That makes Sekiguchi's Q3 run at the start of the season at Suzuka even more impressive, and then his season really, really got going when he finished 3rd at Fuji.
We talk often about how the F1 ladder only seems to reward those who have money or manufacturer ties, I think it mostly favors the people who rocket up the system with absolutely no setbacks whatsoever. Sekiguchi has neither of these things in his favour, really, but if he somehow found his way to F1, man, he'd be so fun to watch.
