Bahrain: DAMS GP2 Asia Sprint Race Recap
This weekend, DAMS raced in the fourth and last round of the 2009-2010 Asian GP2 Series on the Sakhir circuit (Kingdom of Bahrain), whose layout has been modified for the F1 Grand Prix. An additional section consisting of eight corners has been added, making the track even tougher and more demanding on both drivers and tyres.
The team was determined to finish the season on a high note, and after finding the right setup in the previous round, its aim was to fight at the front. Unfortunately, poor qualifying dashed its hopes of victory, as starting from fourteenth and seventeenth places on the grid, fighting for the podium looked a very difficult challenge.

Manche 4, Bahrein : Un Final En Demi Teinte !
DAMS a disputé ce week-end le quatrième et dernier round du championnat GP2 Asia 2009-2010, à Bahreïn, sur le circuit de Sakhir, dont le tracé a été modifié à l'occasion du Grand Prix de F1. Une section supplémentaire de huit virages a en effet été ajoutée, rendant le circuit encore plus exigeant envers les pilotes et les pneumatiques.
L'équipe avait à cœur de terminer la saison sur une bonne performance et, après les réglages efficaces trouvés lors de la manche précédente, s'était fixé comme objectif de jouer les premiers rôles. Malheureusement, des qualifications difficiles ont hypothéqué les chances de victoire : en partant des 14ème et 17ème places de la grille, il devenait difficile d'envisager se battre pour un podium.

Bahrain: Arden GP2 Asia Sprint Race Recap
Javier Villa nurtured high hopes of ending his GP2 Asia Series on a winning note in today’s Bahrain sprint race, but the Arden driver’s victory chances were compromised within moments of the start. The Spaniard was slow away from the front row of the grid and the following drivers swamped him immediately. That dropped him to the lower reaches of the top eight, where he spent several laps waging a fierce duel against several rivals – including team-mate Charles Pic.

Bahrain: Scuderia Coloni GP2 Asia Sprint Race Recap
Scuderia Coloni’s GP2 Asia campaign ended on a high: at the end of Bahrain’s Race 2, the last one for this asian season, the Italian team hailed the third place finish clinched by Alvaro Parente. Getting on the podium was the icing of the cake for a great weekend, in which the team performance got better and better day after day, with the number 24 Coloni car always among the top runners. After finishing 4th in yesterday’s Feature race, Parente started from the fifth spot of the reversed grid for the Sprint race: Alvaro did a perfect start, overtaking Villa and taking 3rd place behind Ricci and Bird, and ahead of the Asia Series Champion, Davide Valsecchi.

Bahrain: Scuderia Coloni GP2 Asia Feature Race Recap
The first race of the GP2 Asia Series last event, in Bahrain, was really good for Scuderia Coloni and Alvaro Parente. The Portuguese driver, starting from the 5th spot on the grid, drove a perfect race indeed, finishing fourth just 1"8 adrift of the podium. At the start, Parente took advantage of the empty spot in front of him (Turvey started from the pit-lane) and drove aggressively, putting pressure on 3rd placed Charles Pic. From then on, Alvaro kept the same pace of the leader, Filippi, maintaining the gap from the drivers in front of him and easily keeping an eye on those behind him. Only after the mandatory pit-stop, at lap 9, Jules Bianchi started gaining some ground, and then managed to close the gap. Parente, anyway, managed the pressure from the Frenchman in the best possible way, building back a reassuring gap as soon as Bianchi had to cope with tyre degradation woes, while Alvaro’s tyres where still ok thanks to the perfect set-up chosen by the team.

Bahrain: Arden GP2 Asia Feature Race Recap
Today’s GP2 Asia Series race didn’t yield quite the fruits Arden had anticipated, but the team delivered a strong performance nevertheless – and there were unforeseen benefits. A combination of factors dropped Charles Pic and Javier Villa from second and sixth to third and ninth during the course of the opening lap. Apart from the inevitable fluctuations prompted by the mandatory tyre stops, Pic remained there for the race’s duration to add yet another podium finish to an impressive run of recent results. Villa recovered well to finish seventh – a result that puts him second on the grid for tomorrow morning’s sprint race.

Bahrain: MalaysiaQI-MeritusMahara.com GP2 Feature Race Recap - 'Dream Win'
It was a dream win for the team after he led from start to finish with his team-mate Alexander Rossi finishing 11th place after working his way up from 20th place and a brillant drive. The team is hoping to repeat their performance in the final second race of the final weekend of the GP2 Asia Season in Bahrain tomorrow .
It was a perfect race when Luca Filippi (20) led of the start line without being headed despite a safety car period. Luca Filippi loves Bahrain and the Bahrain circuit for good reasons. The Italian won from pole in 2007 and repeated his performance yesterday.

Bahrain: Arden GP2 Asia Qualifying Recap
Arden drivers Charles Pic and Javier Villa made an encouraging start to the GP2 Asia Series finale at the Sakhir International Circuit, Bahrain. The circuit might have changed since the team raced here a fortnight ago – a half-mile extension features several new corners – but the team’s front-running pace has not changed one iota. Seeking his second straight GP2 Asia victory, Frenchman Charles Pic qualified on the front row, less than one tenth of a second behind pole position winner Luca Filippi (Meritus). Team-mate Javier Villa scored two podium finishes last time out in Bahrain and he was well in touch again today, setting sixth fastest time.

Bahrain: GP2 Asia Race Preview
The 2009-2010 GP2 Asia Series wraps up this week in Bahrain on the new Sakhir layout and alongside the first Formula One Grand Prix of the 2010 season. While F1 will be celebrating its sixtieth anniversary, GP2 Asia will be saying goodbye to the GP2 Series first generation car.

But after three seasons in the European Series and another three in the Asia Series, it’s time to bid farewell to this machine.
