The 2013 Yas Marina GP3 Series round was a GP3 Series motor race held on November 2 and 3, 2013 at Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi. It was the last weekend of the 2013 GP3 Series. The race supported the 2013 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Classification
[edit]Summary
[edit]Three teams changed their lineups before the final race weekend. Dean Stoneman replaced Aaro Vainio at Koiranen GP; it was his first race in single-seaters since 2010, when he was diagnosed with cancer.[1] Robert Cregan, whose father owned Yas Marina Circuit at the time, replaced David Fumanelli at Trident.[2] Alice Powell replaced Melville McKee at Bamboo Engineering, with the team running an all-female lineup, as Lewis Williamson as was not present and was not replaced.[3]
Daniil Kvyat took pole position, bringing the championship points gap to Facu Regalia down to just three points.[4] Kvyat led every lap and set the fastest lap, winning the race with an almost five second gap to Alexander Sims. Regalia crossed the line in seventh, but was given a twenty second time penalty for not respecting yellow flags, dropping him out of the points.[5] Because of this, Kvyat took the championship title with one race remaining.[6]
Patrick Kujala started on reverse grid pole, but was overtaken at the start by Tio Ellinas and Stoneman.[7] Ellinas struggled with tyre wear towards the end of the race but held the lead, taking his second win of the season.[8]
