Well, for the driver who began his real racing career in teenage in Lada Sputnik Cup Vitaly did a great job.
It was vitally for him to make it out as he had really bad press here in Russia. Almost after all his races a lot of 'experts' appeared and began talking about how he shames the whole country.
Vitaly's weakest point - he has almost no karting career at all. Plus there was an enormous pressure all the season. During the latest race I suppose there was no pressure at all and the fact that Kubica was beaten in qualify gave Petrov more confidence and more fresh air. Vitaly could race for pleasure and when you are doing something with pleasure it usually gets only better.
