GP2: Timo Glock dominates second Spanish race

Alastair Staley/GP2 Series


Timo Glock has pushed his race one disappointments behind him by annihilating the field in race two this morning at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona. The German put on an imperious performance to claim the win from seventh on the grid, easily leading home poleman Javier Villa, who in turn was more concerned with the view from his mirrors, which were full of the cars of Lucas di Grassi and Bruno Senna.

Glock made up one position before the race got under way when Borja Garcia stalled on the grid. After another warm up lap the race got underway in earnest, with Villa making a strong start but di Grassi and Senna being even stronger, the pair arriving right on the tail of the Spaniard into turn one.

Further back Roldan Rodriguez undid his good work from yesterday by spinning in the first corner, taking Jason Tahinci with him, but up at the front Villa’s teammate and fellow front row starter Sergio Jimenez had been swamped, lining up out of turn one right behind Glock in sixth position.

Before the first lap was over the German had blown past Mikhail Aleshin to put himself up with the leading trio, and he was soon in a podium position as he powered by Senna one lap later.
