Canamasas without his front wing. :roll:

And he's staying out on the track.

EDIT: For once, it wasn't his fault. Jon Lancaster tipped him into a spin.

OMG Canamasas and Lancaster connect and The Spanish Nutter chooses to stay out with no front wing

AdrianSutil · Post by **AdrianSutil** » 27 Jul 2013, 14:17

C'Mon Palmer!! He's got a great chance for the win here.

Great move by Palmer. It was a superb battle between him and Ericsson.

Cecotto's front wing is flapping around. And he stays out. :roll:

WTF IS HE DOING!?

Cecotto passing people with no front wing, suddenly this is crazy racing.

Post by **Londoner** » 27 Jul 2013, 14:35

Cecotto ran straight into the back of Dillman, which would explain why he's dropping through the order. :roll:

And he gets a DTP for his troubles...

Ericsson should let Nasr past, he just ran him off the road.

Post by **Londoner** » 27 Jul 2013, 14:39

Simon Trummer is in 6th?! Now you know the world's truly gone insane... :shock:

Are they seriously investigating the Nasr-Ericsson incident? :roll:

WTF is Cecotto doing?!

Teixera seems to be out of the race.

Post by **Londoner** » 27 Jul 2013, 14:42

Well, Cecotto has just completely ignored his team and passed Nasr and Ericsson. :roll:

Minardi Man · Post by **Minardi Man** » 27 Jul 2013, 14:43

What the hell Cecotto...

Good job by Palmer though, great to see him win.

No he hasn't. But the rules are different in GP2. You have to run both compounds but not in the same race.

It's been a great race really. Fantastic win for Palmer, fully deserved.

AdrianSutil · Post by **AdrianSutil** » 27 Jul 2013, 14:46

I wonder if the GP3 race will be just as good? We'll find out in half an hour :lol:

Completing this strange day Nathaniel Berthon who had a best finish of 15th before today has the reversed grid pole while the day wouldn't have been completerer if Cecotto wasn't being an idiot again :roll:

Cecotto is having seven shades of shite kicked out of him on Twitter right now, and for good reason. He ruined Dillmann's race, and then he ruined the battle for second.

The thing is, has he always driven like this, or is it just this season that he's seen the red mist?

I believe that he is in Singapore.

He's always been a bit of a wild one, but this season he's turned from overly-aggressive to downright dangerous.

Jack Harvey and Lewis Williamson together on row 3 for the GP3 race. Should be good with all the faster drivers near the front.

Is it just me, or does Johnny Cecotto Jr look like an escaped boy band member?

Good boy, Aaro, now go and win that championship..

Barbazza · Post by **Barbazza** » 27 Jul 2013, 18:02

I don't usually watch the GP2 races, but for once I was in front of the Sky F1 this afternoon watching it. I must admit that I was quite confused when it was near the end of the race and Cecotto hadn't done anything mental. I needn't have worried...

good_Ralf · Post by **good_Ralf** » 27 Jul 2013, 18:29

NASR 3rd!!! I dare say that he really is in contention for the title now. Nice to see banzai-Jolyon win.

Woo-hoo.

Bleu · Post by **Bleu** » 27 Jul 2013, 19:34

Nasr seems to be trying to join "win a championship without winning the race" club.

Post by **Ataxia** » 27 Jul 2013, 23:45

Having been out all day, I recorded the race. From a Tom perspective...I needn't have bothered.

It's incredible isn't it. 5 drivers seperated by just 16pts with 3rd 4th and 5th all on 75pts. Kevin Korjus looks like he's going to copy Nasr by not winning a race

My money (I'm not betting on anything) is on Jack Harvey, the reigning British F3 champ.

Nathanaël Berthon scored his first GP2 win in the sprint race. Nasr was 5th and is 6 points off the title lead.

Berthon had a great weekend didn't he and suddenly he look so much better now.

Stefano Coletti for Reject Of The Weekend because he was absolutely shocking. I think Trummer and Coletti swapped cars for this weekend.

The ChiltonCraze has a new challenger: the TeixeiraTrend!

The Angolan legend immediately showed why he deserves to be in GP2. In the feature race, he had to start from the pit lane but managed to finish ahead of polesitter Tom Dillmann! He was also running sixth for several laps, ahead of the eventual race winner. In the sprint race, he had another brilliant performance and beat current championship leader Stefano Coletti.

There are many racing fans who haven't come to appreciate the talent of Mr. Teixeira so I will include some evidence of his talent in this post:

Teixeira is ahead of Ma Qing Hua in the GP2 championship.
Ma famously outpaced Giedo van der Garde in Abu Dhabi last year.
Van der Garde won the World Series by Renault in 2008.
Sebastian Vettel had attempted to do the same one year earlier but only finished fifth.
Of the current F1 drivers, Vettel has the most championships.

Ricardo Teixeira is clearly one of the best drivers ever.

What about Sergio C or whoever caused the shunt at the start of the sprint race? That was a big one, bigger than any in F1 this year.

We expect Can'tamasas to be bad but Coletti just had no pace at all and he was way behind Trummer and that's before we mention he's the world championship leader

RUSSIAN TIME are planning a full three-car entrant in GP3 next year. They've also announced a prospective partnership with Williams.

As a huge fan of Motopark (which is RUSSIAN TIME, without the Russian owner) driver Marvin Kirchhofer (currently leading the German F3 by 100 points), this is really good news
