Also, Sam Bird has received a three place grid penalty for impeding Sergio Canamasas in GP2 qualifying.

 

Ericsson's driving brilliantly, hope he can hang onto this.

 

Another stupid crash by Cecotto, idiot. Palmer into the lead. Dillman's had a terrible afternoon.

 

Cecotto is unbelievable....can't believe he's allowed to race these things.

 

Jolyon Palmer wins the Hungary GP2 Feature Race.

 

Is that son of Dr Jonathan Palmer?

 

It is indeed, sir.

Ellinas is such a prick, after both quali and the race today he was driving up to people and gesticulating at them. His championship has taken a pounding this weekend, no points so far and he won't get many from 12th on the grid in the sprint race. I hope Vainio wins the title.

 

Must be the Greek-Cypriot thing

 

Regalia 1 point behind Ellinas now, 20 points between the top six.

Ellinas - 91
Regalia - 90
Vainio - 75
Harvey - 75
Korjus - 75
Daly - 71

 

Slept through the GP3 and GP2
