What is the difference between a Japanese driver and a driver from another country? I do not understand this discussion at all. You are saying that "because there have been no really good Japanese F1 driver, Japanese drivers are bad"?
The Japanese have been somewhat over-represented in F1, though, owing to the presence of now-two auto manufacturers on the grid. Nakajima and Sato were clearly not as good as the 1987 Lotus and 2004 BAR respectively, and yet their presence prevented more capable drivers from establishing themselves in F1. But there have been far, far worse paydrivers in F1 than Nakajima Snr and Sato, so IMO it's a relatively small issue. And Kazuki Nakajima will prove his talent yet.;)

What about drivers from Uruguay? Surely they should not be in F1?
Gonzalo Rodriguez was pretty quick.
