Olympiacos' Hanley wins at Ordos

The start was a chaotic affair, as fourth-placed Andy Soucek (Flamengo) tagged the fast-starting Robert Doornbos (Corinthians), who cannoned into front-row starter John Martin (Beijing Guoan) before the startline. The multiple impacts removed all three cars.

Hanley was gifted a huge lead as a result, but Bordeaux's Franck Perera kept him honest in the first stint. That became academic after the pitstops, as first of all Perera suffered a slow stop and then he was caught for speeding in the pitlane.

Perera's drive-through penalty dropped him from third (as Basel's Max Wissel had passed him at Turn 1 on lap 13) to sixth, behind Earl Bamber (Porto), Craig Dolby (Tottenham) and series leader Davide Rigon (Anderlecht).

Yelmer Buurman (AC Milan) also passed Perera in the closing stages to finish sixth from 12th on the grid. Marcos Martinez finished eighth for Sevilla after spinning out of sixth early on.

Up front, Hanley won by 2.6 seconds from Wissel, Bamber (on his Superleague debut), Dolby (who escaped a brief off-track moment early on), Rigon and Buurman.
