The old Boy also did a 59.4 in qualifying, and was also fatting it it off the hairpin but going foward with superior throttle control than the "kid".

It begs the question does it not, how good is the "kid" if he and all his Dad's mega-money cant beat a 71 year old?
Ken is amazing, I quite agree. Quite unbelievable at his age. Living proof of the old story "if you dont stop you wont stop", or something like that.

Only 2 more NZ GP's and he has 50 under his belt.
