Sergio Canamasas Español (born April 30, 1988 in Barcelona) is a racing driver from Spain.
Career
Formula Three
Canamasas made his Formula racing debut in 2007, racing in the Spanish Formula Three Championship for the Cetea Sport team. He took part in the final eight races of the season and was entered into the secondary Copa de España class for the older Dallara F300 chassis. He took a single class podium in the final round in Barcelona to finish eighth in the standings. The following season, Canamasas moved up to the main class with the team, but failed to score a point in the fourteen races he contested.[2]
For 2009, he continued in the series when it became known as the European F3 Open Championship, moving to the Emiliodevillota.com team. He finished the season in sixth place overall after taking podium places at Jarama, Jerez and Barcelona.[3]
Formula Renault 3.5 Series
In March 2010, Canamasas took part in all three Formula Renault 3.5 Series pre–season tests at Barcelona, Jerez and Motorland Aragón, driving for Fortec Motorsport,[4] ISR Racing[5] and SG Formula.[6] A week before the start of the season, he was confirmed at the new FHV Interwetten.com team, racing alongside 2009 European F3 Open champion Bruno Méndez.[7] He failed to score a point in the 16 races he competed in, the only full–time driver who failed to do so.[8] His best race result was a 14th place finish in the second Magny–Cours race.
After testing for various teams during the off–season, Canamasas drove for new team BVM-Target in the 2011 season, racing alongside fellow second-year driver Daniel Zampieri.[9] He finished eighth in the drivers' championship with a best finish of third at the Hungaroring, and also taking a pole position for the second race at the circuit.
GP2 Series
Canamasas began 2012 without a drive, but was signed by the Lazarus team to compete in the eighth round of the GP2 Series, alongside Giancarlo Serenelli and replacing Fabrizio Crestani.[10] He did not score any points from the ten races in which he competed.
Canamasas was one of the most spotted drivers during the sprint race of the Singapore round. After a brilliant start, Sergio prompted to 7th place from his initial 16th. However, after a few laps he was given a drive-through penalty due to one of his mechanics being incredibly slow walking off the grid before the formation lap. Although he was constantly being notified of the penalty by radio, Canamasas didn't enter into the pits within the required three laps, so on lap 7 his #18 number went on to be shown along a black flag, excluding him from the race standings.
Yet Canamasas did remain on the track, struggling with his car to get what would have been his first points in the championship. Thinking that Sergio's radio device might have failed or been switched off, his mechanics even deployed a sign to inform him to go to the pits (they even had to deploy Rene Binder's sign after the other Lazarus driver had his car stalled at the end of lap 9). Only on lap 18 did the Spanish driver go to the pits, when he reported having a mechanical problem as the reason to retire from the race, as well as stating he had no idea of him having been blackflagged. Canamasas was finally handed a fine for his actions, though the amount he had to pay has not been officially revealed.
