top stuff from hamilton and carroll. the in car footage from adam was awesome, he had that car all over the place and was making good progress up the field. I was pleased that the two french A1 drivers did well as I thought their success was not recognised given the lack of quality through the A1 grid. Piquet was awesome though, he seems to be able to pull quick laps out whenever he wants much like schumacher m could do (back in the day!).

the reduced rear downforce was a good move by the organisers, the cars looked tricky to dive on the limit and especially through traffic, it should make GP2 far more enjoyable to watch that F1 this year...

Thanks for the alert. Very entertaining - despite the efforts of the Italian TV director.

What happened to Hamilton?... One minute battling for lead, then disappeared during pit-stops / safety car!

Found out what happened to Hamilton...

www.gp2series.com said:
The inevitable safety car was out, and the top nine drivers were all straight into the pits. Hamilton looked to have won the battle of the pitlane, but he had actually done his drive through penalty for jumping the start rather than his compulsory pitstop. He sped off down the road, following the two Campos drivers past the safety car as they were waved past for being a lap down, before coming back to the pitlane for his pitstop and then joining the queue on track.

In front of him the drivers lined up behind the safety car were Bruni, Yoshimoto, Piquet, Premat, Lapierre, Ammermüller, Ernesto Viso and Carroll.

They were let loose to race again, and Piquet ran slightly wide but had the inside line for the final chicane, squeezing inside Yoshimoto and into second place. The Japanese driver then had Premat on his tail, with the Frenchman losing out to his countryman Lapierre for fourth one lap later.

Hamilton was soon into the pits once again, but this time he wasn't coming out – he had been black flagged for overtaking the safety car, and all of his hard work had been for nothing.

Doh.... schoolboy error!
