Hmm mixed feeling about the race.

Regarding the first safety car peroid, the Indonesian marshalls were clearly quite in-experienced and that's fair enough, because the Sentul circuit doesn't actually host much racing and Indonesia hasn't exactly got an illustrious motorsports history. However, GP2 is a very high category series and the circuit conditions and marshalling just were not up to scratch. And the track was incredibly dusty and dirty - because of the lack of racing on the circuit.

The first safety car peroid lasted an agonising 12 laps, there wasn't even a major incident - the marshalls were just struggling to get the cars in the gravel off the track.

Because of the circuit surface breaking up, drivers were going off left, right and centre - only 11 cars out of 25 cars actually finished.

We did see some amazing racing though, Senna really showed his skills when he had that drive through penalty, over the race distance he was the fastest man. Senna then managed to get past the two drivers (forgot which ones they were) in front battling for pole in tomorrows race. Then Senna overtook them both - a stunning drive.

Ben Hanley must be mentioned, his first GP2 race and get's 4th place from 18th on the grid. A fantastic drive - He just kept his head down and kept the car on the track, which most failed to do.

Buemi - He didn't see the chequered had been waved - so kept on battling with Fillpi. :lolbis:

The last lap was electric, and chaos all through the race.

Roll on the sprint race.

Hard luck for Fillipi, after he drove well.
Fantastic debut for Ben Hanley, now on the podium!!

He' signed up with Campos, that's why he's in the Asia series with them.

I was a little confused: it totally looked like the chequered flag was waved twice

The man of the race was Senna for me. Although I didn't understand why they couldn't bring him out in the second safety car period after wasting the first one, he put in a blistering race pace and got away with 3 points (now with Filippi being excluded).

And Ben Hanely oh my Another man of the race
Not drawing much attention to himself but his result sure does. A cunning driver who could make life harder for the others.
