In the official website report it says that van der Zande dropped back in the second race because he had a puncture. In the report on autosport.com it refers to the astroturf that zip is talking about. I've given you my version; it's up to you to decide which you believe.
On a brighter note, Ricciardo's win was the second in succession for a Red Bull-sponsored, Carlin Motorsport-entered driver, also the first by an Australian since David Brabham in 1989.
Finally, it was the first win for Volkswagen in a major F3 Championship, so congratulations all round.
Brands will be interesting, because with the title secured I think you will see Ricciardo let off the leash. For the last few races he has been thinking about making sure of winning the title, which is a very smart approach, but that's done now.
