Well I guess they could do a lot worse. He's never really been that consistent, but I've seen this man do some incredible things with a race car. He can definitely be brilliant when he really wants it.

Just a thought: if I remember it correctly BMW turned to Sauber because they originally wanted to buy Williams and turn it into a factory team but Frank refused. While his team has certainly slipped back without the factory support, I'd say he did the right thing considering what looks set to happen to Sauber. If the rumours about Toyota and Renault are indeed true it may turn out the manufacturers' presence in F1 did waaay more damage than good.

What do you mean, no point? He's a racer FFS! If he thinks more about his rep & image than wanting to drive really fast cars really fast, then he's not a racer anymore. Maybe, just maybe, this has to do with all the failed attempts at filling seats mid-season so far? If Seb would fail miserably too then the FIA would suffer even more criticism for the testing ban... Just a thought. They don't want trouble. Letting guys like Badoer, Alguersuari and Grosjean risk their carreers is fine, noone cares about them, but Loeb might cause more reactions. God I hate conspiracy theories, what am I doing? :P

I actually think he did a great job in taking his aggressive driving right to the limit. Some of his lines in the battle with Button were sort of questionable, but I wouldn't say they were illegal. And the tracks marshals apparently agree. The incident with Kaz I think was a racing incident. Kaz could have had bigger margins and was a bit over-ambition IMHO. Remember, you're allowed to change your line once and that is exactly what Kobayashi did. If you compare his debut to the other replacement rookies, Grosjean and Alguersuari, it's particularly impressive. Certainly looks like this kid could make an impact if he gets a proper drive next season!

A couple years of epic battles between Schumi and Senna would have been pretty good for F1 too I imagine.

Personally I think this series was a pretty silly idea to begin with. Good riddance.

I think he's right. It's especially bad on this track because of the main "straight" that isn't really straight. Cars accelerate hard while turning, and reach very high speeds. That makes Interlagos extra dangerous in the wet. If it wasn't Liuzzi it would be someone else a little bit later.

For a Malaysian F1 project it makes perfect sense to get Yoong on board. He's been there before, knows people, knows the industry etc. But clearly not as a driver, although like someone said he did pretty good in A1. Seems to be a very nice guy too, so I certainly wish him all the best. As for the name Lotus, I prefer to see them as named after a flower rather than after a classic car manufacturer and former racing team... :P

Ok, I guess I was wrong. Maybe the red flag was a correct decision. But I still think waving yellows would have worked, it was only seconds left of the session anyway. Think Schumi @ Monaco, for instance. The thing about Q laps is that the second you see the yellow you know your lap is completely ruined, so you can really slow down, whereas in a race you'd try to maintain gaps & position.
