Davide Valsecchi won the sprint race at Shanghai quite comfortably from Earl Bamber.

Javier Villa was third ahead of Chris van der Drift, Jerome D’Amrosio and Roldan Rodriguez. Rodriguez holds the lead in the championship having won yesterday’s race, with Kamui Kobayashi failing to score after retiring with damage.

James Jakes impressed with a strong drive from the back of the grid to claim 11th.

Roldan Rodriguez lost the lead of the GP2 Asia feature race at Shanghai on the first lap, as Kamui Kobayashi dived past him at the hairpin.

But he took the lead back five laps from the flag as Kobayashi ran wide at turn one. Read more…

Here’s a run-down of the confirmed teams and drivers so far: Read more…

Nico Hülkenberg captured the 2008 Formula Thre Euroseries championship in a less than inspiring fashion. He failed to get away at the start of the first race at Le Mans in France this weekend, and fell to the back of the field.

Davide Valsecchi won the sprint race at Monza - one week after being hospitalised in a huge crash at Spa-Francorchamps.

The Italian passed early leader Roldan Rodriguez to claim the win on home ground. He gambled on a setup geared towards dry weather in a race which started on a damp circuit that dried out.

Bruno Senna secured second place in the championship after rival Lucas di Grassi was given a drive-through penalty for crashing into Mike Conway.

Giorgio Pantano won the GP2 championship in the feature race at Monza today despite losing his win due to a drive-through penalty.

The Italian driver led most of the race on a wet but drying track. However after making his mandatory pit stop he crossed the white line at the pit lane exit and was shortly given a drive-through penalty.

Despite losing the lead and dropping out of the points Bruno Senna was only able to finish fifth - not high enough to beat Pantano to the title. Read more…
