Realist - on this we agree. It does put in a marker regarding the current level that the local drivers are at. However, in fairness to the Thunder Arabia organisers, I think they are well aware of this and know that as most of their drivers are relatively inexperienced it will take some time for them to develop to European standards. Nonetheless, all credit to them for starting on the journey and for having the very laudable ambition to produce the first F1 driver from the Middle East. Good luck to them.
As for Jamie, he's still determined to prove that he has what it takes to win championships. Watch this space!!
