Damon should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The point of the 107% rule is to keep the teams fairly evenly matched. Sato was allowed to continue in Australia because of unforseen circumstances (i.e. he crashed while it was dry and was only able to set a time in the wet). Yoong was not allowed to continue because he had no problems and simply wasn't quick enough. When this happens I think it's totally fair enough. For me Yoong encompasses everything wrong with the way drivers of hired at the back end the grid. There are thousands of drivers more talented and quicker than Yoong in the world that won't get their chance because they don't have a multi million pound backer. Its so frustrating.
