    yet another piece of PeeWee BS!

    The only thing positive is that he's 'American' albeit South American.

    Seems as though they are pulling in money from any source, spells Ponzi to me.

    Interesting that he mentions seeing a 'wind tunnel model', so where's the real parts? Should be a strong positive for the team, he won ONE Gp2 race, tested with Renault a few years back, pretty strong resumee when the likes of trulli and co are still out there. Good job Campos and Lotus took real drivers IMO, but as PeeWee and Kenno Understand have said, they have a better way, everybody else is wrong.

    Oh wait! Didn't KA say something like that with his Falcon project! That was built on a premise of if you build it they will come, but they didn't.

    A pay driver without racing resume and without super license. Cool.

    What ever happened to:
    Peter Windsor said the pay-drivers were turned down.

    "Ken (Anderson) and I have got to be very strong, look one another in the eye and say, 'no, we're not gong to accept that money, we're not going to hire those guys because we're going to remain true to our convictions'," said Windsor.

    Windsor said it is US F1's aim to give both cockpits to young American hopefuls.


    Thanks Carol for the link.

    No and it is doubtful with his poor racing results he gets one.
