Yamamoto set for Hockenheim debut

Hmm another IDE ?

Magny Cours will 'definitely' be Franck Montagny's last grand prix for now with Super Aguri.

The French racer confirmed that the 'power of believing' had something to do with delaying Sakon Yamamoto's expected debut, but other sources report that Bernie Ecclestone was also persuasively keen to ensure a home-grown hero for the French race.

Yamamoto, to re-complete an all-Japanese line-up, is sure to appear at Hockenheim, with Montagny saying: "I know this will be my last race.
"

"From Hockenheim onwards I will certainly be the third driver."

you sure have a lot of free time eg, but an all-Japanese team in F1 means bottom of the ladder feeder. The drivers just don't cut it.

Yes I think Franck is doing a good job, I also dont get SA for trying to make an ALL Japanese team. Yamamoto is good, i have seen him drive but i dont know if he can cut it for F1....

Haha Ultraseven, i figured someone has to update the Motorsport section of F1. No one here e ver discusses the issues going on, so i figured i bring it up from here on !
