Title: Is consistency the key?

Autosport.com - Di Grassi backs low key approach

Lucas di Grassi has said that he is happy to let other drivers grab the headlines while he focuses on being consistent enough to win the GP2 title.

The Brazilian has not won a race yet this season, which has seen nine different winners in 13 rounds, but he is only one point behind championship leader Timo Glock.

Di Grassi and Glock are a long way clear of the rest of the field in the standings, but Glock has failed to score points four times this season, while di Grassi has scored in all but one race.


Autosport.com - Carroll wants more consistency

Adam Carroll has admitted that he and the FMS International team need to improve their consistency in the remaining races of this season.

The Ulsterman took his second win of the season on Saturday at the Hungaroring, and he then came through from eighth on the grid to finish second in race two.

Carroll was also strong at Silverstone, but between his two strong weekend's he struggled at the Nurburgring.

"We've won two races now, and we need to find the consistency to run at the front for the rest of the year," said the 24-year-old.

"It's been brilliant this weekend. Silverstone was fantastic and the car was good, but we struggled at the Nurburgring."


So is consistency the key in GP2?

Consistancy is always the key to a championship in any series.

Consistency always seems to be the key in any race series these days, speedworx is right there.


However other keys in GP2 in my opinion are firstly the reliability of the cars, I have read in autosport that reliability has been a big issue this year so that hasn't helped some drivers.

The other thing also is concentration and decision-making, some of the drivers are a bit over ambitious and this apparent in alot of junior formulas, drivers make moves which can't be mad or block moves which can be blocked resulting in losing alot of points.

Obviously some young drivers are desperate to impress to move up the ranks so they are overkeen to do well and overdo it.

So being sensible and knowing when a move can or cannot be made is vital, for instance what happened on the front row at Magny-Cours was ridiculous.
