McNish has actually at circuits he knows been very close indeed to the qualifying times of Salo. Nobody seems to have noticed that.
It's always going to be a shame he didn't end up at McLaren in the early 90s where so many expected him to go. Who knows what might have happened.
It's a terrible shame but I don't see him in F1 next year. A second year would give him a tremendous opportunity to shine IMO.
