Super Nova - Marcus Ericsson (1st) Josef Kral (DNF)

The teams' Swedish star Marcus Ericsson powered from the lights to win his first ever GP2 race today, in convincing style.

He outpaced poleman Michael Herck at the start to take a lead that would not be relinquished. Marcus dominated the entire race, setting a string of fastest laps on the way to his maiden victory.

Unfortunately team mate Josef Kral had a disastrous race. This concluded a difficult weekend for the young Czech driver, who's car ended up in the wall today following a big accident with a team Arden car. Josef was taken to hospital for an x-ray, but luckily no bones were broken.

The team wish Josef a speedy recovery and are hopeful the next round in Silverstone, can be a success story for both their cars.

Marcus Ericsson: "It was amazing to be standing on top of the podium after this weekend, I mean after Friday I could only dream of winning a race, starting from absolutely last! It shows that you should never give up in the category: anything can happen, and if you have a good car and the team's doing a good job then you can do anything! The two races were amazing: yesterday was a perfect race and the team did a perfect job in the pits. This morning I was really focused at the start, and I said 'I'm going to take this!' And I did a good start, I managed to overtake Michael into turn one, and then obviously there was a big crash after the start with Josef involved, and the most important thing is that Josef is okay, no matter what the result was. But to take the first points for Super Nova was super great. It's been a steep learning curve, but I hope this will be the turning point for the season, and we can now fight for more podiums and victories. That's what we're here for."

David Sears Team Principal: "Marcus Ericsson made a fantastic start and went on to lead the race today from start to finish. It's his first GP2 win and the whole team are ecstatic! Hopefully this win will give Marcus the confidence to run at the front from now on.

In contrast Josef Kral had a massive accident where he ended up flying over Rodolfo Gonzalez's car at the end of the pit straight and ended up in the pit wall. There were fears he had broken his back, but an x-ray at the hospital shows just bruising. We of course wish him a quick recovery. In the meantime the team will have to rebuild a whole new car ready for Silverstone"

Racing Engineering - Dani Clos (7th) Christian Vietoris: (DNF)

Racing Engineering had a difficult day at the Valencia Street Circuit today, where despite all the efforts made by the whole team, no points were scored. Dani Clos, who started in fourth position, finished in seventh place, whilst Christian Vietoris had to retire after colliding during the first lap of the race.

Sunday's sprint race at the Valencia Street Circuit started with Herck on pole position, Dani Clos in fourth and Christian Vietoris in twelfth. At the start, Ericsson overtook Herck for the lead, and Dani was running in third, about to overtake van der Garde, who forced the Spaniard to go off track in order to avoid contact between the two cars. Having lost some ground, Pic also took advantage and passed Dani. Further behind Christian Vietoris was late on the brakes with cold tyres and collided with Bianchi in turn 2, ending their race at that point.

On the third lap, there was a massive accident in which Kral's car became airborne, causing the safety car to be deployed and neutralize the race.

The race was restarted at the end of the eighth lap and Dani Clos lost a position to Maldonado, who took his chance when the Spaniard was held up by Pic, who was on his brakes very early. On the following lap, Valsecchi overtook the Spanish driver at the end of the main straight and Razia sneaked through as well, when Dani opened the gap.

During the closing stages of the race d'Ambrosio tried an overeager move on Dani, which the Spaniard from Racing Engineering was able to dodge. The Belgian took Razia out of the race and Dani passed both, climbing back into seventh position. Dani then immediately saw his chance to score a point and set his fastest lap times and closed in on Valsecchi, who was running in sixth. But the race finished after 45 minutes, leaving the Spaniard less than six tenths of a second from finishing in the points.

Even though no points were achieved today, Dani will enter the next round of the 2010 GP2 Series, which will take place in Silverstone from the 9th to the 11th of July, still in second place of the drivers' championship.

Dani Clos: "I had a good start, moved up to third and was parallel to van der Garde. But then he made a strange move and I needed to cut the chicane to avoid a collision. I got back on track running slower than the rest, so Pic overtook me as well. After the safety car period, Pic was braking very early in front of me, slowing me down and pushing me to the outside, something Maldonado immediately took advantage of. I then made some decisions in order to avoid contact with other cars and finished in 7th position which doesn't really help with the championship. But we brought our car home in one piece and we are aiming for good results at Silverstone now."

Christian Vietoris: "The formation lap was quite slow today and I wasn't able to get my tyres up to temperature. With tyres too cool, I was braking too late into the second corner and crashed into Bianchi. I am sorry for both of us for not being able to continue. It's a pity. This was not a good weekend for me."
