For the teams which didn't send tyre choices, I randomized it. With wets having announced for two drivers and intermediates for 12, with the randomizer it's 6/7 chance of picking inters and 1/7 chance of picking wets.

And the result is...di Resta picking wets and the rest inters.

Start: Glock gets off quite badly and is overtaken by Kovalainen an di Resta. Petrov and Philippe get past Senna but then collide at La Source. Both are out of the race already.
Lap 1: di Resta shows why wets were better choice at the start. He goes past Kovalainen and builds 2.8-second lead during the first lap! All other gaps are under a second but as queue extends, the last driver is already 13.2 seconds from the front.
di Resta, Kovalainen, Glock, di Grassi, Pagenaud, Senna, Albuquerque, van der Garde, Lotterer, Piquet Jr., Niemelä, Grosjean, Sutil, Turvey, Zuber, Danielsson, Buemi, Hülkenberg, Ricciardo, Yoshimoto, Matsuda, Jarvis, Valerio, Ebrahim.
Lap 2: Pagenaud and Senna move past di Grassi. Niemelä up to 9th, Zuber to 12th. di Resta's lead is 7.1 seconds. Valerio spins off.
Lap 3: Glock and Pagenaud move past Kovalainen. Niemelä into 7th, Zuber to 10th.
Lap 4: A bit of drizzle starts again but rather than making circuit wetter, it just slows drying period. Kovalainen's struggles continue and he is down to 7th, with Zuber just behind him.
Lap 5: Niemelä is now 4th while di Grassi overtakes Senna back. Zuber up to 7th and van der Garde up to 9th. By the way, di Resta is leading by 15.6 seconds, just showing how much better choice wets were at the start!
Lap 6: Niemelä up to 3rd and Zuber to 6th.
Lap 7: Niemelä pits.
Lap 8: Zuber pits.
Lap 9: Piquet Jr. pits.
Lap 10: Jarvis retires due to mechanical.
Lap 11: Pagenaud and di Grassi touch. Pagenaud has to pit and di Grassi loses a bit of time, but he too pits that lap. As did Hülkenberg who went off during the lap.
Lap 12: di Resta, Senna, Albuquerque, Turvey, Ricciardo and Yoshimoto pit. di Resta changes wets to inters (as did Zuber and Niemelä earlier) while rest takes a new set of intermediates.
Lap 13: van der Garde, Lotterer, Matsuda stop.
Lap 14: Danielsson stops.
Lap 15: Kovalainen, Sutil, Grosjean, Buemi stop.
Lap 16: Glock stops.
Lap 17: All drivers having pitted and all still having intermediates:
di Resta, Glock 22.9, Senna 28.8, Niemelä 30.9, Zuber 32.2, di Grassi 33.0, van der Garde 34.1, Kovalainen 35.1, Piquet Jr. 35.9, Albuquerque 37.6, Sutil 38.5, Pagenaud 39.6, Lotterer 39.9, Danielsson 40.1, Grosjean 50.0, Turvey 53.1, Ricciardo 53.7, Buemi 54.8, Matsuda 55.8, Hülkenberg 61.6, Yoshimoto 63.3, Ebrahim 74.6.
Lap 18: Sutil up to tenth.
Lap 19: Kovalainen overtakes van der Garde.
Lap 20: di Grassi overtakes Zuber.
Lap 21: Piquet Jr. overtakes van der Garde, now set for pole in race 2.
Lap 23: Kovalainen overtakes Zuber. Tight pack from 4th to 10th, anything can happen there.
Lap 26: Zuber goes off on the final lap! He loses points-scoring position and even worse, place on the front row. But nothing can stop di Resta from victory, his second in the series and first for over two years.

Lap 1: van der Garde took the start from the pole. Kovalainen edged Piquet Jr. while Glock claimed two spots. Hülkenberg stalled and Ebrahim hit him, taking both out of the race. Safety car was deployed until these cars were cleared. Before that information went through drivers, Sutil had a big moment at Eau Rouge and he needed a pit stop.
Lap 3: Safety car pulls in. van der Garde, Kovalainen, Piquet Jr., di Grassi, Glock, Senna, di Resta, Niemelä, Zuber, Albuquerque, Pagenaud, Lotterer, Buemi, Danielsson, Grosjean, Ricciardo, Turvey, Matsuda, Jarvis, Philippe, Valerio, Yoshimoto, Petrov, Sutil
Lap 4: van der Garde and Kovalainen touch, sending Dutchman into a quick spin. When he recovers, he races with di Resta and it gets very tight. Van der Garde has to slow and is hit by his team-mate Senna. It's double DNF for Rob Lomas Racing. Kovalainen escaped with less concequences, although it's Piquet Jr. now in the lead.
Lap 5: di Grassi goes off at the end of Kemmel straight. His car escapes big damage but di Grassi is out of the race.
Lap 6: Albuquerque claims last point-scoring spot from Zuber.
Lap 7: More overtaking with Albuquerque past Niemelä, Pagenaud past Zuber, Danielsson past Lotterer and Buemi to 9th.
Lap 9: Pagenaud takes 6th from Niemelä.
Lap 10: Zuber loses positions to Danielsson and Lotterer. Meanwhile, Glock overtakes Kovalainen. He is now 1.5 seconds behind Piquet Jr..
Lap 11: Lotterer overtakes Niemelä. Danielsson spun on the same lap so he's now seventh. Danielsson is down to 14th.
Lap 12: di Resta up to 3rd. He and Glock are both on their way to double podium at Spa.
Lap 16: Grosjean overtakes Buemi and enters top ten.
Lap 18: Not much happening towards the end. Piquet Jr. has to push all the way to the finish line and that gives him a fastest lap from the race along with victory. Glock and di Resta join him on the podium.

Re: 2007 Alternate GP2 - Hockenheim qualifying

Post by Bleu »

One team was able to get the grips with the Hockenheim circuit better than anyone else. Compared to their earlier results of the season it was surprising that it was Peak Motorsport Canada. Lucas di Grassi claimed pole and his team-mate Vitaly Petrov was third. They were split by Paul di Resta, who missed the pole and ever-important two points by 49 thousands of seconds.

Championship leader Timo Glock will line fifth and has a very good to clinch the title in the final feature race of the season. He needs just one point to put di Resta out of contention and four to do the same on Adrian Sutil, who will start eighth.

Hiroki Yoshimoto's car stopped on circuit during the first flying lap and he failed to set a time. He will start from the last position. Also missing important time was Sebastien Buemi, who had to settle for 21th position.
