Hungary 2007: Carroll singing.

Saturday, 4th August 2007

British driver wins for second time as safety car and pit work play his way.

Adam Carroll claimed his second GP2 Series victory of the season with a slightly fortuitous performance at the Hungaroring, while the title race was once again thrown open by a disappointing result for Timo Glock.

The German's race started to go awry at the first corner. Having managed to avoid the magnetic attraction of iSport team-mate Andi Zuber, Glock appeared too cautious under braking for turn one, allowing nearest title rival Lucas di Grassi to whip around the outside and seize the lead. Worse was to befall Zuber, who shared row one with his iSport colleague, the UAE-based Austrian too busy concentrating on keeping Giorgio Pantano behind and eventually allowing both the Italian and Pastor Maldonado through.

Carroll was next in line behind Zuber as the opening lap unfolded, but was forced to bide his time as the pace picked up, leaving him in the sights of Kazuki Nakajima, with Nicolas Lapierre, Andy Soucek, Borja Garcia and Vitaly Petrov completing the top ten. Already at the back was ART stand-in Sebastien Buemi, who stalled at the first attempt at a start, and Mike Conway, who spun his Super Nova car at turn two.

Glock, meanwhile, held the gap to di Grassi at around half a second, but was among the earliest stoppers for tyres - beaten only, among the frontrunners, by Nakajima. While the DAMS crew turned the Japanese driver around in good order, Glock was not so lucky, the iSport crew fumbling with his right rear wheel nut and dropping him well down the order by the time he was able to rejoin.

That left di Grassi slightly more comfortable out front, but it wasn't for long as the charging Pantano caught and dispatched the leader in short order. Zuber was too far back to take advantage of the change of position, having been delayed - and, judging by his reaction, possibly even brake-tested - by Maldonado before finally gaining third place on lap six.
