After three rounds of the 2012 season in Malaysia and Bahrain, the GP2 Series finally gets to return to its Europe roots with feature and sprint races this weekend in Spain.
Ocean Racing Technology have brought in Brendon Hartley to replace Jon Lancaster at very short notice ahead of the Bahrain weekend's events starting on Friday morning.
The six week gap between the first and second GP2 Asia rounds has prompted a variety of changes on the grid, with a total of six different drivers lining up in Dubai that didn't race in China.
