I am not at all impressed with SA's A1 efforts, nor with the series itself so far.
If I was Tokyo Sexwale, the SA team owner, I would immediately replace Stephen Simpson as the driver and slot in either young Scheckter or try to so-opt Alan van der Merwe.
The team's performances have not been up to scratch at all, despite the lame post-race comments. Hell, we're supposed to be a motorsport nation with a tradition.
And as for the commentary on our national broadcaster - it's useless. The guys clearly don't know who's driving what car - it's no good saying "there goes Pakistan on the outside round Lebanon"- who are the drivers ?
Unless they start to improve that, the series will struggle ( at least for English speakers). Compared with the triumphant start of F1 masters - 85 000 happy fans at Kyalami, superb racing, and recognisable names - all compered by the inimitable Murray Walker, it looks dismal.
