i have some good news with TV for 5 Feb GP2 Asia, the feature race is live on Eurosport 2 at 2.00pm (if you have got it)

skells22 · 30 Jan 2010, 18:14 (Ref:2622351)

you can see the 2nd race live as well, Saturday 6 feb. 2pm Eurosport 2

jondownunder · 30 Jan 2010, 18:46 (Ref:2622394)

Great news on the live coverage this time around, a shame many of us will be at work for race 1. Hope Martin Haven & Gareth Rees are commentating - NOT Mr Kirby.

skells22 · 31 Jan 2010, 11:43 (Ref:2622707)

for those that are at work for race 1 there is a hour showing of it before race 2 on Saturday or if you have any way of taping it do so.

Oh don't worry, I'll be Sky plussing the live coverage

Unfortunately Eurosport's butchering of coverage for their repeats makes it impossible to follow a race properly. Thanks for the scheduling info.

Javier Villa to replace Rodolfo Gonzalez in Arden.

Mekola · 2 Feb 2010, 23:14 (Ref:2625326)

What about Ericsson and Bianchi? Will Jules drive for this race onwards for ART? Will Ericsson move to SuperNova or not?

Fujer · 3 Feb 2010, 09:52 (Ref:2625559)

Ericsson will race in AD with Super Nova yes, he wrote in his blog that he is in AD now and is pumped for this weekend. And i think Bianchi will drive for ART to.

On the renault topic, its all Money Money Money....in a rich mans world!!
Eric will be laughing all the way to the luxemburg bank!

Anyway, anyone got live timing foor the Asia FP or qual????

Rf1 Fan · 4 Feb 2010, 17:14 (Ref:2626657)

Charles PIc on pole position!

Dan Friel · 4 Feb 2010, 19:00 (Ref:2626728)

It was very very dusty..

skells22 · 4 Feb 2010, 19:04 (Ref:2626729)

just been told that Fillppi has been given a 5 grid pen for causing the crash with Turvey therefore there is a change in the grid.

skells22 · 5 Feb 2010, 09:24 (Ref:2627112)

Rossi has gone to the back of the grid for today 33 lap lap race.

not really a good news for Meritus but not really a surprise , they are well known in Asia for running cars out of the rules, they were already disqualified in 2007 for using wrong set of tyres in Sentul...

I don't think that's fair. They accidentally put Yamamoto's tyres on Filippi's car. I can't imagine that they would have spotted an issue on Filippi's new set on tyres and switched them. They stood to gain nothing by doing it deliberately.

And same in this instance, it seems like human error rather than anything deliberate

skells22 · 5 Feb 2010, 13:13 (Ref:2627241)

that is the reason, not long now before i watch the race!

Mekola · 5 Feb 2010, 15:13 (Ref:2627299)

1-2 for iSport, Turvey won followed by Valsecchi in race one. Jules Bianchi did an amazing 3rd in his debut. Both DPR drivers entered in the points with Ricci 5th and Herck 7th. Chilton, 8th, will be on pole tomorrow.

skells22 · 5 Feb 2010, 15:17 (Ref:2627302)

result could change due to a litte moment with the yellow and black car

Mekola · 5 Feb 2010, 15:19 (Ref:2627304)

DPR has no luck... in the eve of last year Herck finished on points but was penalised...

well he should have left Ericsson more room tbh..

ivanalesi · 5 Feb 2010, 15:27 (Ref:2627308)

It was a bit stupid, but DPR rocked today! I think Ricci backed off at the end and Herck went too late for tyre change.
Great race, at one point 6 cars were in the lead pack, both Turvey and Valsecchi banged wheels at one point, but still finished 1-2.
For once, there were no problems with the live-timing, it's so much better now and Arabadzhiev had several 51.8-9 laps with his late tyre change, got the fastest lap, but won't get the point. I think Valsecchi had 51.8 and will take the extra point.

jab · 5 Feb 2010, 15:28 (Ref:2627309)

Rossi 6th after starting last. Excellent job. In with a good shout of winning tomorrow, I reckon

runshaw · 5 Feb 2010, 16:45 (Ref:2627350)

What happened to Filippi? Up to 4th on the final lap from the back of the grid but retired.

Result has changed due to Perez overtaking under the SC and get 25 secs added to his time.
