GP2 Live Commenting – Spain (Race 2)
Posted by woodwissf1 on April 27, 2008
Well, yesterday’s GP2 season opener was a corker! Collisions on the first lap, the pole sitter stalled at the start, and there was even a safety car period. But at the end of it all, rookie and WSR graduate Alvaro Parente drove an excellent race to win his first GP2 race.
This morning, we get to see the mad dash that is the sprint race – no pitstops, just out and out racing! You can watch the live coverage on ITV4 either on TV or if you can only reach a computer, on the ITV website. Just click the ITV4 logo on the simulcast window on the homepage.
OK, so lets whet our motorsport appetites for today before the F1 race today!

who was kubica cheering on from the pits?
woodwissf1 said
Hey
I think he was cheering on buemi or pantano, not sure
woodwissf1 said
Petrov out
sidepodcast said
seems to be less incidents this race. did we miss anything, or have they settled down a bit?
woodwissf1 said
There was contact on lap 1 at turn 4, and Valles and hanley got together at turn 1, but apart from that, they all seem to be behaving themselves
woodwissf1 said
teammates Zuber and Maldonado decide to fight each other in turn 5, Zuber gets the place.
sidepodcast said
oooh safety car.
woodwissf1 said
Saftey car, Ricci the cause after spinning at the chicane.
woodwissf1 said
Grosjean was walking this race easy, he started 3rd and made it up to 2nd at turn 1, then passed kobayashi there a couple of laps later.
sidepodcast said
whoooops, worst restart ever!
woodwissf1 said
Leader wide! Wow, this is great! Side by side!
Maldonado gets back past Zuber, but not without arguing over the place.
sidepodcast said
leader w/drive through, wow bad news for him.
woodwissf1 said
Maldonado and Villa collide, velsecchi goes past both of them.
Hanley and d’ambrosio collide, apparently the stewards are looking grosjean’s defending of kobayashi.
Grosjean, the race leader, gets a drive through penalty!
woodwissf1 said
Do you think Grosjean might pull a Schumacher and do his drive through on the final lap
sidepodcast said
“Do you think Grosjean might pull a Schumacher and do his drive through on the final lap”
ha, you are feeding DC your best lines
woodwissf1 said
I’m not, I swear!
I’m watching ITV4 online, so it’s not 100% live, it’s about a minute behind.
woodwissf1 said
Grosjean in.
woodwissf1 said
So, Kobayashi inherits the win, Buemi second, Pantano, Senna and velsecchi
sidepodcast said
that was an enjoyable finish
apologies for missing the start there, will get into as the season progresses.
woodwissf1 said
no problem, glad you enjoyed.
Of course, it’s your turn turn later
