That was a surprising qualifying. The two Scicilias, which couldn't get any good results until now were in the front row, followed by the two Caccere (4 italian cars! How did GP2 know that? :) ) and the two Nightwolfs.
At the start, Verstappen dropped to 5th, so I was 2nd, followed by Craig. I was slower than him and I've almost got past. But Vertappen was coming too fast from behind and I could get alway as they fought.
Then my pace became better and I could stand 1 second ahead of Verstappen for some laps. But soon he was faster again, and after a mistake of mine, he was 1 or two tenths behind my at the first pit stop.
I was very luck at the pits, as Verstappen has had problems with backmarkers and lost too much time, losing his position to Craig.
He tried to have it back but at lap 26 his engine failed.
Everything looked fine to me. I was second with 4 seconds ahead of Craig. I was a little faster than him and almost as fast as the leader Pantano, but I did have a transmission problem at lap 29 and my race was over.
Pantano has won easily, with Richards in second place and championship leader Zuber on third.
