GP2: Carlin shuffles lineup for Hockenheim

Carlin has shuffled its GP2 lineup for this weekend's German Grand Prix supporting races at Hockenheim, with Rene Binder replacing Sergio Canamasas alongside Marvin Kirchhofer.

GP2 veteran Canamasas joined the team – the sixth he has raced for in the championship – in a late deal on the eve of the season and has taken two top-six finishes so far.

He now steps aside for Binder, who is racing in Formula V8 3.5 this year but did make a one-off GP2 return at the Red Bull Ring to stand in for the suspended Nobuharu Matsushita at ART.

Having finished in the midfield in Austria, the 24-year-old said he had "unfinished business" in GP2.

"However all in all my season so far is going well, given the four podiums that I have achieved in Formula V8 3.5," Binder added. "I feel in good shape and just want to make the best of it."

Carlin has taken one podium finish so far in GP2 this season with Kirchhofer's runner-up spot in the second Monaco race.
