Sprint race Giedo van der Garde, who started from pole, got off to a good start keeping Marcus Ericsson behind him, while Luiz Razia moved up to third. Felipe Nasr got off to a bad start dropping from third to ninth.
Sergio Canamasas, on the other hand, had a great start, when he rose from 16th to seventh. On the third lap, he received a drive-through penalty because one of his mechanics was late leaving the grid. Despite being constantly notified of the penalty on the radio, the driver did not return to serve the penalty over three laps, so he was disqualified on lap seven. Thinking that his radio was damaged or had interference, his engineer also used a sign to inform him that he had to return to the pits. It wasn't until lap 14 that Canamasas returned to the pits with a mechanical problem and retired from the race, but he had no idea that he had been disqualified. The safety car came out on the ninth lap of the race when Rene Binder spun in the last corner. Meanwhile, at the front, van der Garde held on to the lead after the restart and won easily by 1.7 seconds. There was a fight for third place on the last lap when Fabio Leimer overtook Razia in turn ten, taking advantage of his rival's tire problems. Davide Valsecchi and Felipe Nasr secured the DAMS squad's first teams' title in GP2 with fifth and seventh placed finishes enough to beat rival Lotus GP. ==Classification==
