Alex Lynn insists he and the DAMS Racing team will be leaving “no stone unturned” as he stays positive in the search for the winning formula that will get his GP2 Series title bid back on track.

Having headed into his home event in the GP2 calendar with high hopes of claiming victory, he came away pointless after only finishing 16th and 14th in the weekend’s two races.

It means the 22-year-old from Dunmow, who is also development driver for the Williams Martini Racing Formula One team, has taken points in just one of his last six races.

That form has dropped him down to ninth in the championship standings, but he has vowed that he and his DAMS Racing team will turn things around to rediscover the pace they need to challenge back at the top.

He said: “There’s no getting away from it – Silverstone, my home race weekend and a track I absolutely love – was a massively tough event for me.

“After a couple of tricky weekends in the GP2 Series I was confident we could bounce back, but it’s clear there’s a lot of work to be done between myself and DAMS before the next round in Hungary.

“Everything felt okay in free practice.

“It just seemed like a normal start to the weekend and a pretty decent free practice session, however, my pace fell away completely later in the day in qualifying.

“I am honestly still totally baffled at how I was 1.7 seconds off the pace.

“And when you finish qualifying like that, you’ve got no chance of recovering to a good position in a championship as competitive as GP2.”

That was exactly how it panned out for Lynn as his pace wasn’t there in the feature race and a 16th-place finish put him well down the grid for the next day’s sprint race, from where he was only able to drive to 14th spot.

Lynn added: “This is a difficult period, and we have to keep our confidence up across the team that we can recover this.

“After all, it’s only a few weekends since I was winning at the first round of the season at Barcelona, and I even took a podium last time out at the Red Bull Ring.

“I’m also encouraged when I look at the points. I’ve scored only ten points over the past six races, but everyone else has been so inconsistent that I’m still only 28 off the top.

“That could be made up with one pole and one win.

“We have to take these positives into the next round in Hungary. I won there last year, in what was a real high spot of my season.

“Things can only get better and I promise you that myself and DAMS will be leaving no stone unturned between now and then.”

Lynn put his difficult GP2 Series weekend behind him, though, when he rejoined the Silverstone circuit for Formula One testing with the Williams Martini Racing team on Tuesday.

Lynn is development driver for the Williams team and was sharing testing duties with Valtteri Bottas in his second F1 test of the season.
