F1 - Luca Badoer...

[Willie Trombone]

What is the point of a test driver with the current ban on testing in-season?

+1
Other than filling in for the injuries that is...
Thing is - you have so little time to test that you want your drivers in the cars when you do. Can't afford to put a guy in the car who isn't actually getting some practice in at the same time.

Talented drivers are going to fall behind since they aren't getting much other than racing weekend in. New up and coming drivers will never catch up with those who raced in prior seasons where testing was allowed.

You guys are over-analysing the particular situation, and perhaps it will draw attention to the possible effects of limited testing, but as far as Badoer is concerned... He sucked, twice, badly...

 

[Willie Trombone]

And will likely suck a third time given the chance. As would anyone who hasn't actually driven this year - Michael Schumacher included IMO.

You think shummi would have finished last?

No dude sorry but talent cannot be made, you either have it or you don't and luca obviously is not a f1 sensation .

 

[Willie Trombone]

None of us would reall know though, would we... so it's always going to be opinon
