Quote from Mustafur :He wasn't that impressive though but that was due to the minardi being around 100hp off there competetitors, Alonso didn't become known till 03 in the renualt, when he whooped trulli. He became known when he was in Minardi, that's why Renault hired him.
Kobayashi... big name, some decades in the future federation students will face a test named after him...
