Italian scores again, but team-mate struggles.

Back at the front, meanwhile, Pantano was harrying Sebastien Buemi in a repeat of their Barcelona scrap but, despite another safety car interruption to clear stray dogs from track, settled for fourth after deciding to take things carefully and simply add to his points tally - and his 100 per cent scoring record this season. The Italian continues to head the drivers' championship, now by a slightly reduced five-point margin over Grosjean, while Racing Engineering still tops the teams' championship.

“The whole team did a fantastic job and it shows in the results," team principal Alfonso de Orleans Borbón said, "I want to thank everyone, the drivers, the engineers and the mechanics for once again having both cars finish in both races this weekend. This makes us the only team having had both cars finishing all races so far. Reliability is the key along with a good set-up and fast drivers to winning a championship.

"It was a positive weekend overall as we are going to Monaco leading both the team and the driver championships but, as we all know, that track is a bit of a lottery, so let's hope we'll have another good weekend there as well."
