Yea i think he may well have got the quickest time, to be only 2 tenths off Hamilton on a 1 lap run is pretty good. NOW JUST GET THROUGH Q1 ![]() I wont say anything until after qualiying. |

It's because Nakajima isn't an overhyped German like Vettel and Rosberg.

Well I am pleased to see Nakajima do well, even scoring points last time round in the face of the hyoe of Rosberg who I do believe has also matured well since his first season. I'd say Piquet is having a Rosberg rookie season. Rosberg was much worse in his first season than Nakajima. |

Yup, and he got a lot of hype too....... Conclusion: If you're German and have one half decent session people will tout you as the next Schumacher.

the ironic thing is even Hamilton is being touted as the next Schumacher... well let's face it... it's better than being touted as the next Damon Hill

not a big fan of nationalism in sport, I rather see MS as a great F1 racer than a great German F1 racer, no country has really dominated, only personalities, Fangio, Senna, Prost, Schumacher |

I'm a fan of Schumacher not because he is German... but because he was bloody good, before him I was a fan of Mansell... As for being Nationalistic... Irvine was an on/off Irish driver but I have never supported him... |

I don't know, there have been some great British champions. Do Clark, Stewart or Graham Hill ring any bells?
