At the start, shooting in slow motion for Greg creating panic in the middle of the group. In first corner, Sburroso, Cardozo and other drivers went off and the Force India hit GM Serra, who closed the first lap in 5th. In third sector there was a contact between Nieto and Cardozo, while at the end of the lap Nieto and Sburroso pitted.
