Well done Jolyon P!

[phatgixer]

Great drive in GP2 to take well deserved win. Boy has come on well and hopefully he can build on it...

Shame he looks so much like his dad!

Pleased for him as he is a perfectly nice boy but have to say I think he is wasting his time in single seaters.

GP2 is good to have on the CV even if you go sports car racing. Most of the leading LMP drivers have dabbled with open wheelers.

If anyone has Twitter, they should follow him.. he takes no st, despite apparently dropping himself in it repeatedly! Great to see a relatively high profile racer publicly speaking his mind and damn the consequences.

Agree that he seems pretty handy, too. World Endurance Championship wouldn't be a bad idea.

I still think that with his opportunities he should be a much better driver

You may have a point, he didn't look so good today when it was more about racing.

3 years in GP2, 2 wins, 2 3rd places.

Mitch Evans is three years younger, in his first season of GP2 and has already had 3 3rds and 1 2nd.

James Calado is in his 2nd season and has had 3 2nd places, 1 3rd.

Its unfair to criticise Palmer for taking the chances he's given but you do have to wonder if a less well financed driver would be able to continue at the level he is.

Of the young drivers that are around its a real shame Dean Stoneman was struck down by illness. I'd also like to see what Robin Frijns could do given a seat.

Well, ou say that, but how much of his father's nasal drawl could you stand?

He's worked hard and deserves this success. I see him as a Damon Hill/Nigel Mansell grafter than a Hamilton type natural, but he's come a long way since I first saw him looking a bit nervous about Cadwell Park in the T-car championship.
