GP2 @ Hockenheim

GP2 Race 1 at Hockenheim was good! Although I was never really a fan of Nelson Piquet after I read Nigel Mansell's Autobiography, I really felt for his son in this race, his car stopping on the last lap after tagging the back of the car in front at the hairpin and sliding out of the turn he seemed to lose drive, reportedly due to a fuel pump issue. Lewis Hamilton came back from 8th on the grid to finish 2nd - helped by drive through penalties for Piquet Jr. and Timo Glock.

Race 2 was not quite as exciting, more bad news for Piquet Jr. as he failed to leave the grid on the warm up lap and they couldn't get the car started, so no points for him this weekend and that leaves Lewis Hamilton in an extremely commanding position in the Championship as he moved his way from seventh on the grid to third. You also had to feel for Lopez, he is a very good driver and he will make F1 in the next couple of years, he led the race from Pole Position only for his tyres to go off towards the end and Glock caught him and forced a mistake on the final lap to take the win.
