With 11th spot and Patano banned from the race Bruno Senna could take revenge on the stolen victory.

Like yesterday it started to rain just before the start. This time it was not so heavy so the drives could hold their slicks on.

At the start Karun Chandhok was touched by Sakon Yamamotto. Both could go on but lost alot of places.

Bruno Senna was fighting his way up through the field. In lap 5 the Safty Car had to come out again because  Alberto Valerio went off.

One lap later Alvaro Parente, who was on the podium yesterday had a huge lock up in the Bus Stop Chichane and his race was over as well.

It was cold that morning and the brakes on the GP2 cars were cooling down. Just one lap back into the race Bruno Senna had a moment at the Bus Stop Chichane, attempted to avoid a crash with Buemi, went on the curbs and damaged the car to much to continue.

After the race Bruno told it was better to lose 1 point from 6th place than making a crash and have penalty for the next race.

The race went on and while Asmer, Filippi and Soucek also didn’t drove the full race distance it was Maldonado who made a great move in the final stages of the race on D’Ambrosio for the lead.

A good weekend for Maldonado and a horrible weekend for Isport, Bruno Senna, Giorgio Pantano and Andreas Zuber.

Podium:

1) Maldonado
2) D’Ambrosio
3) Petrov
