As we hit the mid-season point, the competitors of the GP2 series are heading to Hockenheim this next weekend for the German Grand Prix.
Nico Robserg, first GP2 driver to ever graduate Formula 1, gave his opinion about the 2008 season of this championship, so far. It represented pretty well how the race could go this weekend, in Germany.
"It's not clear this year who the favourite for the title is but Giorgio Pantano has to be up there, he's a very talented driver and used to be my hero when I was racing go-karts. I remember having a poster of him on my wall which my dad bought for me", said Rosberg.
"This is now his fourth season in GP2 and I think that after more than 100 GP2 starts it should be his time to win it", he added.
"His main competition will probably be from Bruno Senna and Romain Grosjean, but there are a lot of quick drivers this year."
"Pastor Maldonado and Andreas Zuber, are very fast if a little inconsistent. Sébastien Buemi and Luca Filippi have the pace to win races but Senna and Grosjean have stood out."
