cavallino 2 Report post Posted October 30, 2006 I can think of two drivers who have taken their teammates out more than once this season, Tigao Monteiro and Nico Rosberg - just an interesting tidbit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect even that wouldn't provide sufficient evidence for you to come to the right conclusion... Just look at what happened when Monteiro and Karthikeyan were matched in the same equipment! Anyway, this idea that we can't make sensible judgements about the relative quality of two drivers unless they have been matched together is rubbish, although conveneient rubbish for your sake as Karthikeyan has only had one teammate in F1 and hence can only be worse than him according to your logic. It's like saying that we will never know whether Karthikeyan is better than Schumacher because Schumachers has now retired before being matched against the Indian...

bajo39 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2006 I don't like Narain anymore. Read in the papers that he's helping out the "Indian" A1 gp team in an ad-hoc way. He's selected an absolute twat of a driver whose dad ensured him plenty of drives last year.Narain's career in F1 is as good as over. He had a chance last year to make an impression. He ended up being too erratic, even if faster. He should have outshone Tiago, but botched it up. For e.g in the Indy "race" , he should have come third to make any sort of impression. He will end up being another guy with failed F1 dreams. Good post anything else? bajo? Stay in school and don't do drugs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nov.21 (GMM) Williams test driver Narain Karthikeyan will shake down the Oxfordshire based team's 'interim' car for the winter at an English circuit this week. On a trip to western city Mumbai this week, the Indian told reporters that, in preparation for the first winter test of the 2007 pre-season beginning next Tuesday, he is scheduled to run the Toyota-powered 'FW28B' at the Kemble airfield in Gloucestershire. "Basically, it will be checking software," Karthikeyan, 29, added, revealing that he will drive at Kemble on Thursday. Although slotted into the secondary test spot this year, and forced to be content again with a shared role in 2007, Narain insists that leaving Jordan to join Williams was the right move. "I don't regret joining Williams," he said, denying that he is considering becoming a race driver in the A1 GP series. "I should have probably started off as a test driver (in 2005) but I'm still young enough to have a long career in F1." http://totalf1.com/view-article.php?newsid=184349 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted November 21, 2006 Hindsight is a wonderful thing and he is probably right regarding the testing role, but I'd disagree with his view that he has a long F1 career ahead of him. He has the wrong age/experience ratio for that, I feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
