Andy Soucek - R1: 1st, R2: 4th
Andy Soucek was in imperious form at Donington Park, taking a resounding win in race one and a well-deserved fourth in race two to take a commanding lead in the championship. The Spaniard had high hopes going into the weekend, having impressed in mid-season testing at the circuit, and it was a measure of his expectations that he came away slightly disappointed despite qualifying third and sixth for the two races. The feeling did not last long; a perfect start in race one saw him overtake Aleshin and Hegewald before the first corner, and he never looked back on his way to a dominant third win of the season. His healthy points lead did nothing to diminish his hunger in race two, and a superb manoeuvre to pass Hohenthal at Craner Curves was followed by a thrilling battle with Bortolotti for third. He eventually settled for fourth, and with it a 22-point lead in the championship over nearest rival Robert Wickens.

Robert Wickens - R1: DNF, R2: DNF
The Canadian driver endured a weekend to forget at Donington Park. Robert suffered an engine failure during qualifying one, but had already posted a time good enough for ninth on the grid. He then took eighth in qualifying two despite encountering traffic whilst on new tyres. Having made his way up to fifth in the opening race, his engine began to misfire and he was eventually forced to retire. The F2 team identified an obscure problem with a chassis wiring room and did a great job to fix it in time for race two. The 20-year-old 's race was compromised when he went off on at Old Hairpin on the opening lap, though, and his car suffered permanent damage when he tangled with Alex Brundle at the Craner Curves. Wickens failed to score any points but still remains second overall in the championship.

Julien Jousse - R1: 7th, R2: 1st
It was a weekend of firsts for Julien Jousse, the Frenchman converting his maiden pole position into a dominant maiden victory in race two. His win was a just reward for superb pace throughout the weekend - he set the fastest lap in both races, and was almost a second a lap quicker than the rest of the field in race two. Jousse also claimed seventh in race one to score 12 points from the weekend - his strongest performance of the year - and he now lies third in the championship, just two points behind Robert Wickens in second.

Tobias Hegewald - R1: 3rd, R2: 6th
Tobias enjoyed a dramatic Saturday when he spun twice whilst trying to find the limits, shortly before he grabbed his third pole position of the season in emphatic style. After a slow getaway at the start of the first race, the German was part of an exhilarating three-way scrap for second position. He eventually finished third, sandwiched between Mikhail Aleshin and Miloš Pavlović. Hegewald also drove well during the second race, taking sixth after starting ninth on the grid, and enjoyed his best weeknd showing since his pair of wins at Spa-Francorchamps in June.

Mirko Bortolotti - R1: 10th, R2: 3rd
Bortolotti bounced back from a disappointing opening qualifying session to take an impressive third during qualifying two. After being stuck behind Jason Moore for much of the opening race, he was unable to make the points, although he did eventually pass the Englishman to take tenth. The Red Bull-backed racer returned to the podium in the final race, after an exemplary display of defensive driving as Sebastian Hohenthal and Andy Soucek pressured him throughout.

Mikhail Aleshin - R1: 2nd, R2: 7th
One of only four drivers to have scored points at every round in 2009, Aleshin continued the trend with two fantastic races at Donington Park, including a hard-earned second in the opening race. Aleshin had made a great start from second on the grid, passing polesitter Tobias Hegewald into the first corner, but was himself a victim of Andy Soucek's perfect getaway. From there Hegewald made Aleshin work extremely hard to keep second, but the Russian held on to claim his third podium of the year. Another battling performance followed in race two, with Aleshin finishing fractions behind Hegewald in seventh, and he now lies fifth in the overall standings.

Miloš Pavlović - R1: DNF, R2: 8th
Donington proved to be a weekend of mixed fortunes for Pavlović. The Serbian driver had impressed early on, setting the second fastest time in free practice and then qualifying fifth for race one. A good start saw him improve to fourth going into the first corner, and he began to hunt down Tobias Hegewald in third - completing a brilliant move down the inside through the Fogarty Esses. Misfortune followed, however, when his car was struck by technical problems and he retired from third. Another strong drive in race two saw him come through from 11th at the start to finish eighth, and he now sits ninth in the championship.

