He then went on to impress even more in the category's EuroCup taking two wins, two poles and two fastest laps from only three events (and retired from the lead of the other).

2nd in the 2005 championship and the only thing that stopped him was an unreliable car. With a decent car under him he should be champion in 2006, let's look forward to a battle between at least himself and Fernando and perhaps even Michael Schumacher...
