Just what we need, another driver with more money than talent...

what we right now have in f1 is that there is one driver with a lot of talentNeil Pickup said:
and a lot of others just to make up the numbers

Still, at least Raikkonen, Button and Montoya have talent. Drivers who pay for their place don't deserve a place in the sport - I know it's unavoidable for Minardi and Jordan/Midland but it still annoys me immensely.

I wouldn't go that far...
Webber, Button and Raikonnen are all extremely talented and if were put in even cars with Schumacher they would challenge dont you worry... Ferrari are so far ahead in technology its not funny... Schumacher is a great driver no question, however alot of his dominance can be put down to his car...

Think we could do with actually seeing the guy drive without making a possibly ill informed judgement NeilNeil Pickup said:

the main thing with the ferrari's is that they dont break, meaning they finish basically all the time, and with their pace and good drivers, pick up points all the time.

im not bothered by that, because thats where the money is now for formula one, the sport would die if it were to stay primarily in europe, with a race in aus, asia and america....Langeveldt said:Fair enough..

however i agree with neil, its not good for the sport with drivers paying their way into teams, imo he will get 1 year and not be seen of again, a bit like Pantano really!

India should fix up the mess they're in at the moment and control more important issues such as national wide poverty, corruption, pollution and incompetence amongst the Government and in government services.
The re-building of infrastructure and the massive overhaul of current political and social community standards and values is desperately needed. I've just been there, so I can see what needs to be fixed up.
F1 is just a pipe dream at this stage. After this guy I doubt if there will be another F1 driver coming out of India. It requires far too much money, and I think India as a country need to get their priorities sorted out.
