Barwa Addax
Encyclopedia
Barwa Addax Team is a Spanish
motorsport
team owned by Alejandro Agag
, which competes in the GP2 Series
, GP3 Series
and formerly in the GP2 Asia Series
.
GP2 team. Campos Racing was started by former Formula One
driver Adrián Campos
in 1998, and competed in the GP2 Series
since its inaugural season in 2005
. After the 2008 season
, in which Campos won the teams' championship, he elected to step down and pass control of the GP2 team to Agag, a businessman with motorsport interests. Campos Racing continues to compete in the European F3 Open Championship, and in they entered Formula One as Campos Meta 1 before being taken over and renamed Hispania Racing. Agag renamed the team Addax
after the eponymous species of antelope, and retained the name of team sponsor Barwa International, a Qatari
real estate
company, for the 2009 season.
Addax signed 2008 GP2 Asia Series season
champion Romain Grosjean
and existing Campos driver Vitaly Petrov
for its 2009
campaign. Grosjean took the team's first pole position during the opening qualifying session of the season, in Barcelona
. He also took the team's first win, leading home Petrov in a 1-2 finish. Both drivers quickly established themselves as championship contenders.
Following Nelson Piquet Jr's departure from the Renault F1
team, Grosjean, who was the team's third driver, was drafted in to replace him from the 2009 European Grand Prix
onwards. Grosjean's seat was taken by Durango
driver Davide Valsecchi
. Despite his absence from the final eight races of the season, Grosjean finished fourth in the championship with two wins, a tally matched by Petrov, who was Nico Hülkenberg's main rival for the championship and eventually finished runner-up. Addax had the consolation of winning the teams' championship in the first season season competing with its new name.
For the 2010 season
, Petrov graduated to Formula One, also with Renault, and Valsecchi moved to the iSport International
team, so Addax signed second-year drivers Giedo van der Garde
and Sergio Pérez
. Pérez quickly assumed the role of team leader, winning five races and establishing himself as eventual champion Pastor Maldonado
's main rival, whilst Van der Garde finished seventh overall with three podium finishes. Addax was narrowly beaten to the teams' championship by Rapax, which scored five more points.
Van der Garde remianed with the team for the 2011 season
, and the F1-bound Pérez was replaced by Charles Pic
, now also in his second year in GP2. Although he did not win a race, Van der Garde scored a consistent string of podium finishes in the first half of the season which established him in second place in the championship behind runaway leader Grosjean, now back in the series and driving for DAMS
. However, he slipped back to fifth in the standings after a poor end to the season and was pipped by Pic, who impressed with three pole positions and two race victories. Despite finishing fourth and fifth in the drivers' standings, Addax won its second teams' championship by virtue of the fact that the top three—Grosjean, Luca Filippi
and Jules Bianchi
—had all been partnered with team-mates who scored much fewer points by comparison.
. In the 2008-09 season
, Petrov and Pérez finished fifth and seventh respectively in the drivers' standings, with three wins between them, whilst Addax finished third in the teams' standings. For the 2009-10 season, the team ran the drivers it would employ for the main series (Pérez and Van der Garde) at some rounds, but also fielded Max Chilton
, Luiz Razia
and Rodolfo González
at others; the changes restricted the team to tenth in the championship. For the final GP2 Asia season in 2011
, Addax reverted to running its main series drivers (Van der Garde and Pic) throughout. Van der Garde took two podium finishes to finish third overall, but Pic failed to score any points.
championship in 2010
. It was one of only two existing GP2 teams to compete in GP3 as well, the other being ART Grand Prix
. The team's three drivers were Felipe Guimarães
, Pablo Sánchez López
and Mirko Bortolotti
. None of the three featured strongly, with two podium finishes between them the team's best results, and they finished 16th, 30th and 11th in the championship respectively. Addax finished eighth in the teams' championship.
For the 2011 season
, Addax recruited Dominic Storey
, Gabriel Chaves
and Dean Smith
. Chaves was the only driver to complete the season, as Storey was replaced by Tom Dillmann
after two rounds of the championship, and Vittorio Ghirelli
took Smith's seat for the final round. On this occasion, Smith was the best of the five, scoring two podium finishes and setting a fastest lap to take 12th overall; Chaves was 19th and Storey 37th; Dillman and Ghirelli were 14th and 25th having also competed for other teams. Addax again finished eighth in the teams' championship, but with eight more points than in 2010.
