Spykers got a new Pay driver, Sakon Yamamoto, The press has been describing him as last year struggling at Super Aguri, Now if I remember right he did alright for someone dropped in at the deep end AND got 6th fastest lap at Last Years Brazilian GP, If thats struggling I hope he continue's to struggle at Spyker .

This could be interesting, i wonder how much he's bringing in.

[Alien_SAP_Fiend]

Must be a lot. Even SA won't have him.

The guy with the pink helmet!?

Whoops, Franck Montagny not Yamamoto

Well they could have done worse by signing Yuji Ide.

Aparently he brought $22 million!!!!!, thats a hell of a pay driver, usually you hear of numbers like 3 million, I can only presume $22 million is for a few years.

That's almost the average price footballers go for these days.

Hopefully part of that money will be paying my wage pretty soon

You applied for a job at Spyker or something?

[welshie]

applied to work for the people who own the wind tunnel

[madbrad]

That sounds cool. HOwever beware the tiny teams. Steve Matchett applied at ONYX and he came that close to being hired, but he luckily was offered a job at Benetton first. ONYX then went tits up.

I can not see Spyker going bust, someone will buy them out even if it is to get on the Grid next year as one of the 12 teams.
