Only if you class a dose of the flu and a puncture as 'reliability issues' !

He'd also lost several gears.

very valid points....Race 2 was dogged my gearbox problems and although he was much quicker than Fauzy, he kept missing gears which had him drop back before he could make a move.....I rate him highly as i've pointed out and his race craft is HIGHLY credible.....Hope he recovers from the flu and has a mega weekend in Indo....

Well there's no reason why they won't be right at the front next time out then!

You say that, but looking at performances last year, Senna outperformed Zaugg (who is not exactly slow) quite comfortably. Meanwhile, Chandhok was beaten by (admittedly more experienced) teammate Garcia.

I personally think a lot of the hype around Chandhok is centered on his nationality and a couple of good performances last year. I don't think he'll hold a candle to Senna this year.

Mate....hype around Chandhok?? i think the hype is around Senna....There isnt really hype around chandhok....he's known to be one of the nicest guys in the paddock and IS genuinely quick and consistent.....he was robbed of a win at Turkey last year by Nakajima and scored points in every race after Budapest last year....dont think its wise to make comparisons but Senna and him get along well and should gel with the team quite nicely to make for some good results....I guess only time will tell !!

There's hype around both of them :P Poor Grosjean is only starting to get in on the action.

Either way, I think Senna will beat Chandhok comfortably.

I guess we need to be a bit careful about reading too much into relative performances last weekend as they probably won't be like that every round.

Pretty sure Grosjean's given them all a real fright though.....

If you look into performance of second half of GP2 2007, you can see that Chandhok outperformed Garcia. Thats not bad at all. Remeber his entry was announced late and missed a lot of pre-season tests in 2007. Yet he delivered in the second half of the season.

Have to agree that both Senna and Chandhok has to raise their game to match Grosjean.

On Senna/Chandhok, it should be close between the two of them, but I think Senna will come out on top out of the two as Chandhok can get a bit ragged sometimes which I imagine will cost him a result or two which could hurt come the end of the season.
