In February 2007, BCN Competición announced that they had signed Risatti for the 2007 GP2 series .

During the sprint race in Spa-Francorchamps , Risatti came into the public eye: Even before the race started, Risatti collided with overall leader Timo Glock on the way to the starting grid and was subsequently punished with a fine of 10,000 euros. For the last race weekend Risatti was replaced by Sergio Hernández .
