They came to Romania determined to make up for their poor start to the season before their home race in Monza: for Andrea Bertolini and Andrea Piccini, it was a case of Mission Accomplished today! In wet conditions on the street circuit, the nr 11 Scuderia Playteam Sarafree Maserati MC 12 finished 39 seconds ahead of the nr 7 All-Inkl.com Lamborghini Murciélago and a minute ahead of the nr 2 Vitaphone Maserati of Montanari and Ramos. “I am really, really happy,” reigning Champion Bertolini said afterwards. “We had a very bad start to the season, and this was our last possibility to come back for the Championship. As you can imagine, we pushed a lot for the title, and the points are now very close.
This was race was very important for the whole team. It is a very young team, but very motivated, and we have good support from Pirelli. I think the reason we won today was because of the tyres.” Andrea Piccini added : “I would like to thank the Bucharest organisation. They really did a great job. It cannot be easy to organise such an event, in the first year, and despite the difficult conditions, we only needed to get the safety car out once. They moved the cars out of the way really quickly and did a great job, and we would like to thank them all.”
