I doubt he's stupid enough to put his money into the headache of running an F1 operation. And driver's turned owners haven't especially been successful in the recent past. A small investment to symbolize his association with the team would probably bring a crap ton of sponsorship money though.

Kimi laughing? Must be a body double.

Brawn is in talks w/Ferrari to get Ferrari engines into the 'honda' cars. He said there is no rush to find a buyer since it will take 6 weeks to reconfigure all the cars for a different engine. He then said that '09 would be another interim year... well WTF was '08?? and how was it that just a few weeks ago, Honda was saying that the '09 car was going to be a much more competitive car.

bourdais is a good driver the CAR SUCKS get it right.

MSchu

I wonder what Vettel thinks

tony413

who had more seat time in the **** box car ????

Targa250R

Who has been driving/racing for 6 more years and won 4 Champ Car championships but got absolutely spanked by a rookie?

Bourdais is like the Michael Andretti of F1, except Michael Andretti was already the Michael Andretti of F1. Maybe he's more like the Alex Zanardi . . . nevermind.

tony413

hmmm LH owned the **** out of alonso, but yet alonso was a double world champ hmmm thats odd, according to you that should not be happening but it did.

bourdais is the ROOKIE in f1 NOT vettel.
vettel has more experience in f1 and especially at driving the STR. lets put vettel in a champ car and see good he does.

vinuneuro

Hard to fault them. Their budget has been severely cut, and will remain that way until a deal is fixed. That, and they've had hardly any testing.

Targa250R

Lewis Hamilton is a world champion as well and did not "own the **** out of" Alonso but rather tied him in WDC points, wins, and podiums while they drove the same car. Hamilton was only placed higher in the standings for '07 by virtue of having more 2nd place finishes.

That's hardly comparable to Vettel scoring 35 points to Bourdais' 4.

I think Bourdais is a good driver and needs another season before people can really say how good or bad he really is. I really am not impressed with Sato but for some reason people think he's really spectacular. I believe that Bourdais will come into his own this next season if given another shot.

tony413

agreed it was funny though to watch sato drive in traffic and pick ppl off

Targa250R

Bourdais finishes consistently out of the points. Sato crashes into people. Which is more entertaining to have around?

This is my new new ***** eff'ing signature.. LOL, awesome

I don't personally think SB is a bad driver... I just think there are BETTER drivers despite his American championships

DaveSi677

That was a funny video of Kimi laughing lol

Honda Bull

Well... Sato's fast. Sort of. lol And he makes things happen, good or bad. And that allows for entertainment compared to someone like Kimi who just lets people pass him nowadays. :p

Ponyboy

Agreed. Clearly he's a talented driver. Maybe not top F1 material but still pretty good. I'd take driving lessons from him.

I don't get it

I'll take "CART champions who sucked in F1" for $200, Alex.

Answer: Alex, not the gameshow host.
