Jérôme d’Ambrosio clinched victory in race 2 in Monaco after he led from start to finish.

The Belgian driver had the advantage to start from pole position (thanks to grid reverse regulation), as he finished 8th of race 1 on Saturday. At the start, he kept the lead, while Razia was overtaken by Giedo Van der Garde at the first corner.

Razia lost two more positions in the next laps when Jules Bianchi (who eventually took 3rd place) and Johnny Cecotto passed the Brazilan driver. Razia took 5th position just ahead of race 1 winner Sergio Perez.

Perez is now the championship leader after Monaco, ahead of Pastor Maldonado (who had a drive through for jumping the start) and Dani Clos.
