Lap 1: Pole position qualifier Ricardo Sperafico (Coloni) holds off a spirited, lap-long challenge from championship leader Björn Wirdheim (Arden). Half the field runs wide at Turn One, but there’s no longer any gravel in which they can get stuck. Vitantonio Liuzzi (Red Bull Jr), Townsend Bell (Arden), Giorgio Pantano (Durango) and Tony Schmidt (Astromega) occupy third to sixth places.
Lap 3: Pantano passes Bell for fourth.
Lap 4: Liuzzi pushes Wirdheim for second but the Swede fends him off.
Lap 7: Raffaele Giammaria (Durango) runs wide at the last corner and bounces across the gravel. He rejoins without losing 16th place.
Lap 10: Just 2.1 seconds covers the top three. All 17 cars – the smallest field since Zandvoort 1985 – are still running.
Lap 11: Local driver Bernard Auinger passes Derek Hill at Turn One to take 14th place. Auinger is standing in for Red Bull Jr racer Patrick Friesacher, who broke his left arm during the previousb race in Barcelona. At the end of the lap Hill runs wide through the dirt at Turn Nine although doesn’t lose any more positions.
Lap 12: Liuzzi makes a mistake and Pantano passes him at Turn Three.
Lap 13: Bell passes Liuzzi, too.
Lap 14: The best battle is that for 12th, between Rob Nguyen (BCN), Auinger, Alessandro Piccolo (BCN) and Hill.
Lap 16: Piccolo spins to the tail of the field. Auinger runs wide and drops to 15th.
Lap 18: Wirdheim launches a fresh assault and closes to within 0.4s of Sperafico. Liuzzi repasses Bell for fourth.
Lap 19: Hill passes Nguyen for 12th at Turn One – but immediately spins and loses his nose wing courtesy of the passing Auinger. Hill brings what’s left of his car to the pits to post the first retirement.
Lap 20: Yannick Schroeder (ISR Charouz) posts the second by spinning out of 13th place at Turn Five.
Lap 22: Enrico Toccacelo (Super Nova/Jordan) deprives Schmidt of sixth.
Lap 24: Schmidt loses another place, this time to Nicolas Kiesa (Den Blå Avis). Auinger passes Nguyen for 12th.
Lap 27: Toccacelo moves up to fifth at Bell’s expense.
Lap 29: Jaroslav Janis (ISR Charouz) passes Schmidt on the approach to Turn Two, but then runs wide and loses out to both Schmidt and Phil Giebler (Den Blå Avis). Giammaria peels into the pits but swiftly rejoins.
Lap 31: Kiesa passes Bell for sixth. Giebler and Janis sweep ahead of Schmidt, who pits at the end of the lap and goes no further.
Lap 32: Piccolo finally manages to get ahead of Nguyen, at Turn Two. That puts him 12th.
Lap 33: Giammaria spins at Turn Eight.
Lap 35: Sperafico clinches the second victory of his F3000 career by 3.6 seconds. Wirdheim, who eased up in the closing stages, is second from Pantano, Liuzzi, Toccacelo, Kiesa, Bell and Giebler. Provisionally, Wirdheim leads the championship by 10 points from Pantano and Sperafico.

Pre-race: Alessandro Piccolo (BCN) is withdrawn after suffering a back injury when he crashed heavily at Casino Square during qualifying. He would have started 11th.
Lap 1: Pole position qualifier and series leader Björn Wirdheim (Arden International) makes a spirited start to lead Ricardo Sperafico (Coloni), Giorgio Pantano (Durango), Enrico Toccacelo (Super Nova/Jordan), Vitantonio Liuzzi (Red Bull Jr) and Nicolas Kiesa (Den Blå Avis). Several drivers take a short cut across the pit lane exit lane at Ste Dévote. Phil Giebler spins out of 17th (aka last) place at Tabac and retires after clipping the barrier.
Lap 3: Having started last because he crashed early in qualifying, Townsend Bell (Arden International) passes newcomer Will Langhorne (BCN) for 15th place.
Lap 8: Pantano locks his brakes in his efforts to unsettle Sperafico. Bell moves up to 14th by passing Tony Schmidt (Astromega).
Lap 10: Wirdheim leads by 6.5 seconds – and his advantage is growing by the lap.
