Don't watch if you like front wings.

I think they oughta kick the drivers out and just give random bystanders a go, most of that was absolutely unforgivable for professional drivers.

Oh dear - loving the team mates taking each other out!

[woof]

But the good news is that Sam Bird is on pole for todays feature race

And this is the feeder series for F1. Idiots!

It's a good job i've watched a lot of GP2 before because this would put me off somewhat. The majority of incidents look easily avoidable. As in you can pretty much see whats going to happen seconds in advance. The worrying thing is if they cannot qualify around Monaco without taking each other out how on earth are they going to race around there?!

[Munter]

Problem appears to be very slow cars, being caught by cars on fast laps. Around Monaco I think thats pretty dangerous as the fast car is likely to be unsighted, and not have time to do anything about it.

I don't think they'll be deliberately going slow during the race so I wouldn't think we'll see the same problems. Different problems possibly.

Priceless.. I think they should make F1 the support race for the GP2 series. I did have to wait until the end of the clip, to work out if anyone actually qualified or not.

And what happened to the blue car a mirabeau at the end?? Did it run out of batteries?

Bit of a boon for Grosjean. He seems a bit handy in GP2.

Absolutely, it didn't look easy, but there was a lot of white flags being waved so they should have been able to avoid contact. C of C will have his work cut out! Expecting a few safety cars in the race!

The queue of cars there is absolutely crazy. Two abreast!? That's a rolling road block

[chevronb37]

No idea how he managed it but Grosjean went from 26th on the grid to 4th in the race. Sounds heroic!

Quite. I'm sure the F1 team managers will be looking a lot closer at the World Series by Renault based on the current standard of driving in GP2. The only real difference between the two series is that GP2 drivers have more money than WSR drivers - they certainly don't have more talent though.

WSBR? Not when you have drivers like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIftZ1IwThc

WSBR is already a credible alternative to GP2 though. Perhaps F3 Euroseries should get a more serious look-in as well.
