How fast is Yoong?

I want to ask you something about Alex Yoong....

He started his career in Monza against Alonso (very fast driver) and lost the fight against him.

In 2002 he raced against Webber (also very fast) and was able to follow him in indy, so Yoong is as fast as webber, and webber is one of the bast drivers

So, I think : give hime a 2nd chance!!

Where is Yoong nowadays? It's some obsucre formula, I know, and a bunch of rookies who have never been in F1 are thrashing him.

Just because he runs close to his team-mate in ONE RACE during the year is not an indication thta he is worthy of an F1 drive.

Well, Im not really a fan of him, but his career started against 2 of the best drivers of the field ==> really unlucky :-(

But sure I want to have only fast, talented drivers in F1!, not the money drivers as Yoong, but if he had driven against Marques (or another slow driver) in the beginning, I think he should be still in F1 at the moment

how fast is yoong??
---> he's just slow

he even needed to quit 2 races to practise on fast laps and Davidson replaced him and qualified hisself at spa and hungary (not easy circuits so...)

yoong: the fastes malaysian driver (probably there's only yoong who is driving over there)

come on guys, where's your sense of hum... erm... well admit it ms wouldn't want yoong as his teammate and knowing the criteria by which ms is allowed to chose his partners the whole laurent's question doesn't seem so pointless anymore... :)

Yoong is as fast as 3 working days ( normal amount of time for a cheque to clear :) )

Thats true but then again we are not pretending to be reputable F1 drivers are we?

Due to the voting system in Germany, Governments are always made up of coalitions of different parties. At the last election, an almost unprecidented result saw the CDU/CSU (rough equivilant of the Conservatives) go into Government with the SPD (rough equivilant of Labour)

Correct Sam. Everything is realtive. In realtive terms, Yoong is unfrotunatly a very poor race driver. As are quite a few of the drivers who get into back of the grid teams
