Ramon Pineiro completes clean sweep of Spielberg Formula 2 races

Poleman Christopher Zanella led off the line, but outbraked himself into Turn 3 and Pineiro and Mirko Bortolotti went through.

It was closer than race one, but once again the championship leader couldn't challenge Pineiro's ultimate pace, and the Spaniard was unchallenged throughout.

On his best weekend so far, Mihai Marinescu took third from Zanella with a great pass, but he was a long way back on the lead duo. Zanella held onto fourth, while Kelvin Snoeks took fifth after a good charge.

Tobias Hegewald had a good battle with Max Snegirev, which he won to claim sixth. In fact the dicing for the minor points provided the main entertainment, with Benjamin Lariche, Mikkel Mac, Luciano Bacheta and Miki Monras disputing the places.

Bacheta rounded off a satisfactory debut weekend by sealing the last point on the final lap.
