Rosberg wins GP2 series

NEWS STORY
29/09/2005

Nico Rosberg has won the inaugural GP2 Championship.

The German youngster, son of 1982 Formula One World Champion, Keke Rosberg, went to Bahrain with a three-point lead over Heikki Kovalainen, and his own teammate, Alexandre Premat, close behind.

The German won today's race with Premat finishing second ahead of Kovalainen.

With only a maximum of 8 points available for tomorrow's race, Rosberg's 114 points to Kovalainen's 105, is enough to secure the title for the WilliamsF1 test driver.

"I'm so happy," said the German. "It felt as though the race would never end, it's been a tough season, but now all the pressure has disappeared now and I can really enjoy this special moment.

"At the start of the season I didn't know what to expect," he admitted, "the line up of drivers and teams looked very competitive and although I was confident I knew it would be difficult. It was great to get another win under my belt in Bahrain."

"I was pushing flat out the whole way round," said Kovalainen, "but unfortunately we (Arden International) haven't quite been quick enough this season. Congratulations to Nico and his team they deserve their success."
