Overview[]
The S5 - Italian Grand Prix was the thirteenth race of Masters Season 5.
Report[]
Such was the lead that Maestro Motorsport had in the constructors championship that they had the opportunity to clinch it in this race. They needed to score four more points than M-Sport in order to do so, and in qualifying, they secured yet another front row lockout, although it was Lewis Hamilton who took pole position this time around. One oddity was Felipe Massa, who had qualified last.
The was yet another Maestro massacre as Hamilton and Fernando Alonso battled for the win, with the Brit coming out on top. His win moved him ahead of Alonso in the drivers championship, and the 1-2 finish helped Maestro secure back-to-back constructors championships. Finishing 3rd was the super-consistent Ayrton Senna. Elsewhere, the contributions from Maestro, Dodgem, and Super Alex had helped Honda win their first engine trophy.
