Sebastien Buemi claimed the second sprint race victory of his up-and-down 2008 GP2 Series campaign after Andy Soucek threw away the chance to take Hungaroring honours to Super Nova Racing.
The Spaniard made the better start from pole, sweeping across the bows of his Arden-run rival to claim the lead into turn one and, in the opening few laps, eased away from the chasing pack. Behind, there was the usual scramble into turn one, as Lucas di Grassi vaulted from eighth to fourth and the two Racing Engineering cars made up good ground from mid-grid to lie on the fringes of the points.
As Soucek and Buemi continued to gap the pack, di Grassi became impatient at not being able to go with them. Looking down the inside of Mike Conway into turn one third time around, the Brazilian suddenly realised he wasn't going to make the move stick, but got sideways as he tried to pull out, clipping and spinning the Briton as a result. The error would earn di Grassi a drive-thru' penalty and leave him without points for the second Sunday in a row.
Ironically, the man to replace him in the podium positions was Pastor Maldonado, who had ended the Brazilian's scoring run with an unceremonious punt at Hockenheim. That had earned the Piquet Sports driver a ten-place grid penalty for Hungary, which in turn was rendered useless by his shunt in practice. Undaunted, Maldonado produced the run of the race on Saturday to claim fifth place, and was now looking good to add a podium to that.
The other Piquet Sports entry wasn't faring quite so well, as Andi Zuber initially found himself sandwiched between the two Racing Engineering cars and then lost out to Giorgio Pantano as he ran wide through turn four. Unlike Saturday, there was no repeat of the contact that spun the points leader out of contention, and Pantano was able to slot in behind his team-mate.