Lap 13: The stewards impose drive-through penalties on Jeffrey van Hooydonk (Astromega, seventh), Yannick Schroeder (ISR Charouz, 10th), Derek Hill (Super Nova/Jordan, 13th), Schmidt (15th) and Langhorne (16th) for taking an inappropriate line through Ste Dévote on lap one.
Lap 14: Within moments of having rejoined following his pit stop, Hill slides down the escape road at Mirabeau and rejoins at the back of the field.
Lap 15: With all pit penalties served, Raffaele Giammaria (Durango) and Jaroslav Janis (ISR Charouz) move up to seventh and eighth – the final two points-scoring positions. Bell is up to 11th, ahead of van Hooydonk, Schroeder, Schmidt, Langhorne and Hill. The latter two are one lap in arrears.
Lap 18: Hill receives the black flag because marshals had given him a push start when he slithered off at Mirabeau.
Lap 20: Wirdheim leads by 17.0s. Pantano is all over Sperafico – and Toccacelo is catching them both.
Lap 22: Pantano barges his way into second place at the Virage Anthony Noghès.
Lap 23: Toccacelo moves up to third at Sperafico’s expense. Schmidt pits and loses three laps before rejoining.
Lap 24: Sperafico pits and rejoins in 13th place, one lap down. Liuzzi moves up to fourth ahead of Kiesa, Giammaria, Janis and Zsolt Baumgartner.
Lap 27: Bell passes Bernard Auinger (Red Bull Jnr) for ninth. He is little more than a second away from a place among the points.
Lap 29: Make that 0.3 seconds.
Lap 30: Pantano has pegged back Wirdheim’s serene progress. The Swede has only stretched his advantage to 23.6s. Liuzzi is on Toccacelo’s tail and pressing hard.
Lap 31: Too hard. Liuzzi locks up at the chicane and goes straight on, although he doesn’t lose much time.
Lap 32: Toccacelo laps Langhorne by cutting across the exit of the swimming pool complex, which gives him breathing space over Liuzzi. It also earns him a drive-through penalty.
Lap 35: Toccacelo has still to serve his drive-through penalty when he and Liuzzi tangle on the approach to Massenet. The Safety Car is deployed and Wirdheim’s huge lead has suddenly evaporated. Kiesa is now third from Giammaria, Janis, Baumgartner, Bell and van Hooydonk.
Lap 37: Race restarts. Wirdheim has Auinger’s lapped car between himself and Pantano – until the Austrian skates down the escape road at Ste Devote.
Lap 39: Sperafico – a lapped 10th – is trying very hard to pass Pantano on the road.
Lap 40: Sperafico passes Pantano at Mirabeau and forces the Italian into the tyre wall. The stewards are not impressed.
Lap 41: Black flag for car three (driver: R Sperafico). Wirdheim leads from Kiesa, Giammaria, Janis, Baumgartner, Bell, Schroeder and van Hooydonk. Only 10 cars are still running.
Lap 45: Comfortably ahead, Wirdheim stops just before the finishing line and Kiesa passes him. Realising he hasn’t passed the chequered flag, Wirdheim gets going again and takes second, from Giammaria.
Slowing-down lap: Giammaria almost runs into the celebrating Kiesa’s car.

Lap 1: Pole position qualifier and series leader Björn Wirdheim (Arden International) leads into the complex, where Ricardo Sperafico (Coloni) attempts to wrest first place. The two cars touch: Sperafico runs wide and Wirdheim breaks his nose wing. Both pit at the end of the lap – after a couple of trips through the gravel in Sperafico’s case. Enrico Toccacelo (Super Nova/Jordan) takes the lead from Vitantonio Liuzzi (Red Bull Jnr), Patrick Friesacher (Red Bull Jnr), Townsend Bell (Arden International), Nicolas Kiesa (Den Blå Avis) and Derek Hill (Super Nova/Jordan). Sperafico and Wirdheim rejoin without losing a lap: they are now 17th and 18th respectively.
Lap 2: Yannick Schroeder (ISR Charouz) and Jeff van Hooydonk (Astromega) pass Hill.
