I was contacted by the DPR’s team two days before the first race of the season in Barcellona, because their official pilot Michael Herk had injured his wrist. So I left for my first experience in GP2. On the Wednesday I arrived on the race track and this day was dedicated to the preparation of the driving position. The start was somehow difficult for me because I had never before tested a GP2 car and I had never been in a 650 horses one seater. At the end the only free practice session lasts only thirty minutes.

QUALIFY
During the qualifications a problem I already had during the free practices came up again and this made it impossible to reach a good final place.

RACE 1
Leaving from behind the lines I cut the arrival in sixteenth place out of twentisix cars.

RACE 2
Leaving from the 16^th place I was out without any problems after the first corner and I was keeping the fourteenth place. Unfortunately arrived to the fourth corner I found an spinned car in the fourth corner and to avoid any contact I ended up out of track, unfortunately in last place. In the following lapses I pushed really hard, but I made a small mistake and ended up spinning.

I’d like to thank the DPR’s team for giving me this opportunity, and I hope to come back to the next race in Instanbul in two weeks time.
