Alvaro Parente Racing In GP2 – Not F1 – At Spa
Portugal’s Álvaro Parente returns to GP2 this weekend after his F1 sponsors fell short! He’s agreed to drive for Scuderia Coloni, the same team he drove to pole in the GP2 Asia series earlier this year.
According to GPUpdate.net:
Having switched from GP2 with Ocean Racing Technology to F1 with Virgin for 2010, Parente’s relationship with the latter fell through when key sponsor the Tourism Institute of Portugal failed to complete payments to the Sheffield-based outfit.
At this time, it’s unclear whether Parente will continue racing in GP2 for the rest of the season, or if this is a one-off opportunity. The Scuderia Coloni press release quoted Parente saying, “I race at Spa-Francorchamps, after that we will see what happens.”

this is awesome man
it’s too bad he had to take 2 steps backwards after making it to F1, but it certainly made Coloni more exciting in GP2!
