Jolyon Palmer (iSport) takes victory in the second race presented in Monaco, after a multi car pile-up in the first lap.
Pole sitter Stéphane Richelmi went out at the very first corner, because of a contact with James Calado, who was able to maintain his car on track in second position. The incident gave Jolyon Palmer the lead.
Right after, race 1 winner Johnny Cecotto span at Massenet corner, which brought a massive accident behind him, involving ten cars, including championship leader Davide Valsecchi and his teammate Felipe Nasr, whose car was launched in the air, with no damage for the Brazilian driver.
Calado, who stayed on track in second position after the first corner incident, was forced to stop to fix a broken front wing.
Max Chilton moved up to second, and finally crossed the finish line only one second behind his fellow countryman Jolyon Palmer, who secured his first GP2 win. Giedo Van der Garde takes third.
Jolyon Palmer is the son of former F1 driver Jonathan Palmer.
