A good weekend for 21-year-old Swiss driver Natacha Gachnang, the only female competing in the F2 series. Yesterday in race one the track was virtually dry as Natacha started from 12th and finished 11th, one of her best results in 2009.

On Sunday she started again from 12th on the grid and finishes 12th. The young driver from Vevey explained: "I am happy with my performance this weekend, this 12th F2 race. I regard my race yesterday as one of my better memories of the season finishing 11th.
Today's race was difficult as 22 of 25 cars finished. I would like to thank my engineers and mechanics for their help in getting this good weekend result. Thanks to them I was able to run consistently in the top 12. It was a positive weekend."

"In race 2, I made a couple of places at the start down the inside but Iaconelli and Piscopo got past me again and I was back in 12th. I was lapping quickly but not fast enough to get back past. I resisted Ebrahim who pressured me throughout. I hope the spectators weren't bored. It's quite a defensive circuit and may have been a bit boring
for them. I can't wait for Imola in two weeks.
From here I'm back behind the wheel in Formula Le Mans at Silverstone next weekend. After the penultimate weekend of Formula 2 at Imola I will be helping the promotion of the launch of the video game Forza Motorsport 3 on Xbox 360. Keen fans won't be disappointed and you can race on more than 100 different tracks around the world."
