Romain Grosjean wins race two after capitalising on Jules Bianchi's error

The French pair were involved in a three-way dice, which included race one winner Luca Filippi, in the final laps of a race that had started wet but dried out.

Once everyone had switched to slicks, Bianchi enjoyed a slender lead over his pursuers. Grosjean had only launched one attack - four laps from the end - into Turn 1, but Bianchi had re-passed him on the exit and seemed to just about have things under control.

But the Ferrari junior driver then locked up at the final chicane on the penultimate lap, running wide and enabling Grosjean to get a run on him into the final corner.

Filippi then challenged Bianchi into Turn 1, but the Italian clattered into the side of the ART car and spun. Both cars were undamaged, and they held onto their podium places.

Behind them Christian Vietoris took fourth, while Adam Carroll sustained pressure from Marcus Ericsson to take fifth. Ericsson spun at Turn 2 on the final lap, handing the final point to Max Chilton.

Chilton just kept pole-sitter Sam Bird at bay to the chequered flag. The Briton had led the opening lap, but he spun at Turn 10 on lap two, handing the lead to Bianchi.

The Frenchman had already benefitted from some of the other leaders hitting trouble, as Dani Clos and Giedo van der Garde clashed at Turn 5 on the opening lap while fighting over second.

The battle for the lead should have featured Esteban Gutierrez as well, as the Mexican was fighting hard with Grosjean in the first half of the race. He got ahead of the eventual winner when they both pitted for slicks, but his race came to an end when he lost a wheel just over a lap later.
