Best performance: Luciano
Bacheta
In my season preview I predicted that Luciano Bacheta would
be champion this season. At Silverstone
he did me proud, winning both races in style.
While he was slow off the grid in race 1, he managed to pull of some
brilliant overtaking manoeuvres to take the win. In race 2 he was able to make a better start,
passing Alex Fontana for 2nd.
He then proceeded to make sure that Mihai Marinescu was unable to get
away at the front, before making his move to take the lead on the penultimate
lap. With two race wins from two,
Bacheta heads the championship going in to round 2 in Portugal.
Worst performance:
Markus Pommer
It is harsh for me to name Markus Pommer as the worst
performer, but this is based on how drivers performed compared to
expectations. Pommer had been one of the
front runners in testing, including at free practice, but was unable to pull
out the performance expected of him. In
qualifying a driver error led to him qualifying last, and while he was able to
battle up to 8th place for a points finish, it just acted to demonstrate
how much better he could have done had he qualified higher up the grid. For race 2 he only qualified 10th,
again down on what he is capable of, and he only improved to finish 7th. If he is to show championship-winning form he
is going to need to improve at Portimão.
Race rating:
10/10
Lots of good racing for all positions, and both races
featured drivers having to pass to win.
With the improvements made to the JPH1B the Formula Two car is a lot
faster than it was last year, and the overboost facility acted to create some
exciting moments.
