skells22 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
GP2 Asia Rounds 1&2 Yas Marina

i got pen news. Fauzy & Aleshin both did something wrong, Aleshin cross the line twice after the flag was out so 3 place pen but got in luck as Fauzy pick up a ten place grid pen for touching his team mate (and as we all know that is a no-no) Fauzy will start last and Aleshin will start a row ahead.

GP2 Asia Rounds 1&2 Yas Marina

Grosjean poleman.

Grid/times available on the website but anyone got any thoughts so far?

I think Ericsson, Kral did good jobs in qualy, Pic not so good!

What about AirAsia? I was expecting them to be a proper team, but they are even front-runners with Valsecchi, who seems to love this track. Berthon very close to Gutierrez for top rookie & disappointing Leimer & Rapax, but most of all Sam Bird((

Thank you, Skells!

Really looking forward to this, actually. Never watched a GP2 Asia race. Looks like a very strong line-up this year.

What do we think of the new cars? And how do we think they'll perform round the shortened Yas Marina? (ie. times in comparison to last year, overtaking etc)

They are hideous, the front reminds me of those daft 'fun karts' you used to find at holiday parks!

Forgot to mention Berthon's qualy which was very good as ivanalesi poited out.

Could be good in the midfield as a couple of the quicker guys make amends for crap qualy performances!

They didn't use the shortened version of the track in last year's Asia series, this configuration is about 12 seconds quicker. Although they have done several days testing on the normal, longer track layout, and the cars have already gone quicker than Oliver Turvey's pole position time for the final round of the 2010 main series.

As for the look of the cars, I think they look great! The wide front wing and out of proportion small rear wing simply make them look just like Formula 1 cars, and they have a tailfin which again looks similar. I grew used to the 2009 F1 cars quickly after originally thinking, like everyone else, they looked butt ugly. I think the Lotus ART is just as stunning as the Team Lotus F1 car.

What a total mess, multiple cars crashed on the finish and back straights. Amateur hour!

Those new Dallaras look hideous, too.

Well that was a pretty mental first 3-4 corners.
the Abu Dhabi pit lane exit isn't really designed for the whole field to come through together is it?

Red flag after 1 1/2 laps - would that make it a full restart?

Well, new car seems to decrease the dirty air zone but not enough to actually allow overtaking.

Tyres are holding out a bit too well for my liking - if they had run under SC longer instead of red flagging, pit stops would have been uneccesary.

Hmm... not quite as thrilling as I remember GP2 being! Maybe it's just the circuit.

If not, maybe next year they can bring back the 2006 cars? They were awesome

Yeah, but at least this new HRT Dallara gives drivers a better impression of what racing in F1 is all about... boring progression with very large gaps, and no overtaking. These mickey mouse "race tracks" won't help either. Still, this race was midly more entertaining than most of the grand prixs, mainly due to the lower driving standards.

I really liked the old car. Wish it was still here.
