GP Too: the Month of Madness
Eight races in four countries crammed into one month - this is what the GP2 circus had to contend with in July. And what a month it was...
The month of July was an endurance test for everyone in the GP2 paddock, a marathon to be paced out evenly to reach the end of it after a month watching and waiting as the Formula One teams flew over to North America without them. Four rounds in five weekends, eight races in four countries, each with extreme weather and nowhere to hide, from the weather or from the scoreboard.
Heikki Kovalainen started the month with a nine point lead over Scott Speed, and a seventeen point gap back to Nico Rosberg in fifth place in the Championship, and the Finn's coronation was already being openly discussed as a matter of when, not if. The best driver in the best car, they said; you can't beat a combination like that.