Lap 4: Bell tries to overtake Friesacher at Turn One but their cars touch and spin. Friesacher – making his first start since breaking his wrist in Barcelona – loses his rear wing. Both retire to the pits at the end of the lap.
Lap 5: Friesacher catches up with Bell in the pits. Judging by the way he’s waving his arms about, the Austrian’s broken wrist has healed perfectly.
Lap 7: Title contender Giorgio Pantano (Durango) all but hits van Hooydonk while trying to wrest sixth place at Turn One. The Italian subsequently clips a cone at the NGK chicane and breaks his front wing.
Lap 8: Pantano presses on with his front wing in tatters. He spins at the Ford-Kurve – and causes team-mate Raffaele Giammaria to come to a complete halt, which costs the latter several seconds. Pantano pits for repairs.
Lap 10: Toccacelo leads by 1.3 seconds from Liuzzi, Kiesa, Schroeder, Hill, van Hooydonk, Jaroslav Janis (ISR Charouz) and Phil Giebler (Den Blå Avis). Wirdheim, Sperafico and Pantano – the championship’s top three – are lapping about half a second faster than the leader, albeit in 15th, 14th and 16th respectively.
Lap 16: Toccacelo locks a brake at the Dunlop-Kurve, not that it matters a great deal. The ISR Charouz drivers are involved in the closest battles: Schroeder is defending fourth, Janis pushing for sixth.
Lap 17: Janis passes van Hooydonk cleanly at Turn One.
Lap 18: Liuzzi rams a cone at the NGK chicane – but his wing survives.
Lap 22: Sperafico and Wirdheim pass series returnee Valerio Scassellati (BCN) to move up to 13th and 14th.
Lap 25: Liuzzi sets his best lap of the race so far – a 1m 49.833s – and closes to within one second of the leader. Sperafico ploughs across the chicane grass and Wirdheim latches on to his gearbox.
Lap 30: Toccacelo beats Liuzzi by 0.4s to score the second FIA F3000 victory of his career. Kiesa takes third from Schroeder, Hill, Janis, and Giammaria, who passes van Hooydonk when the latter runs wide at Turn One. Wirdheim passes Sperafico in the closing stages and continues to lead the championship. He is 10 points clear of Toccacelo.

Pre-race: American Phil Giebler (Den Blå Avis) withdraws after aggravating a shoulder injury when he clipped a kerb during qualifying. The American, who qualified 16th, hopes to be fit to return at Silverstone on July 19.
Lap 1: Pole position qualifier Giorgio Pantano (Durango) beats championship leader Björn Wirdheim (Arden International) off the line. Third-fastest qualifier Jaroslav Janis (ISR Charouz) stalls and gets away last. He swiftly compounds this error by running wide at Turn 12. Ricardo Sperafico (Coloni), Vitantonio Liuzzi (Red Bull Jnr) and Tony Schmidt (Astromega) run third to fifth. Jeffrey van Hooydonk (Astromega) passes Patrick Friesacher (Red Bull Jnr) around the outside coming into the new Lycée complex to take sixth. France’s lone representative Yannick Schroeder (ISR Charouz) settles into eighth.
Lap 3: Janis pits and retires.
Lap 4: Townsend Bell (Arden International) runs wide at the first corner and slips from 11th to 14th.
Lap 5: Pantano sets his fastest lap so far – a 1m 30.928s – and leads Wirdheim by 1.2 seconds.
Lap 10: Pantano locks up his front-left wheel going into Turn 8 but doesn’t suffer unduly: Wirdheim remains one second in arrears.
Lap 15: Monaco winner Nicolas Kiesa (Den Blå Avis) spins at Turn 13 and drops from 11th to 15th.
Lap 16: Pantano leads by 1.3 seconds. Friesacher is pushing van Hooydonk extremely hard: both are tucked up behind Schmidt.
Lap 17: Kiesa peels into the pits and stays there.
Lap 23: Van Hoydonk locks his rear wheels entering Turn 8, but Friesacher can’t find a way through.
Lap 25: Friesacher dives inside van Hoydonk at Turn 8: they touch and the Austrian – who hasn’t scored a point since he finished second in the season-opener at Imola – spins down to 11th place. Pantano’s team-mate Raffaele Giammaria moves up to eighth, 5.5 seconds adrift of Schroeder.
