QUOTE(evoHahn @ Jun 9 2008, 02:38 PM) Fairuz Fauzy, but Team Spyker is no more already. If he keep a good result in Formula Renault like finishing third at Monaco two weeks ago, probably other F1 team will give him a test driver seat. to be honest, i don't wish to see any Malaysian driver step into F1 through rubbish team, i wish no Malaysian driver rather than that ...oh btw, the Negaraku  |

Well, then you have to sent young Malaysian drivers to Europe.IIRC, massa did it, piquet did it, Mika did it at British F3, Senna did it - all of them had to go to Europe to get noticed |

Fairuz Fauzy only got a little achivement only, still long way to go before he can step into F1...i hope Malaysian driver can fully prepare and collect enough experience before come into, no point to race in F1 with last place every GP...

But Sauber in the beginning had so much hope, they were backed by Mercedes (because of Peter Sauber involvement with Mercedes in World sports car championship) and at one time almost sign schumi IIRC lah |
