I don't have a problem with Alex Yoong in a 'real' F1 car - he is just as
safe (if a bit slower) than the next F1 driver. However, putting Sato in a
Golf Cart is *way* too dangerous for my liking. <g>
The whole 'Sato incident' (as I am sure 2002 will go down in history as)
shows yet again how much of a big business F1 is nowadays. The Engine
manufacturer basically told EJ that Takuma was going to be their driver for
2002, and with the financial problems Jordan are in, I am sure all of his
trashed racecars (of which only the Austria one wasn't his fault - remember
Malasia?) are pretty pleasing to the manufacturers waiting to pounce into F1
(Honda may well be one of these - after Toyota jumped them). Maybe Sato is
being used by Honda to lower the price of the Jordan team for a takeover?

No kidding? -Always thought Sato looked uncomfortably close to what would
happen if someone put *me* into a (vintage) F1 car.

Seeing as Belgium is a bilingual country (Dutch/French) I'm usually able to
"see what you mean" when you use your particular brand of English, but this
time I'm at a loss to find meaning behind your words, Francois.
Care to expand a little?

>Great lesson of humility of the "quality" of those supposed young new
>generation of drivers.
But to put these two in these historical masterpieces on wet Monaco
streets, NUTS!
P.S. In hindsight, Yoong actually did a pretty darn OK drive, beating
out Martin Stratton easily and staying in one piece... until the
gearbox gave out anyway. Martin Stratton does not exactly hold back
anything, I have a video of the 2000 Thoroughbred race at
Nrburgring... D.S.
