The big one to me is Nakajima being quite a way ahead of Rosberg

As Sam Michael all but mentioned the other week, in his "audition" in Interlagos, Nakajima, qualifying aside, was rather quick...

I'm sure his mechanics agreed as he proceeded to kebab them. A little too quick. Wink

Dare I say, "Kamikaze" tactics?

I reckon [eastendpundit] the boy'll do good [/eastendpundit]. Possibly a successful Japanese driver in F1?

A v10 engined F1 car, lapping a track with a couple of slow tight corners and no traction control. I dont really see a big differance to what we have now, with the V8's it'll probably be even less. The only minor differances were the slightly slower imputs on the throttle and the upshifts out of the slow corners being rather quick to keep the rears from spinning between 1st and 3rd gear. No powerslides that I've heard some people talk of.

You were saying Craig..? Grin

To be fair, this is my christmas pressie and bday pressie rolled into one considering only 6 months ago he said he would never drive the car again. Now it's being arranged for him to also drive it at the next test in Jerez. I hold out hope that he'll take part at the silverstone test in June. That'll be three days I have the flu if he does.

The sooner Toyota realise they're pants and give up the better. Then they can supply engines and a "wee bit" of financial backing to Williams. Look what happened when Mercedes did that to McLaren...

I agree Charlie, unfortunatly, Toyota much like Honda, now see F1 as the place to put their futur road car designers and technicians through their paces. Niether are in F1 with the ultimate goal of winning a title, but they are in it to advance the future of the road car department. This is why I find it odd that Ross Brawn joined Honda. And why niether team will be competitve till they change the outlook they have in F1.
Williams team and management with Toyota financial backing and engine supply would have the team fighting for wins in a year or two.

Maybe Honda are changing their thinking on F1 by hiring Brawn. What's the betting that they suddenly become competitive and have Ferrari accusing them of stealing technical details? Grin

Joking aside, how does he go to Honda after 10 years and "switch off" anything to do with Ferrari. The way that the Ferrari has evolved over the past years, Honda could jump lots of grid places just by "using" Ferrari evolved ideas from a few years ago.