Lap 28: Friesacher rejoins without losing a place after ploughing through the gravel at Estoril.
Lap 31: Schroeder runs wide at Adelaide while lapping tail-ender Valerio Scassellatti but he only loses about one second.
Lap 35: Pantano beats Wirdheim by 4.7 seconds and becomes the first driver to have scored more than one victory this season. Sperafico, Liuzzi, Schmidt (a career-best fifth), van Hooydonk, Schroeder and Giammaria also score points. Wirdheim, runner-up for the fourth time in six races, continues to lead the championship. Provisionally, he has 42 points to Pantano’s 26.

Lap 1: Pole position qualifier and championship leader Björn Wirdheim (Arden International) makes a clean start to head Giorgio Pantano (Durango) into Copse. Vitantonio Liuzzi (Red Bull Jnr) grabs third from Ricardo Sperafico (Coloni), Patrick Friesacher (Red Bull Jnr), Enrico Toccacelo (Super Nova/Jordan), Townsend Bell (Arden International) and Jaroslav Janis (ISR Charouz).
Lap 3: Wirdheim has stretched his advantage to 0.9s – and the rest are almost three seconds further behind. Liuzzi heads a tightly-packed chain of cars that stretches back to Janis, in eighth place.
Lap 8: Raffaele Giammaria (Durango) passes Zsolt Baumgartner (Coloni) for 13th – the first passing manoeuvre since the start of the race.
Lap 9: Will Langhorne (BCN) attempts to pass Baumgartner at Abbey, but he locks up and runs wide across the gravel. He slips from 15th to 16th (aka last).
Lap 10: Wirdheim has extended his lead to 3.4s. All 16 starters are still running, which is fairly unusual at one-third distance. Series newcomer Michael Keohane (Astromega) lies 12th; former British F3 champion Marc Hynes is 15th. Keohane is only the second Irish driver to start an FIA F3000 race (after Tommy Byrne, who made a one-off appearance for Eddie Jordan Racing in the 1986 Birmingham Superprix). Hynes is racing for the first time in three years.
Lap 12: Giammaria chalks up the first retirement when he spins off while trying to usurp Keohane at Abbey. The incident delays Keohane, too, and he loses a place to Baumgartner.
Lap 15: Half-distance: Wirdheim leads by 5.1s and there’s no change elsewhere.
Lap 17: In his first race since switching from the cash-strapped Den Blå Avis team (which is not competing this weekend) to Super Nova, Nicolas Kiesa slices inside Yannick Schroeder (ISR Charouz) at Brooklands to take 10th place.
Lap 20: Tony Schmidt (Astromega) stops with a technical problem at Priory. He had been running ninth.
Lap 21: Kiesa passes Janis at Brooklands and moves up to eighth.
Lap 27: Langhorne moves into 13th place, ahead of Hynes.
Lap 30: Wirdheim wins by 8.9 seconds from Pantano. Liuzzi, Sperafico, Friesacher (his first scoring finish since the season-opener at Imola), Toccacelo, Bell and Kiesa complete the top eight. Schroeder passes Janis to take ninth. Keohane and Hynes take 12th and 14th respectively. Provisionally, Wirdheim – who has two wins and four seconds from seven starts – has stretched his series lead to 18 points with three races to go.

Lap 1: Pole position qualifier Ricardo Sperafico (Coloni) makes a clean start and heads series leader Björn Wirdheim (Arden International) into Turn One. Front-row starter Vitantonio Liuzzi (Red Bull Jnr) slips to third, ahead of Patrick Friesacher (Red Bull Jnr). Giorgio Pantano (Durango) is initially fifth, but Enrico Toccacelo (Super Nova/Jordan) rams him at the hairpin. Pantano drops to seventh and his assailant retires to the pits. Local driver Tony Schmidt (Astromega) moves up to fifth, from 10th on the grid, and Townsend Bell (Arden) takes sixth.
Lap 3: Bell passes Schmidt for fifth. Michael Keohane (Astromega) pulls off and retires from 12th place.
Lap 4: Liuzzi passes Wirdheim – but only for about a nanosecond. The Italian slides wide and drops to fourth, behind Wirdheim and Friesacher.
