The safety car came out after an accident between Yamamoto, Buurman and Perez which allowed Hulkenberg to take the lead back after the first pit stops.

He finally crossed the line 13 seconds ahead of Sergio Perez. Vitaly Petrov finished 3rd.

In Sprint Race, Perez clinched victory after he overtook teammate Vitaly Petrov in lap 2. The young Mexican finish the race ahead of Petrov and race-1 winner Hulkenberg.

Despite his missfortune of the week-end, Kamui Kobayashi still leads the championship ahead of Valsecchi, Hulkenberg and Perez.
