Yoong's main mission for 2002 will be to qualify for the race, let alone trying to finish anywhere. His couple of races this year were hardly impressive and will most likely go down in history as just another shocker of a rent-a-driver.
Good news to hear Asiatech are making the effort to build their own engine. Hopefully it performs better than this year and gains more development and power. Then, just maybe, Minardi could be competitive. But it will also depend on how good the car is and who's driving. |

He seems pretty confident in a built-from-scratch engine, and really focused on his effort to make good races.
I think in both cases, the problem will be reliability. |

He's on a mission alright. A mission to become the slowest driver EVER!

Well...no matter how good the engine would be next year, i can't imagine Yoong doing much... he seems to be one of the many drivers who just pass my F1 and make up the numbers.

Ralf I think the accolade for slowest driver ever goes to Ricardo Rosset, he was the biggest arse going, Yoong hopefully will come good, not Micheal Schumacher good but a respectable Grand Prix driver.

Mark Webber would be great, but what Minardi needs is money...

The Mi3 joke is lost on me, but if it refers to chassis numbers it is incorrect since the 2002 car will be the PS-02.
Yoong has raced in three grands prix. In a Minardi. People are judging him WAY too critically. Ok, so he has been draughted in to a great extent because of the cash backing he brings with him, but that's what Minardi needs - the money to afford good engines to make their cars go faster to get the results which attract talented drivers. If you want to discuss laughable F1 drivers, might I suggest the names Ricardo Rosset, Giovanni Lavaggi and Taki Inoue? Neither Alex Yoong nor Esteban Tuero could ever be considered laughable. |