Lap 7: Jaroslav Janis (ISR Charouz) passes Raffaele Giammaria (Durango) to take ninth. William Langhorne (BCN) spins and drops from 12th to 14th – also known as last.
Lap 10: Sperafico leads by a few car lengths. The top four are covered by only 2.2 seconds.
Lap 12: Langhorne moves up a place at the expense of BCN team-mate Valerio Scassellati, who is back in action this weekend after a muscular injury forced him to miss the previous race at Silverstone.
Lap 16: Already kilometres adrift of his rivals, Scassellati spins at the Sachskurve.
Lap 20: Sperafico leads by 1.7 seconds from Wirdheim, who will clinch the title if the order remains unchanged.
Lap 27: Zsolt Baumgartner (Coloni) loses time after running wide at Turn One and Janis challenges him as they enter the Einfahrt Parabolica. The two cars touch and Janis spins, although he retains his ninth place. Baumgartner – who drove for Jordan during Friday morning’s F1 test session – presses on in eighth.
Lap 31: The recovered Janis passes Baumgartner when the Hungarian runs wide across the kerbs.
Lap 33: Sperafico scores his second win of the year, 3.2s clear of Wirdheim. The latter’s fifth second place of the season is enough, however, to make him the 19th FIA F3000 champion. He is the first Swede ever to claim the title. Friesacher, Liuzzi, Bell, Schmidt, Pantano and Janis complete the top eight.

Note: this is the first FIA Formula 3000 event to feature a mandatory tyre stop. These have been introduced on a trial basis for the final two races of the season.
Pre-race: Ninth-fastest qualifier Zsolt Baumgartner (Coloni Motorsport) is withdrawn from the event following his elevation to Formula One. Jordan chose the local favourite to deputise for the injured Ralph Firman. His departure leaves only 13 cars on the grid – this season’s smallest field.
Lap 1: First-time pole position qualifier Vitantonio Liuzzi (Red Bull Jr) – who learned the circuit on a scooter last Thursday, because he had never been here before – gets away cleanly to lead. His team-mate Patrick Friesacher takes second after front-row starter Giorgio Pantano (Durango) makes a slow start from the dirtier side of the grid. Townsend Bell (Arden) and Ricardo Sperafico (Coloni) take third and fourth as Pantano slips to fifth. Champion Björn Wirdheim tries to pass Pantano but runs wide and drops to seventh, although he retakes Tony Schmidt (Astromega) before the end of the lap.
Lap 3: Schmidt runs wide at Turn 5 and slips from seventh to 10th.
Lap 5: Liuzzi sets the race’s fastest lap so far – a 1m 37.135s – to extend his lead to one second.
Lap 8: Sam Hancock (Super Nova/Jordan) passes newcomer Giovanni Berton (BCN) for 11th. Schmidt becomes the first FIA F3000 driver to make an official tyre stop. He rejoins 13th – aka last.
Lap 9: Wirdheim stops for tyres and rejoins 12th. Jaroslav Janis (ISR Charouz) moves up to sixth.
Lap 10: Fifth-placed Pantano stops.
Lap 11: Sperafico pits to retire with damaged left-rear suspension.
Lap 13: Toccacelo stops for tyres and drops from sixth from 11th.
Lap 15: First-timer Fernando Monfardini (BCN) pits. Sixth on the road, Hancock runs wide under pressure from Wirdheim and slips to ninth.
Lap 16: Raffaele Giammaria (Durango) comes in from fifth.
Lap 17: Bell (third) and Hancock (10th) make their stops.
Lap 18: Friesacher stops. Of the leaders, only pace-setter Liuzzi and Janis (now third) have still to come in.
Lap 19: Liuzzi and Janis press on. Berton stops for tyres. Wirdheim is now third from Pantano. Friesacher’s slowish stop has dropped him to fifth.
Lap 20: Liuzzi and Janis come in. Friesacher sets the race’s fastest lap – a 1m 36.809s.
Lap 21: With everybody having pitted, Wirdheim emerges in the lead ahead of Pantano, Friesacher, Bell, Liuzzi (a tardy stop), Giammaria, Janis, Toccacelo, Schmidt, Hancock, Berton and Monfardini.
Lap 22: Friesacher passes Pantano to take second. Berton moves up to 12th, ahead of Hancock.
