The weekend was overshadowed by the crash of Phil Stratford in the Benetton F1. In free practice, the US American hit the wall in front of the Mercedes grandstand at over 200 km/h with virtually no brakes. Not much was left of the ever-popular Benetton F1. Apart from minor injuries to Phil Stratford's leg, he miraculously remained virtually unharmed. We wish Phil a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on the grid soon.

WHAT FOR A COMEBACK!

(Thomas Zeltner)

Thomas Zeltner made a good debut with his GP2 after his starting accident in Monza. Zeltner nailed P3 in Race 1, which gave him a spot on the podium. „It was a fun weekend and i was happy to being able to get the podium yesterday especially after the heavy crash in Monza. So, the entire weekend we`re just focusing on getting back confidence in the car, trust the breaks, the throttle and the downforce and all worked out pretty well. I´m super happy with P3 yesterday. It was mega!“ said the Swiss Zeltner.

In the Masters Class, Belgian Frank Thomas secured the class win in the first race. In the second heat, Stephan Glaser of Jo Zeller Racing won, gathering valuable points for the championship.
