He looks a really good prospect.

Not sure Williams should of kept Pastor though over Senna. Yes he is quick, but he is always being punished or doing mistakes in the race.

There's a really good reason they kept him. Money.

Very true.

Looks like we are losing Kobayashi to from F1 despite him and his fans raising over £500,000 to help pay for a seat.

Shame that a lot of it comes down to the money now.

Win in Spain must help too...

Yep he did win in Spain, but then scored 0 points at all in the following 9 races, which is very poor.

I personally think Senna is a better driver. Much more consistent and a hell of a lot better temperament. Money talks though

As a raw talent he's better than Senna in my opinion, when he sorts out his mistakes which have cost lots of other drivers points this season... and why he is probably the most hated driver on the grid...

I saw it and the "Excuse" after the race was that it was the Yellow & Orange "Slippery" flag and not a full yellow...


I Didn't believe it mind...
