Fat Burner Racing Engineering - Lucas Di Grassi (1st) Dani Clos (7th)

Fat Burner Racing Engineering's Lucas Di Grassi claimed his first victory of the season today at Istanbul Park after leading the GP2 sprint race from start to finish. His teammate Dani Clos came close to get his first points of the season, but had to settle for 7th.

Both Fat Burner Racing Engineering drivers had great races at Istanbul Park this morning. Lucas, starting from pole position, kept his place at the start and led the field into turn 1. He then proceeded to keep out of reach the others for the rest of the race. Dani, on the other hand, once again, convinced with a superb start from 12th which saw him gaining five positions.

During the 23 lap race, Lucas kept a steady pace and was soon setting the best lap times, opening a gap that none of the other drivers were able to reduce. With no one in front, the Brazilian driver cruised home to get his first win of the 2009 season. After a couple of intense opening laps, Dani completed a trouble free race showing a steady and competitive rhythm, making the best out of a weekend which starting off on the wrong foot. The Spanish driver was able to finish Sunday's race in 7th position, just one place from scoring his first points in GP2.

Lucas Di Grassi: I am very happy! For the first time since the season started everything went fine. After yesterday's race with a lot of action, everything was really perfect today. The team did a brilliant job and the car was very good. Now I am looking forward to more wins this season!

Dani Clos: I made a really good start and had a great position to approach the first corner. The opening laps of the race were quite intense and afterwards nobody made a mistake. We were all running at more or less the same speed, so there was no possibility to overtake, but I could maintain my position as well. Overall this was a tough weekend for me with what happened on Friday, but we were able to make the best out of it. I am happy with the performance in both races. Although we weren't able to start the weekend as expected, everything went fine on Saturday and Sunday. I am really happy with the team and already looking forward to the next races at Silverstone.

Alfonso de Orleans-Borbon, Team's President: Well done! This was a fantastic race from Lucas and the first of many wins of the season. I would also like to congratulate Dani for finishing 7th after starting Saturday's race from last position. He raced brilliantly and I hope to see more from him during the season. Thanks also to all the boys for having made these results possible, for their great work, which was once more impeccable.

Trident Racing - Davide Rigon (8th) Ricardo Texeira (18th)

Trident Racing brought both cars to the finish also in the second race of the Turkish GP2 Main Series weekend at Istanbul Park. Davide Rigon came once again close to a points spot, as he confirmed his progress with a positive 8th place. Ricardo Teixeira showed real progress too, as he ended up in 18th without big mistakes or technical issues. As the Turkey round got completed without an hitch, Trident Racing is really looking forward to the next round of the 2009 season, at Silverstone, in a two-week time.

Ricardo Texeira: "After the good race I had yesterday, I wasn't able to get the same feeling with the racecar. The start was fine though, I climbed up a little bit and I even came close to Alvaro Parente, who was sitting in 12th. Then I made a small error at turn 8 and lost 3 spots, but aside that I struggled with the car in the first half of the race. When tires started to wear off, the balance began to improve, as my laptimes did. I'm waiting with impatience the next round at Silverstone. I raced there in Formula 3, though it was the shorter configuration. I'll still have to learn some corners, but it'll all be more familiar"

Davide Rigon: "I made a quite good start, even though I had to brake hard at the first corner due to a contact between Filippi, Valsecchi and Zuber. I lost a spot to Clos, and despite my effort to get back in his slipstream, I couldn't find the right conditions to attack him. It's been a pretty regular race, with several less incidents than happened yesterday. I'm looking forward to the Silverstone race with a lot of confidence. I know the track well, despite having not raced there on an open-wheel car yet. I entered the 2008 FIA GT race there, running under the rain, but I'll still count on a bigger experience margin than here at Istanbul."

Ocean Racing Technology - Alvaro Parente (10th) Karun Chandhok (14th)

Alvaro Parente and Karun Chandhok once again showed that Ocean Racing Technology is one of the fastest teams in the GP2 Main Series during race two at Istanbul park in turkey on Sunday, but alas, their positions on the starting grid were too far down the field to enable them to secure any points.
