Ricci to stay on with DPR
Giacomo Ricci is to remain with the David Price Racing team for the main GP2 Series, having signed to fill the squad's vacant second car alongside Michael Herck
The 24-year-old Italian has already contested several GP2 and GP2 Asia races for the team - which changed hands at the end of the winter as founder David Price completed its sale to Andre Herck.
"It's great to have an element of consistency with this season's driver line up," said team manager Leon Price.
"Giacomo is no stranger to the team. He competed with us in the GP2 Asia series over the winter, as well as completing two races in the main series with us last season.
"We have two strong drivers with experience of the team and the car, so our aim is to go out and have two consistent races over the weekend. If we can bring the cars home with two full race distances and strong results, then we have something to build on for the rest of the season."
Ricci's signing completes the 26-car GP2 field ahead of this weekend's season-opener at Barcelona.
