He was involved in a pileup at the start of race one at the Race of the United States, and along with Aleksei Dudukalo and Alberto Cerqui was forced to retire. Early on in the second race, he crashed and his car was left near the apex of turn five for the rest of the race. He got his second point of the season in the season finale at Macau, finishing tenth once again. His two points meant he finished 24th in the championship having participated in half the races.
