His first two sentences reminded me of Mika Hakkinen…

I think so, I guess the closest would have been 2005-2006, when Rosberg and Speed were promoted to race seats and Kovalainen to a testing role.

That will make it 3 GP2 drivers from a single year (if Grosjean is retained next year, that’d be his first full year). Is this a record high?

Yeah, I’m expecting Hulkenberg to be promoted to Formula One next season. Petrov, too.

Haven’t seen any GP2 races but i saw him win at the Tuapo A1Gp, he was very impressive. Nice comment to Autosport, Any thoughts to which F1 team he would be most likely to go to?

I’m glad for him and I hope we will see him in F1 next year, he has much to learn but I think he can take that challenge.

I really hope to see him in F1. He reminds me more of Schumacher than Vettel. Of Michael Schumacher at least.

The commentator was making a big deal on how early in the season Hulkenberg won, but seriously when the No2 stopped racing it’s not really that surprising is it?

Very impressive title win for Nico- I think he’s the most prolific talent to come through the junior ranks since Hamilton. No doubt he’ll be in an F1

His Q&A on Autosport is interesting; loved this bit:

Q. So how does it feel to be GP2 champion?

NH: Bloody s**t. I am so sad right now… No, it feels like before. Since Nurburgring, Valencia, we have had a lot of good weekends, so you grow into this and then you kind of expect it. Our expectation was to win and finally we did it, so we’re very happy about that. But expectations were high, as well.

His is an impressive record, would be great if he can get an F1 seat for next year in a good car.
