OK, so I don’t know how to use the quote thingy. Recent new comers who’ve made a lot of enemies by passing people seem to have done pretty well is what I’m getting at.

Surely you don’t think Kobayashi’s as good as Hamilton?

Even without Toyota, Kobayashi should get a drive in 2010, he has shown he has more skill then any of the rookies that have entered this year. Alsono was nice, very nice, when saying Grosjean could do what Koby did if he was not in a POS (the Renault), but it’s BS, GrosSpinner.

We can not be sure about any driver winning a championship when no other countryman has won a grand prix, lets run through:-
S.Nakajima – 0 wins
A.Suzuki – 0 wins
S.Nakano – 0 wins
U.Katayama – 0 wins
T.Sato – 0 wins
S.Yamamoto – 0 wins
K.Nakajima – 0 wins
K.Kobayashi – 0 wins but good chance of one

well thats the end of that. Toyota pulling out of F1. Not a suprise and good riddance really. Points per dollar they must be right up there with the Pacific & Lola

Apparantly Kobyashi has an even better mate. Goes by the name of Kaiser Sosay

Actually looking at 1% is very disadvantageous for people on a 1 stop strategy.

If you look at the charts above (comparing Trulli and Kobayashi) then you see Kobayashi’s laptimes fluctuate slightly more than Trulli’s, but otherwise his times pretty closely follow the “fuel adjustment” table.

Much better than that “1%” figure indicates.
