The GP2 Asia series returned after many months away with two more races around the Abu Dhabi street circuit, which were again dominated by Davide Valsecchi, the runaway championship leader, and a few surprise packages as well.

The first round of the truncated GP2 Asia Series took place supporting F1 2009's final race. GP2 veteran Davide Valsecchi dominated the weekend to take the lead of the championship, while meanwhile, some rookies impressed more than others.

The third season of the GP2 Asia Series begins after an uncertain build-up. A massively reduced schedule and a motley-looking grid mean that this winter looks set to be a tough slog for the series. Patty has a dull old look at what to expect.

Another season of trials, tribulations, and a mixed bag of performance levels graced the GP2 Series in 2009, as Nico Hulkenburg took the title with relative ease. Patty goes through the action with an all-too-dull roundup of what went on.

The 2009 GP2 Series came to a close in a standalone event in Portugal, which saw Nico Hulkenburg underline his dominance of the series this year in the feature race, and the season close with a wonderfully silly series of events in the sprint race.

ART driver Nico Hulkenburg wrapped up the GP2 Series crown at Monza, with one round still to go, eschewing going flat-out for wins in favour of patiently picking up the points he needed to secure the title ahead of dogged Vitaly Petrov.
