The 2008 GP2 Season Review
Giorgio Pantano took the GP2 title in his seventh season in Formula One's feeder category, finally winning the championship that both he and Bruno Senna seemed determined to throw away
Perhaps unfairly, Giorgio Pantano has become the yardstick by which all the other GP2 drivers are measured.
The 29-year-old Italian has taken part in all four seasons of GP2 since his year in Formula One with Jordan in 2004 - he didn't do enough to convince F1 to keep him for longer than that one season, but he did prove himself useful alongside Nick Heidfeld - and he was winning races in F3000 for three years before his F1 break, so he knows the series inside out and is a very capable benchmark.
