Crash.net preview - Bahrain.

Thursday, 29th September 2005

After 21 races in nine countries, the GP2 series touches down in Bahrain - its first non-European destination - this week with two combatants still locked in battle for the inaugural drivers' title.

Olivier Pla and Nicolas Lapierre round out the top twelve in points, both Frenchmen hoping to return to the points after difficult outings in Belgium, and could come under pressure from the resurgent Borja Garcia and Ernesto Viso, both of whom have managed to turn their luck around in recent weeks. Both featured on the race two podium at Spa, with Viso adding a slightly fortuitous third place to the stunning second he took in race one. His confidence climbing, the Venezuelan could be a man to watch this weekend.

In truth, however, all eyes will be on just two men, as Rosberg and Kovalainen go head-to-head in a fitting climax to the inaugural GP2 campaign. Who remembers F3000 now?