Philipp Eng - R1: 5th, R2: 10th
The 19-year-old arrived at Donington in good form, having achieved his first victory in the F2 event at Brands Hatch, and he ran well again this weekend to add to his already impressive points haul. Having qualified tenth for both races, a sterling drive in race one saw him pick up five places to finish fifth, little over a second behind Italian Edoardo Piscopo. Philipp was in the thick of the action again in race two, pressurising Carlos Iaconelli throughout the race as the pair battled it out for ninth. He was unable to find a way through, but his fifth points finish of the year means he now lies seventh in the championship.

Nicola De Marco - R1: DNF, R2: DNF
Nicola experienced his most disappointing weekend so far in Formula Two at Donington, and was never able to find his usual pace during practice and qualifying, starting from 21^st and 19^th respectively in the two races. In race one he was eliminated following a first lap collision with Jens Höing and was part of a multi-car incident at the Esses on the first lap in race two, where Jason Moore, Armaan Ebrahim, Jens Höing, Tom Gladdis and De Marco were all forced into retirement.

Edoardo Piscopo - R1: 4th, R2: DNF
After an impressive performance in testing at Donington in the lead-up to the event, Piscopo qualified consistently by taking sixth and fifth on the grid respectively. He made up two places in race one to take a well deserved fourth place - less than a second away from taking his maiden podium. A regular points finisher, Piscopo was prevented from adding to his tally in race two after suffering gearbox problems - he was forced to retire on lap 12.

Carlos Iaconelli - R1: DNF, R2: 9th
Carlos had a difficult weekend at Donington, although he came close to recording his fourth points finish of the year when he placed ninth in race two. The weekend had started well, Carlos setting the eighth fastest time in free practice, but he struggled a little in qualifying and took 17th and 12th respectively for the two races. A collision with Jolyon Palmer brought his first race to a premature close, and though he demonstrated good pace in race two he will be determined to return to the points next time out at Oschersleben.

Kazim Vasiliauskas - R1: DNF, R2: 2nd
The Lithuanian is one of only four F2 driver to have scored points at every weekend, and the 19-year-old is proving to be one of the stars of the season. After qualifying seventh and fourth respectively, (a season's best), he was unable to take the start of race one due to a gearbox problem. Undeterred by the setback, Kazim passed Sebastian Hohenthal and then Mirko Bortolotti with a fantastic move around the outside at Redgate on the opening lap of race two. He never looked back and took a comfortable second place - his best in F2 so far - delighting his many supporters from home who had made the journey to Donington to cheer him on.

Henri Karjalainen - R1: 15th, R2: 13th
The Finn struggled to get to grips with the sweeping Donington Park circuit early in the weekend, but he did make considerable progress as the event wore on. Qualifying positions of 22^nd and 18^th were both improved upon during the two 25 lap contests. Having been more than 1.7s off the pace during the opening qualifying session, his race pace was only seven tenths of a second off the fastest driver. Henri made up a total of 12 places during the races to take 15^th and 13^th respectively.

Armaan Ebrahim - R1: 8th, R2: DNF
The JK Racing-backed driver showed consistently good pace throughout the weekend at Donington. 14^th in free practice was followed up with 12^th and 14^th respectively during qualifying - his best performance of the season. A notoriously good racer, Armaan made up four places during race one to take the final championship point - his first since Brno in June. Sadly he was caught up in a multi-car crash at the Esses on the first lap in race two and retired on the spot.

Alex Brundle - R1: 14th, R2: DNF
Donington was a challenging weekend for Alex, as incidents in both races harmed his chances of breaking into the top ten. Due to the extraordinary competitiveness of F2 he found himself starting from 18th and 21st for the two races despite being little over a second off the pole time. On both occasions he was able to improve during the race, but a spin in race one after a close moment with Henri Karjalainen was followed by a heavy crash in race two, when Robert Wickens made contact with him at the Craner Curves. Now 17th in the overall standings, he will be hoping to regain momentum next time out at Oschersleben.

Tom Gladdis - R1: 17th, R2: DNF
Briton Tom Gladdis will be looking to put his weekend at Donington behind him after incidents early on in both races put paid to his hopes for another strong weekend. He suffered a puncture in the first race and a spin on his way to the pit lane for a tyre change, and ended the race two laps down in 17th place. Further misfortune befell him in race two when he was caught up in a five car pile up involving Jens Höing, Nicola De Marco, Armaan Ebrahim and Jason Moore at the Fogarty Esses. Gladdis will be hoping for better luck next time out, having exceeded his own expectations so far this season.