Lap 25: Friesacher closes to within 0.247s of Wirdheim and applies pressure on the run down to the first turn.
Lap 27: Friesacher slips past Wirdheim under braking for the first turn.
Lap 31: Liuzzi passes Bell at the final corner and the American is forced so wide he takes to the grass.
Lap 32: Liuzzi spins at Turn 4 while trying to pass Pantano. He drops to fifth, 0.4s behind Bell.
Lap 33: Giammaria spins at turn 13 and drops from sixth to seventh. There is a huge queue building behind Wirdheim: it stretches to fifth-placed Liuzzi.
Lap 35: Friesacher scores his maiden FIA F3000 win by 23.7 seconds from Wirdheim. Liuzzi scrambles up to third, but he tangles with Pantano in the effort and Bell profits to nip past both of them. Liuzzi takes fourth, 0.1s ahead of Pantano. Janis, Giammaria and Toccacelo complete the points scorers.

Formation laps: Having qualified 15th – and last – after skating off into the gravel yesterday, Sam Hancock’s weekend goes from bad to worse. He crashes his Super Nova Lola into the wall while attempting to enter the pits.
Lap 1: Giorgio Pantano (Durango) and Patrick Friesacher (Red Bull Jnr) beat champion Björn Wirdheim (Arden International) away from pole position, but Wirdheim regains second place before the end of the lap. Jeffrey van Hooydonk (Astromega), Ricardo Sperafico (Coloni) and Enrico Toccacelo (Super Nova) complete the top six. Van Hooydonk, Townsend Bell (Arden, seventh), Jaroslav Janis (ISR Charouz, 11th) and newcomer Christiano Montanari (Coloni, 12th) all fail to negotiate the first chicane properly.
Lap 2: Sperafico passes van Hooydonk.
Lap 3: Wirdheim drafts past Pantano to take the lead. Raffaele Giammaria tries to wrest seventh from Bell at the Parabolica and punts him into the tyre wall. Giammaria retires to the pits with suspension damage.
Lap 7: Wirdheim sets his fastest lap so far – a 1m 39.728s – to stretch his lead to 1.6 seconds. Toccacelo runs wide at the Variante Ascari and slips to seventh, behind Tony Schmidt (Astromega).
Lap 8: Vitantonio Liuzzi (Red Bull Jnr) passes Toccacelo. Liuzzi is recovering from a lowly 12th-placed start in the wake of a qualifying accident.
Lap 9: Sperafico, Liuzzi and Janis are the first drivers to make their mandatory tyre stops.
Lap 10: Toccacelo peels in for fresh Avons.
Lap 11: Schmidt makes his compulsory stop.
Lap 12: Friesacher is first of the top three to stop. Van Hooydonk comes in, too.
Lap 14: Wirdheim and Pantano set identical 1m 39.920s laps. They are 2.6 seconds apart. Alessandro Piccolo (BCN) pits. He had been promoted to third by dint of not stopping.
Lap 15: Pantano pulls off at the first chicane with a technical problem.
Lap 16: Wirdheim finally comes in. He rejoins second – behind Fernando Manfardini (BCN), the only driver not yet to have stopped.
Lap 17: Monfardini leads from Wirdheim, Friesacher, Sperafico, van Hooydonk, Liuzzi, Schmidt, Janis, Toccacelo and Montanari – although the latter is due to serve a drive-through penalty for crossing the pit exit blend line after his scheduled stop.
Lap 18: Monfardini pits and drops to ninth. Wirdheim assumes a comfortable lead.
Lap 20: Running at the tail of the field after his penalty stop, Montanari is served with a 10s stop-go for having crossed the pit exit blend line again, this time after his first penalty stop…
Lap 24: Piccolo attempts to pass team-mate Monfardini at the first turn: they touch, spin and retire.
Lap 25: Liuzzi passes van Hooydonk for fourth.
Lap 26: Wirdheim wins by 8.5 seconds from Friesacher, Sperafico, Liuzzi, van Hooydonk, Schmidt, Janis and Toccacelo. Wirdheim is the only driver to have won three races this season. Sperafico moves up to second in the provisional final standings, two points clear of Pantano. Only nine cars are still running at the end.
