After seeing a fighting performance, I am willing to take back my comment... DC was a pleasure to watch yesterday, he was battling very hard.
I agree that after yesterday it's probably appropriate to withdraw the comment about the A1GP grid, but not F1. Dan will never make it there, not should he.

He did drive with some spirit yesterday. His pass on Australia into Paddock was a classic, even if John Martin left the door wide open for him and he did have fastest lap for a while. Ironically, it was Martin who took fastest lap in the end.

Don't forget either that Clarke knows Brands very well indeed, certainly the shorter Indy section, because that is where he won the Formula Ford Festival.
