Clarke did the best he could in what was a difficult situation, as has been said he hasnt done any racing for over a year prior to his A1 GP outing and it showed. Had he had some track time before the weekend then perhaps he would have been closer to the front running pace, the question in my mind though is even if he had pre season testing would he be at the front of the grid? Yes he was decent in Champcar but he wasnt a consistant front runner, some of that was down to the Reynard chassis though and the fact he was a rookie, hes fast but he isnt proven on the international scene just yet.
