I completely agree, Thompson is a superstar and Porteiro is a good driver. But he is spanish, it's better for the sponsors. I don't know if he pays to drive.
Anyway I don't think Porteiro is such a bad driver, of course he's not Priaulx, Muller, Huff or Thompson, but he's a good guy to start with, he's really keen on working hard. Maybe he'll grow with the Honda Accord or show a particular talent on front wheel drive cars, we don't know yet. I'd rather wait for the end of the season before knowing if Porteiro was a bad decision or a good one.
