Nakajima on form at the Ring

Kazuki Nakajima enjoyed a strong race in today's GP2 feature race at the Nurburgring, finishing in third after starting sixth. The Japanese driver put on a fine display of aggressive driving to make it his third successive podium finish.

The DAMS driver said: "To score another podium today was a great result, and the team did a great job on the strategy and for the car, so I'm really happy with the result.

"It was always the plan to come in early, depending what happened on the first lap of course. I had a good start and maybe picked up a few spots, but the first corner was a bit of a mess and I think I was a bit lucky to survive that! After that I was in P5, and so we did an early pitstop as we planned, and we knew that our race pace has been quite good and consistent, and we knew it was good for the tyres and we were pretty confident for the tyres life.

"From the middle to the end of the race it was a bit difficult because we had some oversteer, but compared to Timo and di Grassi the race pace was competitive, and to the others behind it was much better, so I think we are going the right way and we have to keep pushing to get another step on the podium."
