SaloolaS said on 30th December 2009, 17:33
Yes. And they said that if he gets enough sponsors in time he will get a drive.
Robert said on 24th January 2010, 16:53

I really think, they’d start to put again that thirteen number after three years of bad luck in FOM…

Has anyone actually noticed that there is supposedly 25 drivers, but have missed out the number 13?
Enigma said on 8th June 2010, 19:59
Yeah, that’s been happening for a very long time. It’s been many years since a driver had number 13. It’s about superstitions.

In the great design of things you actually secure an A just for effort. Where you confused me personally ended up being in your specifics. As people say, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be more true here. Having said that, allow me inform you what exactly did give good results. The article (parts of it) is actually incredibly persuasive and this is most likely the reason why I am taking the effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, while I can certainly notice the jumps in reason you make, I am not really confident of exactly how you appear to connect your ideas which make the actual final result. For right now I will subscribe to your issue however hope in the foreseeable future you actually link the dots much better.
