jaime alguersuari is f1 inexperienced but he is the current british f3 champion and a damn good racer.... i think its rich that some drivers, massa included, said earlier today that he will be a danger to others... does felipe not remember his first few seasons in f1, he was a mobile chicane! its the structure of f1 that has led to this, with the testing ban and the fact that f1 rookies get 4 days acclimatisiation sessions, which just turn out to be teams tresting developments which negates the sole reason for rookie orienteering, new young drivers just simply dont get the track time anymore and its only gonna get worse cuz f1 cars will notbe able to run in between the end of the season and the 1st of january in 2010. this has to be sorted out sooner trather than later or else we will have total stagnation of new talent coming into the sport.

just some names that are on the verge of getting a break with f1 but havent a chance of getting track time to aquire their f1 superlicence.....
gp2 /formula 2 / formula masters/ world series by renault / and next year gp3 are all well and good as a stepping stone between f1 and f3 but thats where it really stops, the system sucks..
as for algersuari, i applaud him for doing it and its a shame he didnt get off the back of the grid in qualifying but fair play to him... as dor ruining his career before it begun.. anyone remember coultard crashing into the pit lane enntry at adelaide and spinning off his first pole in monza in 94? damon hill being 5 seconds off the grid in silverstione in a brabham in 92? james hunt being a death sentence to everyone around him.. jody scheckter taking out the entire field in silverstone 1973? they have to start somewhere and not every driver is born with literalluy a silver spoon and get a front running mclaren on their debut...lewis!!!!
massa will be out for the rest of the season at least i reckon... double fracture of the skull, more surgery tomorrow....barrichello and lewis are now the spokespeople for getting changes into f1 regarding safety..i really hope no kneejerk reaction will take place like it did after sennas death with straw bales in the middle of fast corners to slow cars down... we dont need f1 cars with popemoblie type windscreens or enclosed cockpits.. thats sportscars not single seaters...and if that happens the glory and sheer attraction of a single seater will be gone. ive driven a single seater racer (albeit not f1 but a 2 litre turbo formula renault) during my first 2 racing lessons and i tell you driving a single seater with an open cockpit is some thrill, it was limited to about 120 mph but man it felt so much faster.. i can understand why drivers love their job so much......
