Report
The first race once again resulted in a one-two finish for Barwa Addax Team drivers Romain Grosjean and Vitaly Petrov, with Lucas di Grassi promoted to third for Fat Burner Racing Engineering, after Nico Hülkenberg was demoted after cutting a corner.
The red flagged second race was won by Pastor Maldonado for ART Grand Prix, with Jérôme d'Ambrosio and Hülkenberg also on the podium. Romain Grosjean had a big accident in the final stages, where he was unhurt, but it did bring out the red flag which ended the race 2 laps shy of the end.
