Cecotto wins with slick-tyre gamble

Johnny Cecotto Jr won the 15th round of the GP2 Series, his second feature race victory of the year, at Hockenheim on Saturday afternoon after a brave gamble on slick tyres on an initially wet track worked a treat. Starting three quarters of an hour after Formula 1 qualifying concluded, the track was damp but not wet enough for a safety car start, so the feature race grid formed up using treaded rubber - all except for Cecotto and Stephane Richelmi, whose Addax and Trident cars started on slicks.
