Lotus ART clinched a new victory in the GP3 Series, courtesy of Valtteri Bottas who drove a brilliant race starting from P6. The finn found speed and grip on the very wet Nurburgring track to step up on the first step of the podium. James Calado has added 1 point to Lotus ART total for today but the young british driver could have had much more if another driver wouldn't have pushed him at the chicane. Pedro Nunes had to retire.

The Lotus ART GP3 drivers had a difficult qualifying session. Gaps are once again very small between all drivers and position can easily be lost. James Calado will be the best placed Lotus ART driver as he will start 9th. He will be followed by teammate Valtteri Bottas who will be 11th. Pedro Nunes will start from the 17th spot of the grid. Dark clouds are there, if the rain comes, the race will be full of action. This post has been promoted to an article
