Markus Niemelä to GP2

[Harakimi]

Finn Markus Niemelä (23) will take the seat Sakon Yamamoto left on BCN-Team.

This season Niemelä has been racing in Asia Formula Renault series, where he's competed in 4 starts catching 2 wins and one second place.

That's great, he's been a race winner in every class of his career so far (FFords, Formula BMW and Formula Renault 2.0) so it's good he gets a shot.

And he seems to be a nice chap too as I had some email correspondence with him a year or so ago regarding some Formula Ford stats and he was most helpful. :)
