D'Ambrosio spent most of his GP2 career with Kobayashi as his teammate - he was somewhat surprisingly often quicker and certainly crashed less than Kobayashi, but he was off his pace when it counted for the majority of the winter series.

I don't think there's any great shame in being outperformed by Grosjean last year as he is clearly a fantastic GP2 driver, but his career was really ruined by throwing him into F1 with very little practice and no support instead of properly contesting the 2009 GP2 title.

I think that I'd probably put him on par with di Grassi, possibly with di Grassi being slightly the better. It's a bit of a shame, but there have been worse decisions.
