Wet GP2 race

[phil1993]

GP2 starting - its raining.

[swca92]

Damn if its as wet a this in the F1 race it will be chaos

[phil1993]

standing water everywhere - lots of spray. 2 drivers (GP2) not starting as they spun off on their way to the grid - this could be good. Not raining, but very windy and a wet track

[swca92]

cars off everywhere

[phil1993]

absolute chaos for the GP2 start, stalls, lots of spinners and an amazing start by Senna. At least 5 spinners and 3 retirements

[phil1993]

Petrov Spins. Ho-Pin Tung off. Senna leads. Grosjean lost front wing. Fillippi spun. Mastonado stalled. Buemi and Herck spun on the way to the grid. Zuber spun. Chandhok spun. Only on Lap 3!

[swca92]

Things settled down a bit now.Conway's 4th from 14th and fastest on track

[phil1993]

Maldonado overtakes under yellows

[phil1993]

Senna flying. Soucek crashes out after spinning on the exit of Stowe - very heavy rain at Silverstone now

[phil1993]

Senna Wins the race. Chaos on the last lap after Valles spins exiting bridge, collects Kobayashi who then gets punted backwards into the wall. Maldonado then slams into Valles and tries to get past him and spins. Debris everywhere!

Porsche Supercup racing behind the SC at this very moment, with a very wet track, and still raining... Going to be a wet race then today ;)
