robert when he would retire after just four laps with a mechanical problem that showed up on the formation lap. Not the best thing to happen in the tight battle to retain second overall in the championship which comes with the awarding of an FIA Super Licence.

Robert recovered in today's race and would finish third - and ahead of his chief rivals, to hold on to second in the series championship. Robert was starting from pole - his record-setting fifth of the season, but fell off to third where he stayed for the remainder of the race.

Congratulations Robert on your achievements in 2009: Five poles, Six Podiums (including two victories)
