Qualifying:

Report:

Dean Stoneman and Lewis Hamilton risked everything for a chance to win this street race.

Saturday brought chaos, so many believed that Sunday could provide the very same challenge to the 26 Formula One drivers. This belief was quickly proven true, as the Sunday race was just as much a chaotic mess.

As far as the battle for the victory was concerned, Lewis Hamilton had a good start and took the lead. However, the fastest man in qualifying, Dean Stoneman, refused to give up on the victory and secured his first win with a daring pass against Caterham’s British racing driver.

Behind them, staying cool and on the track was the key to glory. Both Valterri Bottas and Daniel Melrose secured podium positions by staying out of trouble and letting others butt their heads on each other or the walls.

With only 14 finishers, this race was quite wild. This is best proven by the example of Sebastian Vettel. He lost his front wing in an incident and then made a major error when Ármannsson went past the Judd-powered car, taking Einar out in a way that could’ve gotten both of them hurt..

Race:

Fastest Lap:

Dean Stoneman – 1:32.255

Infinite Improbability Drive Of The Race:

Robin Frijns – fought well against adversity in his one-off appearance.

Reject Of The Race:

Sebastian Vettel – drove rather dangerously and can be lucky nobody got hurt.
