Andy Soucek is just one race victory away from taking the inaugural FIA Formula Two Championship and the Spaniard is hoping to wrap things up in Imola this weekend (18/19/20 September).
As F2 arrives in Italy, Soucek holds a commanding 32 point advantage with just four races and 40 available points remaining in the 2009 season. The four-time race winner may not even need to stand on the top step of the rostrum to take the crown, but Soucek is determined to win the championship in style.
"I would love to win the championship in Imola and I would like to do it with a victory," said Soucek. "Of course, I have to finish in front of my rivals here to take the title, but it will not feel as good if I am not at least on the podium. I will push as hard as always to try and score more wins in F2.
"Imola has a lot of history and although I have never raced at this circuit, I am sure it is going to be an incredible experience. My Dad competed there in the past and he has told me a lot about the place. If I can do it this weekend then I can really enjoy the final round in my home country when we race in Barcelona."
