3 Jake Rosenzweig: Hopelessly slow and miles off Haryanto. Rightly on no points when guys who've only done 5-6 races already have points while Rosenzweig has done all 14 races says it all

2 Sergio Canamasas: Too many incidents and accidents not all his fault but still some pretty dangerous driving has hurt him such as nearly carving up Ceccon in Bahrain amongst others. Like Rosenzweig he has started all 14 races so far and still not scored any points.

1 Johnny Cecotto: Where to start here? Forced Bird off the track in Malaysia Qualifying, Pulled that deliberate swipe on Canamasas in Spain, Causing the first lap pile up in Monaco and getting involved in the battle for 2nd when he was a lap down in Hungary. While Canamasas has been crap for years now Cecotto had just come off the back of 2 Wins and 4 podiums in 2012 and a trio of 5th places (one of which was his actions in Spain) is the best he's done this season. I never thought there was someone who could put Andy Neate to shame but Cecotto has well and truly done that this season

It's like I was saying; GP2 is largely devoid of great talents. That Coletti can have a decent gap despite scoring once from the last six races is a very bad sign.

Yeah, it was a bit of a silly incident. However, I think De Jong also can lay claim to any criticism after cutting up Haryanto just before Eau Rouge.

Adderly Fong's assault on Patric Niederhauser was also very silly the GP3 race; the latter was minding his own business and Fong decided that braking was a thing of the past.

East Londoner wrote:Coletti has now scored once in the last EIGHT races, and yet still leads the championship through sheer blind luck. He was running in the lower top 10, but I think his tyres died on him, which meant he got mugged by about 9 different drivers on one lap.

Great win for James Calado. He's now only 26 points away from the lead of the championship.

And of course, the weekend wouldn't be complete if Johnny Cecotto wasn't involved in some sort of incident, although this time it was Clos's fault.

...GP2 is more like Status Quo, seeing as there's a Rossi and a Lancaster in there. All we need now is for the previously unknown driver Sebastian Parfitt to magically appear in the Red Bull Young Drivers' stable and be given a seat at Arden after Johnny Cecotto crashes one time too many.

Of course, if Rossi and Lancaster could be driving for the same team...

Would Gary Paffett be close enough?

Freeze-O-Kimi wrote:Well GP2's maddest nutters were at it again today. Canamasas forcing Cecotto off the track more than once and multiple contact being made.

Carlin take my ROTR nomination for wasting a good qualifying by having 2 disastrous pit-stops and a rare engine failure. RUSSIAN TIME are now on their tail in the TC now
