I'd wager it was premature to post this, unless you're also going to blame Farfus for the left-rear puncture, seeing as he was in the car at the time? Could it not be more likely that there was a problem (which has now retired the #46) that no driver could have done anything about?

He isn't rubbish, he's okay. Not great, not awful. Does this make him deserving of a seat with a top team? I don't think so, but his status/popularity has given him the drive. So far, the results bare out his performance; some glimpses of pace (such as the fastest lap so far) but otherwise at the upper end of the midfield. This isn't Vadim Kogay we're discussing.
The issue with Rossi(been his fan since 98) is that he is rated as a Platinum when actually he should be a Silver or a Bronze. Yes he is 9 times world champion but his racing experience is severely limited

I actually think he is doing really well, obviously he cannot compete with the top gt3 drivers but he is 85-90% there. Had he been Silver or Bronze I am sure he would have been winning in the pro am or silver classes and would have been highly competitive there

Yes they do mention him a lot, but he also probably brings a lot of fans and attention to the series as well. Like Alonso did for the WEC
