If he thinks he's getting another drive in F1 then he's mad.

Who deserve the other seats then?

Anyone can be fast, Takagi was fast, Sato was fast but all 3 were kamikaze drivers

I seem to recall Frank was a whole lot more regretful when Mark Webber walked out the door. There was even an apology for not providing Mark with a more competitive car if memory serves me. One of the Australians in here will no doubt be able to point directly to the 2006 article in question.

When Nico left, Frank just counted the $$$ he would be saving with Barrichello, who'll likely do a similar job for a third of the money.

If that's your way of praising Rosberg...



bordering on the fanboy tag mate....;)
I'm beginning to think you're Lamag's second profile.

Kazuki should leave F1.

His Karma is not in F1, it's in Plastic Surgery.

The way he likes to chop noses...

Kazuki won F-Nippon race today! his second race in the series.

I love how those cars look. F1, take note.

exactly. Many people have yet to realise this,but they will in time

Whoa a Formula Nippon victory Who's he racing against anyway?

This lot

Most of them are just moonlighting Super GT drivers who fancy an extra weekend of racing now and then... Formula Nippon ain't what it used to be...

Don't take any notice of Trolls hidden behind their PC's thinking thye don't have to account for their insults, I remember when Williams were raving about Nakajima. Its just there's so many drivers out there and the teams tend to go through a large turnover for reasons of finance and looking for the next senna.

Exactly. Sad but true.

But I have to make it clear that Nakajma aint a bad driver in the first place, far from it. In terms of track record and performance level in junior series, he's no worse than drivers like Buemi for example. His suckness in F1 is extremely overrated in the minds of most F1 fans.

Today, he won from 13th grid, that's quite something.

I always thought he was on Nico's pace in practice and qualy, but in the races he just couldn't be consistent. The only way to fix that is seat time.

But I think a lot of people will reevaluate his performances now considering Rosbergs performance against Michael, and the fact that Kaz was the only pay driver at the time, and now we have pay drivers who are likely not as talented.

He wasn't a 'true' pay driver in that he was just part of Toyota's 'stable'.

Kaz was ok, but never really had a superb race, just ok...

He is doing both SuperGT and Nippon now, and he's doing well in both, which is good for him because there certainly aren't many bad drivers in GT500...

Its true that Kaz had alot of bad press after not scoring any points in '09 where as nico scored plenty, Kaz was a bit unlucky in that he was always close to the points but never quite good enough to get in them.

Yeah right, fair evaluation. His main problem was he couldnt hold on with good pace in the race. And during 09, it looked apparent that his learning curve peaked, which was shame.

There's no doubt that his exit from F1 was justice. Just that I find it hard to stand it when I see quite a few people perceive him as an epitome of suckness or sth, and how people of this type have to ridicule him. Being Japanese and with the support of manufacturer/engine, he's a convenient target.

I think we need to reevaluate this statement. IMO they're not even in the same league.

Too true, the fact that Kamui (although it was a rookie error) put the kibosh on Kazuki in his first race, and then went on to do what he has done in a car not disimilar to the 2009 Williams in terms of performance... well there's night and day between them...

Which is why we're looking at Nakajima in F Nippon and SuperGT, and we're debating whether Kobayashi deserves a Ferrari seat in the near future...

Congratulations for the win, Kazuki

One day, everybody will wake up and smell the beans, kamui is a very average driver in terms of out right speed and even his "great" overtaking ability is simply him being reckless, it won't be long before he causes a "coming together" or two.

Il agree with FNippon, two races hes come from the back and twice hes made the top 5. As for Super GT. Hmmmm.... Hes doing better than his dads ailing team I suppose. Hes good, but not great, yet.

Why do you think that? Is there a reason to roll your eyes other than to make someone feel like an idiot?

I never intended to make anyone feel like a idiot, its just alot of people think that Kamui is potentially a future WDC and as far as i can make out it his based on a few overtakes from a couple of races when he had much fresher tyres on, personally i don't think he is anything special simply because he doesn't have the raw speed, if my memory is right he drew 7-7 with De La Rosa in qualy and its hard to judge how up to speed Heidfeld was in the last couple of races, and now that Perez has started to get into the groove he has been the quicker, in the last 3 qualy sessions they have both competed in Sergio as comfortably beaten him, by .250 in China, .350 in Spain and .500 in Monaco, to me, against a rookie (albeit a talented one) thats less than impressive.

Sorry if i came across as though i was trolling, wasn't my intention.

In China the red flag stopped him improving because of traffic, while Perez I think did have clear track and did improve. In Turkey his car failed. In Spain he had traffic. Ok, in Monaco he was just slow, but everyone has race weekends like that. Barrichello had one also in Monaco, for example. Also some of his qualifying last year and this was excellent.

That's why he finished in the points every single race this year? BY being reckless?
