GP2 "on pole" image

I am interested in the year and place the graphic displayed after you qualify "on pole" in GP2 was taken. Also who are the drivers. It looks like DH on pole with MH second and either DC or AS fourth. Anyone know where and when this was taken? TIA mart -- Mart Rogers

To start with it must be 1994 - as this was the year on which GP2 was based - and can't be earlier as the Williams were in the (then new) Rothmans livery. It wouldn't be Senna in 4th - in all 3 of his races for Williams he qualified on pole. The front row was DH followed by MS only once, at the British GP. But on this occasion the Ferraris occupied the 3rd row and Coulthard was 7th. I haven't looked at that picture closely for a while - is it possible that the poleman is Senna? If so, the front row was Senna-Schumacher for the first 3 races. In Brazil Hill was 4th, and pole was on the right. In the Pacific GP Hill was 3rd, pole was on the left. In San Marino Hill was 4th and pole was on the left. So I think the picture is from either Brazil or San Marino, depending on which side is pole; if the poleman is Damon rather than Senna then it's possible the photo was touched up so as not to show Senna who was not included in GP2.

Pole is on the right (as you sit in the cars) and the car there is Williams number 0 (with someone 'apparently' wearing Hills helmet - but all this could have been touched up I suppose). Second place appears to be Mclaren No 7 - which is what I suspected to be Hakinnen. I wonder if this picture has been totally doctored ? -- Mart Rogers

Oops... I misread "MH" as "MS". The only time MH started on the front row was at Monaco, alongside Schumacher. So either the pic is doctored, or it's a picture of the 2nd row of the grid or something. regards -- Ian Hill, Cambridge, UK Email: [email hidden] http://ianhill.tripod.com Please visit www.thehungersite.com today!
