This boy looks class. God knows how many seconds he would have won by had his team got him out of the pits first instead of third.

Has been a bit outclassed though this weekend - and indeed for most of the GP2 series.

Lots of variables too - with the way ART are going at the moment, it looks asthough you could put my grandma in any of their one make cars at the moment and she'd do OK - unfortunately Mr Piquet's boys can't appear to drag the car to the same level.

You mean Nico Rosberg he is not surely...

Outside of Surtees past the Aussie and then admits he forgot about the boost button in A1GP Feature race becasue he was not used to having one? Yeah, I think Piquet Jr has a nice bright future ahead of him!!!

I didn't think he shone in the GP2 support race for the British GP FWIW, whereas Rosberg was clearly in a class of his own. Admittedly though, grid position plays a massive part in that series.

Piquet is well funded, and as such has had access to the best machinery too

Rosberg, Kovaleinen and Adam Carroll have outshone Piquet this year in GP2.

He was the class of the field in British F3 last year, and clearly was in A1GP at the weekend, but he never went wheel to wheel with Kerr, who is the only guy on the A1GP grid that I think has the same amount of talent.
