Glock to miss Sepang?

Great, if Glock is out we will have another rookie Kamikazee driver who is more than likely to crash into Webber.

nick, timo is no rookie. check the stats! further he is not a kamikaze driver. ok, he ran wide as did many others. it was an uneven surface that forced him into the air. there should not have been such a bump in a run-off area. blame the melbourne organisers and not timo. timo did an excellent job with an uncompetitive car. give credit where it is due

rich ard,you appear to have missed the point of this comment completely!! Perhaps ou need to concentrate a little more and try actually reading the story first!

Richard

you're missing the point. Look who will be replacing Glock

who cares its got 4 wheels!! bring on GPs and SBK again!!

dave and simon. sorry if i "missed the point". it is just nicks comment implied that TIMO was a rookie driver and would be replaced by another rookie driver.

when was the last time there were 3 japanese drivers on the grid?? surely u'd hav to go bac a bit

Hazard a guess at 1976 Japanese GP :P

Just researched it, last time 3 or more Japanese drivers entered a race was the Japanese GP in 1976, where 4 drivers took place. Since then there have been sporadic entries, with Ide (2006) Yammamoto (2006 - 07) and Nakano (1998) racing in the past 10 years.

Rich, you have missed the point of what I was saying but I can see how given the way I wrote it. What I was implying is that Timo will be replaced by another rookie(Kobayashi), more referring to another rookie like Nakajima. I'm well aware of Timo's exploits and previous (even if limited) experience within F1. I'm sure they are all good drivers in their own right otherwise they wouldn't be in F1.
Oh well, it does make for interesting racing all the same.

Timo will not be missing the race, at least according to Toyota. The Toyota team has said he is all-clear to race this weekend.

nick, point taken. as you can see from above, i accepted that i read you wrong.i apologise for this and agree with the point that you were making. i hope that glock will prove to be steady and reliable driver

Last time there were 3 Japanese drivers on the grid? Try Brazil last year - Sato, Yamamoto and Nakajima, making his Williams debut ;)

Mark - when I wrote that I thought theres probably some really recent example that I'd completely missed... good job mate

I assume that this Kobayashi is not the hot dog eating champ.
