The 2010 Formula 2 season review
The full story of how Dean Stoneman hunted down and defeated Jolyon Palmer to become the second champion of Formula 2's new era
Round 1 - Silverstone
Jolyon Palmer took what was, at the time, a surprise victory from pole position in the opening race. Dean Stoneman had given chase early on but had to settle for second after spinning through 360 degrees half way through. Johan Jokinen was squeezed out of the battle for third on the first lap and Sergei Afanasiev held off Philipp Eng and the chasing pack to complete the podium.
Eng then won the second race after Stoneman's attempt to wrestle the lead from him was halted by a blown turbo. The Austrian capably held off Palmer to the end, with Jokinen passing Jack Clarke for third three laps from the end.
