Yeah, right.

Kanaan gets the obligatory F1 test for bringing home an empty championship for Honda. Dance your little Tonda Bunraku dance, Tony. If you think you're doing anything but going through the motions then the problem isn't that you're a phoney, it's that you're an idiot.

I saw this on Speed last week and rolled my eyes longer than my eyes wanted to be rolled.

It's just a "thank you" ride.

From ITV-F1

Tony Kanaan, who recently clinched the American Indy Racing League championship, says that he will be given a test with BAR as a 'thank you' by engine supplier Honda.

Tha Brazilian, who has completed every single racing lap in the IRL this year, clinched the championship with one race to run.

Speaking to a Brazilian radio station, Kanaan said: "It's a childhood dream of mine. Honda told me the test will happen."

But he added that nothing should be read into the test. "It's just a gift," he said. "I am signed with Andretti Green Racing until 2008, and we have big plans."

Kanaan is very good friends with Ferrari driver Rubens Barrichello, who has also in the past few days been linked with BAR should Jenson Button finally head to Williams.

Ole Nozzle Noze has about as much chance of running in F1 as Sam the Sham.

Nevermore.

That news alone is enough to make Edgar Allan Poe break out in a hardy laugh.

Someone on TF said that "we can all pretty much agree" that Kanaan is the most talented guy in racing to have not gotten a shot at F1. :rofl:

Did I miss the announcement where F1 added a dozen ovals for 2005? When was the last time Kanaan won a road race anyway, 1997?
