Jan Charouz in HRT for FP1

Yeah, it didn't surprise me really, his dad is one of biggest "legal" thieves in this republic, so it was just matter of time after some testings.

Antonin Charouz? Just out of curiosity, what does/did he do? (I know he was a racing driver and runs several motorsport organisations including his own Le Mans team, but I'm talking about his alleged "legal" thievery.)

Well, i'm not sure about his present, but he has quite a past, where he he befriended some powerful people in banks, took loans, re-routed debt from them several times into companies, which went bankrupt and his debt (few billions of CZK) was never paid. Certainly not a person i would trust even now.

He's exclusive distributor of Ford cars into CZ, but how he got to that is also in my doubts.

That is just pure example of motorsport mafia.. My kind of guy!

Try to lick his arse a bit and you might be in F1 soon.

Jan Charouz really isn't that bad. He's about as good as Tomas Enge

Try to tell it on some czech motorsport forums and you'll get slayed.
Time will show, if he's as good as him, because thanks to his dad, it's sure he will get the opportunity.

I don't have anything against the guy, I've only seen him racing in Le Mans and he did a good a job as anyone else out there.

That's true, he does better job in GT's and tintops, than in open wheelers. Imo this was cherry on top of his carreer cake so far, i think he could win Lemans or something though.

/OT

He's got potential, but with alot of rich boys they get hated on because alot of people assume because money was already there, that talent was bought.

Meanwhile, back at Sao Paulo...

40% chance of precipitation with 1.5 to 2mm of rain expected. Chance of thunderstorms.

Hmmm!

its gonna be a great season finale.

I hope if its wet they won't go all safety nazi and not let them race till its basically inter level.

Unfortunately Im out of the country :S

Well Vettel does it again !!... and what a time!!

Not sure about claiming the record though.. sure it absolute terms it's more poles in a year than Mansell, but Mansells acheivement was 87.5% poles. Vettel would have needed to get 16.625 poles to equal that. So I don't really think he can claim any "record" as such IMO

That logic would stand up if the amount of races hadn't increased before Nigel Mansell got the record. Nobody's claiming it's a 100% like for like record as the qualifying format is different, the car rules are different, the tracks are different and likely many other factors.
