Andy Soucek extended his overall points advantage, taking his fourth victory of the season in race one and clinching second in race two.

Mikhail Aleshin scored his maiden F2 victory in the second race, propelling him to second in the championship, two points above fellow Red Bull driver Robert Wickens.

In Race 1, Andy Soucek scored a dominant victory in the opening race at Oschersleben on Saturday, converting pole position into his fourth win of 2009.

The Spaniard made a clean getaway from the line to lead the pack into the first corner, but behind him several drivers were caught out as Tobias Hegewald made contact with Robert Wickens, tipping him into a spin.

The incident led to a safety car period, but Soucek maintained his lead from the restart and never looked back as he took victory by just over six seconds.

Mikhail Aleshin scored his maiden victory in Formula Two in the second race at Oschersleben, although he had to fend off the attentions of Andy Soucek and Julien Jousse for the entire race.
