Fast Frog

In his first exclusive column for autosport.com, Nicolas Lapierre looks ahead to the second GP2 round of the year at San Marino where, he says, "a win is possible"

There's only one thing I have to say about Imola: kerbs! They dominate the circuit - the way you drive, the way you set up the car - everything. Get them right, and you're sure to have a fast lap. Get them wrong, and you could find yourself spinning, losing time, or even damaging the car.

The main ones to watch out for are the kerbs at the top chicane - Variante Alta. This section is really critical for a good lap, so it's important to know what you're doing there. When you get them just right, they don't upset the car too much and you can carry a lot of speed through. But when you hit them wrong, you really know about it!