Jack Clarke - R1: 9th, R2: 14th
The young Englishman showed flashes of front-running pace over the weekend, and was unlucky to miss out on a point's finish. Having qualified 13^th and 20^th for the two races, Clarke made a storming start in race one and quickly moved up to seventh position, which included a fantastic double overtake past Armaan Ebrahim and Jason Moore at the Melbourne Loop. Unfortunately a spin dropped him down to ninth and out of the points. He improved six places in race two to finish 14^th, impressively setting the fourth fastest lap of the race.

Sebastian Hohenthal - R1: 6th, R2: 5th
Sweden's Sebastian Hohenthal enjoyed his best weekend of the season at Donington Park, collecting his first points of the year with well-earned top six finishes in both races. The weekend started well when he topped the timesheets in free practice, before qualifying eighth and then second for the two races - missing out on pole by little over a tenth of a second. In race one a good start saw him running a comfortable fifth until contact with Jousse dropped him down the order, but he fought back to claim sixth at the chequered flag - setting the second fastest lap in the process. He struggled to get away cleanly in race two and dropped to fourth, and whilst pressurising Mirko Bortolotti for third fell victim to an enterprising move by championship leader Andy Soucek. He will be delighted to have finally registered points, and will hope to carry on his recent good form in the next round at Oschersleben.

Jason Moore - R1: 11th, R2: DNF
Moore, a previous race winner at Donington Park in Formula Palmer Audi, put in a consistent qualifying performance this weekend and lined up 14^th and 15^th respectively for the two races, though disappointed not to be in the top ten. He drove a brilliant opening race after breaking his front wing whilst fighting for points with Jack Clarke and Armaan Ebrahim. Struggling with a lack of downforce for the remainder of the race, Moore drove defensively to take an impressive 11^th at the finish. His second race ended prematurely when he was involved in a crash at the Esses which eliminated a number of cars.

Jens Höing - R1: DNF, R2: DNF
Jens suffered a weekend to forget at Donington Park, after two early collisions with Nicola De Marco led to his retirement from both races. He struggled with his car in the first qualifying session and failed to record a competitive time, although he improved in the second session to line up 23rd for race two. Despite double disappointment in the two F2 races, he will be looking forward to his home round at Oschersleben, and his previous experience of the track may well provide him with his best chance of a points finish this season.

Jolyon Palmer - R1: 16th, R2: 12th
Jolyon was in the thick of the action in both races at Donington. In the first he was involved in a six way battle between Jason Moore, Mirko Bortolotti, Germán Sánchez, Carlos Iaconelli and Henri Karjalainen for tenth position. His race ended prematurely, however, when he came together in dramatic fashion with Iaconelli after an optimistic move down the inside at the Fogarty Esses. In race two he produced a solid performance to finish 12th, rapidly closing down Germán Sánchez in 11th after finding a way past Jason Moore.

Germán Sánchez - R1: 12th, R2: 11th
Germán enjoyed his best weekend of the season so far at Donington Park, and will have been encouraged to be challenging for the top ten in each qualifying session. He recorded his best-ever position of 13th in second qualifying, before equalling his best race result of 11th in race one. He added a solid 12th place in race two, and his recent improvement suggests he could be one to watch at Oschersleben.

Natacha Gachnang - R1: 13th, R2: DNF
The Swiss female racer had a challenging time at Donington Park. She struggled to find the ultimate pace through the slow corners during qualifying and lined up 19^th and 22^nd on the grid. She did, however, show better race pace and improved to take 13^th in race one. Natacha recovered from a slow getaway off the line in race two, only to retire after a spin at Goddards.

Pietro Gandolfi - R1: DNF, R2: 15th
The affable Italian struggled to learn the tough Donington Park Grand Prix circuit, and lost time to his rivals through the slow Goddards corner and the Esses. Having made progress in recent rounds, the Italian was disappointed with his weekend in England. After failing to finish in the opening race, he did manage to cross the line in race two, finishing 15^th.
