Yea my bad it was Alguersuari who didnt turn the steering wheel yet (as he did straight line testing) I recalled Hartley's experience restricted to straight-line fun too, but true enough, he did have a shake-down.

The standards are getting lower and lower in what was the most prestigeous F3 championships of them all someday. To quote the good old JPM you need to be either blind or stupid (not to notice that) Looking no further than last year: Asmer is quite worthless IMO (despite all the hype) and Engel coming 2nd last year really tells a lot too, these grids are just weak. The place to be is certainly F3euroseries. Browse thru these names and update your views I suggest:

1. Romain Grosjean (Renault tests)
2. Sebastien Buemi (RBR tests)
3. Nicolas Hülkenberg (Williams tests)
4. Kamui Kobayashi (Toyota tests)

1. Paul di Resta (DTM front-runner)
2. Sebastian Vettel (BMW GP, STR GP)
3. Kohei Hirate (Toyota test)
4. Esteban Guerrieri

1. Lewis Hamilton (Mclaren GP)
2. Adrian Sutil (Spyker GP, Force India GP)
3. Lucas di Grassi (Renault tests)
4. Franck Perera (Toyota tests)

1. Jamie Green (DTM front-runner)
2. Alexandre Premat (GP2 front-runner)
3. Nicolas Lapierre (A1GP front-runner)
4. Nico Rosberg (Williams GP)

1. Ryan Briscoe (straight to F1 with Toyota tests and GP)
2. Christian Klien (straight to F1 with Jaguar GP and RBR GP)
3. Oliver Pla
4. Markus Winkelhock (Spyker tests and GP)



----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------


1. Marco Asmer (Williams tests, BMW tests)
2. Maro Engel
3. Stephen Jelley (painfully slow in GP2 Asia)
4. Sam Bird (struggles in F3 Euroseries)


1. Mike Conway (Honda tests, GP2 front-runner, the only real talent of them all)
2. Oliver Jarvis (no slouch)
3. Bruno Senna (will test in F1 sooner rather than later)
4. Yelmer Buurman (a Dutch who got the boot from TRUST-Arden...)

1. Alvaro Parente (WSbR champion, another one to watch)
2. Charlie Kimball (struggles in F3 euroseries)
3. Mike Conway
4. Marco Asmer


2004 (thats more like it) :

1. Nelson Angelo Piquet
2. Adam Carroll
3. James Rossiter
4. Clivio Piccione
