As I have always been, I did some research on his backgroud before I started 'hating' him. He didn't start racing cars only after 20 years old! What was that man? Michael Schumacher started racing karts at 6! What he does before that was racing boats or something.

He went to Formula Nippon before coming to F1, and he failed to score a single point there! And racing series is much much slower than F1, and he was in a car capable of scoring points. His replacement socred points after a few races. So I expected him to do very badly in F1.

And it proves that Formula Nippon is nothing. The current Ralph Firman was a Formula Nippon Champion! And what happens now, overshadowed by his teammate.

I supported talented people. See what Karamjit Singh has done, at his age, he is still capable of winning!

very informative. too ambitious is not good. if you can't do it, better don't do it at all and spare the humiliation.

yeah... have to agree... Karamjit is really good at rally

superb self-financed sportsman... fully deserved the sportsman of the year award!

but as for yoong.... he'd be ok if not of the politics.... sigh... too bad. i mean. at least he'll just be doing whatever he wants and won't bein the limelight.

But seriously, a big disgrace to M'sia. The best way to ask non-M'sians what do they think about AY. But most people would think that he's the 'best' F1 driver you can get in M'sia, and he did so badly. So they would assume that the rest of the M'sians are worse!

That is, if they don't know if it was political decision. The funny thing is, before he started qualifying in Australia last year, I knew AY is not the driver I'm going to support, I expected him to do poorly, and he did.

I think he has a lot of supporter in M'sia, but by then, I already know is struggling. He's not that bad, but he's just too slow. At least he don't trash all his cars. Surprisingly, he did slightly better in the final few races after being suspended for 3 races, but it was too late. Paul Stodart has decided to sack him already.

those who are to be blamed are the politicians that pushed for the deal... bad move dudes. totally backfired... can see every race.. some drivers will laugh at AY during qualifications... crash right after coming out for the pits... man... sad case but... WHAT TO DO???
seriously i doubt he even wanted to be there in the 1st place...

Dashken · 23rd Apr 2003, 02:14 PM

Then we should respect his courage. By being out there during every race even though he already knew that jell be last and not more than that. I think that's very courageous of him. I don't think even one of us can do that.

peaz · 23rd Apr 2003, 02:22 PM

well, at that point where u are already FORCED by the ppl 'up there' to go in... you don't really have a choice..

i'd say he'd be more courageous if he just said.. look, I'm not qualified so I won't take the offer up

goldfries · 23rd Apr 2003, 03:59 PM

there's a difference between courage and stupidity. not implying him directly, not that he's stupid either. we don't know what he's facing. however it would be best he don't take up that challenge, but i guess M'sia wants to be part of everything. what to do.

Thats the spirit

I think they are being over ambitious. We don't even have a proper racing school here. How can you expect to develope a good racing driver here?
