2008 GP2 Series

Pastor Maldonado took first pole position of the season, but he couldn't use the advantage after a very bad start.

Grosjean won the sprint race which included several incidents on the first lap, as well as two stray dogs on the track.

Magny-Cours feature race was won by Pantano after Grosjean and Senna suffered mechanical retirements.

At Hockenheim Grosjean finished first on the road, but he was later penalized for overtaking under yellow flag, giving Pantano third straight feature race victory.

Senna took the pole in Spa, but his race was destroyed by drive through penalty for unsafe release by the team in his pit stop.

Grosjean won the feature while Maldonado took his first victory of the season in the sprint, overtaking Jérôme d'Ambrosio on the final lap.

Pantano got perfect start for final weekend with pole, therefore knocking di Grassi out from the championship hunt.

A race started in wet conditions and mandatory pit stop was done as late as possible, as the track was ready for slicks.

di Grassi won while Pantano ended in 10th after drive through penalty for crossing white line at the pit exit.

All of the teams used the Dallara GP2/08 chassis with Renault-badged 4.0 litre (244 cu in) naturally-aspirated Mecachrome V8 engines order and with tyres supplied by Bridgestone.
