GP2 Car Changes in 2006

Chassis

The specification for the 2006 GP2 was developed by Dallara Automobili . The new car has a biplane rear wing , while the triplane rear wing in 2005 was used only during the race in Monaco . The front upper and lower flaps have been redone, now they are connected to the front and rear suspension.

Engine

The four-liter V8 engine with internal and software modifications allowed to achieve greater performance and lower fuel consumption.

Gearbox

The 2006 gearbox was developed by GearTek , which had eight speeds and shifted to a different gear faster.

Tires

The tires Bridgestone supplied in the 2006 season were slicks, unlike the pseudo slicks used in the 2005 season. Bridgestone used the types soft , medium , and hard ; for each stage, Bridgestone was selected separately. Rain trains were used the same as in 2005.

Other

Brembo exclusively for the GP2 introduced new brakes.

The car also includes a new cooling system, a new radiator, a radiator pipe, etc.

Changes to sports regulations

The only change in the rules of the 2006 season was the rewarding with one point for a fast lap in the race instead of two, as it was in 2005. Racers starting from the pit lane and showing the fastest lap are not taken into account.

Season Overview

Nelsinho Piquet began the season with a high note, winning the first race in Valencia, beating two newcomers Lewis Hamilton and Adrian Valles . None of them could earn a point for the fastest lap. In Sunday's sprint, Valles was involved in a clash with Adam Carroll , who rolled over several times. The race was won by Michael AmmermΓΌller who had a promising start to the season, but in the last six stages he could not earn points.

Gianmaria Bruni and Ernesto Viso shared the victory in Imola, where Hamilton could not win after the black flag in the main race, and in the sprint he started from the back rows and did not earn points. He regained his form well by winning both victories at the Nurburgring, where Piquet had a terrible weekend. He earned the pole position, but had an accident in the main race. He also could not score points in the sprint.

Hamilton was on his way to the next victory in the main race in Barcelona, ​​but on the last lap of the race his partner Alexander Prema crashed into him. The Frenchman won, and Hamilton came second. Viso won his second victory of the season in Sunday's sprint. Then Hamilton won three races in a row, in the only race in Monaco, the French Nicolas Lapierre and Olivier Pla were injured and missed several races. At a home race at Silverstone, Hamilton won the main race, and then in the sprint, where he immediately overtook Clivio Piccione and Piquet.

At the beginning of the season there were several notable changes. Giorgio Pantano returned to the series after skipping several stages, and Timo Glock moved from BCN to iSport between the stage in Monaco and the UK, and the Russian pilot Vitaly Petrov also appeared for the first time in the series. Both were serious rivals in the fight for victory in the rest of the season and they shared victories in Magny-Cours. Glock also won the Sunday sprint in Hockenheim after overtaking Jose Maria Lopez in the final lap.

From that moment, Hamilton had a solid 26-point lead from Pique, but the Brazilian returned to the fight, having spent an ideal weekend in Hungary, he earned a pole, two wins and two fast laps. Hamilton turned around in qualification and in the main race he started from the back rows of the starting field. He could not score points, but earned second place in the rain sprint.

Pique continued to show his form in Turkey, where he won the main race starting from the pole. Hamilton was second, as in the sprint, Hamilton quickly recovered from an early U-turn and came second, while Piquet came fifth. Andreas Zuber started from the front row and won the race.

Hamilton's lead was 10 points before the final stage at Monza. Piquet reduced lead to 8 by taking the pole. Pantano went around them in the main race and established the fastest lap. Pique finished second, Hamilton third, so it seemed that the fate of the title would be decided in the last race. However, Pantano ignored the yellow flags in his fastest lap and did not count his time, the point eventually passed to Hamilton and decided the fate of the title. Pantano started fantastically and from eighth place to first, before entering the first corner and subsequently won the race. Hamilton finished after him, eventually ahead of Pique by 12 points.
