Sato. He made an instant impact. In more than one way.
Gene was excellent too, though. Who will vote for Baumgartner? Last edited by Knowlesy; 12 Oct 2003 at 17:40. |

I bet Gene had far more running at Monza than Sato has at Suzuka before this years respective GP.
I voted Gene though. |

Adam- think you're spot on with that assessment of Sato's alleged Suzuka experience- if I'm right in assuming Suzuka isn't part of the regular F1 test schedule, then Sato's Suzuka experience prior to today is probably about 1 GP distance (and the associated practice/qualifying sessions) more than it was at the start of last year's Japanese GP- before which, in the Thursday press conference, when asked when he'd last raced at Suzuka, his reply was:
'It was the beginning of 98 because I had a scholarship from Suzuka Racing School in Japanese F3' Bearing in mind that he had no racing experience (other than a little karting?) prior to the Suzuka School in 97, and since mid-1998 his career was almost exclusively in UK or European series, then he probably has LESS experience of Suzuka than many current F1 drivers, (let alone someone like Firman who's raced regularly in Japan for two or three years...) I think he did a good job today, but if we're looking for the best stand-in performance of the year, then maybe Gene's just shades it Last edited by KA; 12 Oct 2003 at 20:03. |

Both Gene and Sato drove very well, but Gene only got 1 more point driving a Williams than Sato did driving a BAR, so Sato gets my vote. (plus he managed in one eace to score half the points that Villeneuve did in fifteen races ) |

Good subbing from Gene and Sato, but I give the nod to Sato.

Sato. Gene did well but the Williams has been a consistent front running car all year and he'd tested at Monza the previous week, Sato took the erratic BAR into the points at a track where he hadn't tested.

The question as posed limits down our options somewhat! Gene or Sato, nothing in bar the qualifying, but taking into the relative performances of their respective cars not to mention engines I'd say SATO!
Had the question just said "who was the best sub"...there would have been greater options for debate...Davidson was subbing for 4 drivers at Suzuka! Webber,Wilson,Button and Sato. Last year for Fisichella after his accident, Panis, Villenuve, and Yoong! When is this kid going to get a decent crack at F1? How many other young men are there walking about the F1 paddock with 25,000kms F1 mileage under their belts with a moulded seat in 4 differant teams spares trucks!? |

I would say sato, but only because I missed the other races, and don't really think I can comment fairly

Its got to be Sato, for showing us what team BAR are capable of without JV around.

I say Sato because he did not have the car that Gene had nor the experience.
