BCN sign Risatti

Risatti, 20, who is the reigning Spanish Formula Three champion will hook up with Formula One refugee Sakon Yamamoto in the squad run by Enrique Scalabroni.

"The arrival of a young talent like Ricardo Risatti will be perfectly complemented by the experience that Sakon Yamamoto will bring to our team," said Scalabroni.

"I am firmly convinced BCN will have one of the most equilibrated couple of drivers in GP2, and that could allow us to get many satisfactions throughout the season."

Risatti, whose Spanish Formula Three title came in his first season outside of South American racing, is excited about his step-up.

Risatti said: "Working with BCN team and with my fellow countryman Enrique Scalabroni fills me with enthusiasm. I am really motivated:

"I will have to learn a lot about the GP2 world, but I am ready to face this new challenge with the maximum determination and professionalism".
