Red Bull junior Pierre Gasly has claimed the GP2 points lead after taking a comfortabl­e win in the opening race at the Hungarorin­g last weekend. Gasly led home Prema teammate Antonio Giovinazzi before finishing seventh in race two to consolidat­e his advantage. ART driver Sergey Sirotkin won the second race, claiming his first victory of 2016, after making a storming start to climb from sixth to second. The Russian then passed leader Jordan King after a restart, denying the Brit the chance to claim a third consecutiv­e reverse-grid win… British drivers starred in GP3 last weekend with a maiden win for Matt Parry, first podium for Jake Dennis and Anglo-thai racer Alexander Albon taking the championsh­ip lead. Parry took full advantage of polesitter Nyck de Vries stalling on the grid at the start of the opener to secure the win, the Koiranen driver managing to hold off the threat of Antonio Fuoco. Dennis completed the podium in third. Albon beat poleman Arjun Maini off the line in race two and was never threatened to the flag. With former points leader Charles Leclerc only picking up a sixth and a third, Albon now tops the standings by three points… Kyle Busch dominated the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Indianapol­is last weekend, leading 141 of the 170 laps. Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson completed the podium, while returning four-time champion Jeff Gordon – who came out of retirement to deputise for the ill Dale Earnhardt Jr – was 13th… Honda will run an extra works car for Super GT racer Ryo Michigami for its home race of the World Touring Car Championsh­ip in September…
