The season began on 8 May at theCircuit de CatalunyainMontmeló,Spainand ended on 14 November at theYas Marina CircuitinAbu Dhabi,United Arab Emiratesafter 20 races held at ten meetings.

This was the first GP2 season held with its own feeder series, theGP3 Series.The2010 serieswas at most of the European Formula One rounds with GP2.

Pastor Maldonadoclinched the championship title with two races to spare, despite crashing out of the sprint race atMonza;the second successive season where the drivers' championship was secured before the final round. Maldonado, driving forRapax,became the series' most successful driver with six victories during the season, gained in successive feature races to take him to a total of ten victories.[2]Maldonado won the championship by sixteen points ahead ofBarwa Addax'sSergio Pérez,who took five victories during the season, taking a pair of feature race wins and three sprint wins.Jules Bianchifinished as top main series rookie in third forART Grand Prix,after coming at the head of a four-driver battle for the position.Dani Closfinished a point behind Bianchi forRacing Engineering,winning a sprint race inIstanbul,with British duoSam Bird– a race-winner at Monza – andOliver Turveytaking fifth and sixth places. Seven other drivers took victories, mainly coming in the reverse-grid races; onlyCharles Pic– tenth overall – took a feature race win in Montmeló. Sprint wins were taken byFabio Leimerin Montmeló,Jérôme d'AmbrosioinMonaco,Marcus EricssoninValencia,Giacomo RicciinMogyoród,Christian Vietorisat Monza andDavide Valsecchiin Abu Dhabi.

In the teams' championship, it was Rapax that prevailed in a three-team battle in Abu Dhabi. Heading into the final race, Barwa Addax held a one-point advantage over Rapax, with ART nine points behind Addax in third. In the final race, only Rapax picked up points with a second place with fastest lap forLuiz Razia,which gave Rapax a five-point – 115 points to 110 – championship win over Barwa Addax. ART finished third on 100 points, ahead of Racing Engineering on 80 andiSport Internationalon 78 in fifth position.

Teams and drivers

edit

The season had been expected to see 26 cars running, but ongoing financial problems sidelinedDurangoindefinitely. As there was a new team-entry-selection process scheduled for 2011, series organisers decided it was not worth a new team joining for a single season, as there would be no guarantee they would be on the grid in 2011.[3]
