Another dominating performance of Richards, fourth win in a row. Francevic, still on unsuitable tires, was careful with his rubber and only at the end of the race he got into attack mode. He just missed out in catching Richards, and in fact the cooling effect of the rain might have allowed a more aggresive driving style throughout the race, but still the result was satisfying.
