Re: Sato in Indycar
Looking only at the race results, Takuma seems just slightly better than Milka Duno as he hardly ever finishes. However, he qualify strongly (especially on road courses) and run in the top until something like yesterday happen.... He will get a strong finish sooner or later, and i think his second y...

Re: The best F1 driver(s) that Grand Prix racing has produced...
In case someone is in Tokyo during a GP weekend i wholeheartedly recomend you to visit the F1 Pit Stop Cafe in Roppongi. They show the races live, provide food and pre-race entertainment, F1 Ultra-quiz and best of all, our loved japanese F1 Rejects as guest commentators. Last year Yuji Ide came seve...

Re: Sato in Indycar
Takuma on ovals is an emotional roller coaster He qualify good and race right at the top for 100-150 laps (P5 at Kansas and P3 yesterday at Iowa)... And then throws the Lotus into the wall. He is nowhere close to being the ROTY, but he obviously has potential and hopefully KV will keep him for at le...

Re: Sato in Indycar
Great debut oval race from Takuma and the feeling when he crashed was exact the one you got after he clashed with Barrichello at Nurnburgring in 2004. Taku could have got a respectable top 10 by taking it easy and just finishing the race, instead he gives it all and loses everything. A true racer, a...

Re: Is StefanGP better option than Campos of USF1
I want as many cars as possible on the grid, so i am very positive of the changes for this season. Campos might be lacking money and be the minardi of this decade. Stefan obviously has support from Toyota, but can that really compensate the total lack of team structure?

Re: Random F1 spottings
Yuji Ide sometimes works as a guest commentator at the F1 restuarant "Pit stop cafe" in central Tokyo. During last year I won the "bet the podium"-quiz twice and had a small talk with him. He is quite good as a commentator , but seems to be embarrased when he is asked about his o...

Re: Schumacher wants to swap numbers
In Japanese and Chinese, one way of saying the number 4 is the same as the word for death and it's considered very unlucky. If you go to Hong Kong, China or Japan and stay in a hotel you might find that there is no floor 4 (and sometimes no floor 44 or 14, 24, etc....). When Ukyou Katayama raced fo...

Re: de la Rosa to Sauber?
Takuma Sato could have enough sponsorship, even with the Japanese economy suffering like anyone else's, but that opens the question of would Sauber go for two Japanese drivers? This. If Peter Sauber hires Sato I will personally fly over to Switzerland and give him a big fat kiss. I will follow you!

Re: F1 Songbook
I knew that was going to start a controversy...
To my defense, I wrote this in 2004 and at that moment the sacredness of our much respected gentleman was non-existent. Also, I love all backmarkers so anyone can replace "Hungarian" with any preferable nationality.

Re: Infinite Improbability Drive of the Season - 2009
1. Force India. I really did not see the results in Belgium and Monza coming. 2. Kobayashi I lost my confidence in him during this GP2 season, so the pleasant surprise was even greater when he debuted. The Brawn-story is incredible, but once we saw the testing pace, the actual results was not too su...
