Except that now it's it will be the official Renault Jr. team and that means better mecanics and more money.

DPR did hire at lot of new macanisc before the GP2 Asia season and apparantly that paied off - big time.

Van der Garde ... that arrogant prik doesn't have the slightest chance of fighting for the title. Those mecanics I talked to at iSport called him lazy and self-centered and that he wasn't preparing himself well enough before the races. Remember this is the guy who skipped a sprint-race because he had to go back home to collect a trophy ... pfffff ... talk about getting your priorities right.
