Hamilton takes GP2 Title

In his first year of GP2 racing, Lewis Hamilton has taken the GP2 championship title from his closest rival Nelson Piquet Jnr.

Hamilton finished behind Piquet in third position, and it looked like he would have to finish well in the Sunday race to clinch the title, as he needed one more point.

However later in the day the stewards deemed that the fastest lap from Giorgio Pantano was set during a yellow flag, and this then gave Hamilton the one point needed to take the title.

Cracking Weekend

As I have mentioned earlier, the F1 weekend will be a cracker. There will be a bunch of announcements, and some fun on the track; hopefully with rain to add the extra spice.

The partner races for F1 this year, GP2 is going to have a great weekend as well. With only 10 points between Hamilton and Piquet in the GP2 championship, it boils down to this.

If Piquet can only manage to score 7 point’s more than Hamilton this weekend, then Hamilton will take the championship. If not then Senna has a chance.
