Senna 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 from f1central.net: Veteran F1 racer David Coulthard is tipping a 16-year-old karting star for future grand prix glory. His name is Alex Sims. ''What marks him out,'' said nine-year McLaren driver Coulthard, ''is his absolute dedication and professionalism.'' Alexander, a top Formula A karter, was voted top sportsman on UK newspaper The Times' predicted 2020 'Rich List.' ''(Coulthard's endorsement) means a lot to me,'' he told local newspaper Stamford Today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You forgot Michael Schumacher!!!!!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're right but I didn't forget him because I was talking about the late '90s and Schu raced in karting in the late '80s (alongside McNish,Kristensen,Frentzen,Zanardi,Sospiri and Hakkinen)....If we wanna talk about the early '90s we have also Trulli,Fisichella,Verstappen,Magnussen,Heidfeld,Montoya and many others big talents who didn't reach F.1 just because lack of fundings (just like G.Beggio,D.Rossi,M.Ryttarbris,J.Mislijevic,A.Manetti and many many others!!!Is sad however to see drivers with no palmares coming in F.1 when quicker and more talented drivers remain in kar or stop at junior formulae due to lack of fundings.....
