    Autosport say that he's signed now, they imply it's for the season (though few drives are in GP2). I don't think they're going to score any points this year...

    Well, qualifying for the Spanish GP implies that the biggest favourites are going to deliver (Grosjean 1st, di Grassi 2nd, Hülkenberg 4th) with Petrov between them. Maldonado (10th, last year's pole-sitter!), Parente (14th, last year's winner and winter tests with ORT were promising) and Kobayashi (22nd?!) were biggest disappointments.

    Yess, Grosjean won the first race of the year!
    Parente was moving nicely upwards, but had a crash with di Grassi. :\
    Nice rise by van der Garde and Kobayashi.
    Filippi 4th - wonder if he is starting to refind himself after 2007?

    Fantastic racing. They all seemed to be pushing for positions. Big to Grosjean for the win, Di Grassi for never giving up and Maldonado for constantly piling pressure on whoever seemed to be ahead of him.

    Looks more and more like Grosjean is gonna walk this championship like he did in GP2 Asia last year. He's really really good (IMO) - clearly the best GP2 driver I have seen to date. He's also only one win from equalling Pantanos record for 9 wins in GP2.

    I agree but that after that smash in Monaco, it just seems a peculiar time to be mentioning Grosjean. :

    I would like to be the first person to publically apologise to Alberto Valerio - that's one way to prove us all wrong!

    Valerio's win was indeed a huge surprise.

    What a pity that Parente never gets any decent race results after great qualifying sessions. Oh why?!

    Grosjean hasn't been that convincing in recent race weekends, but still keeps a solid championship leads. It looks like pre-season title favourites are gradually getting clear in the championship (GRO, DIG; HÜL, MAL). There is also a joker in Petrov between them - wonder, how long will he keep it up?

    Haha! Soucek's finally impounded the FMS cars, only a year and a half after he was sacked! And Fisichella doesn't even own the team any more! I'm guessing that if he wins the F2 championship then he still won't be able to get a GP2 seat now
