Kanaan testing for BAR at Jerez

"Tony has done a great job over the years winning so many races in both the CART and IRL series with Honda-powered cars," says Yasuhiro Wada, the president of Honda Racing Development. "We are very pleased to give him this chance to sample our F1 machinery."

Is it a joy ride or a test?

It sounds like the former.

And by "so many", he means one CART race. Shows how much easier thing are over there in earldom.

This is actually a GIFT RIDE. He was "promised" a ride in the BAR car after winning the championship last year, he's been pissing and moaning about the fact he hasn't gotten the freebie since the end of last year. I hope he crashes big, not getting hurt, but costing FH a mill or two. That would be too funny.

When does Dario get his gift?

Nothing to see here...

"Tony has done a great job over the years doing what we tell him for a paycheck. He sucks, but he is a good company boy." says Yasuhiro Wada, the president of Honda Racing Development. "We think he is an ********, but we promised him the chance to play in a F1 car".

I translated the quote from Japanese.

That was luck, and he damn near threw that one away, too.

This must be that new high-downforce nose I heard BAR was testing.

Kanaan is so good, he'll definitely bump Button or Barrichello. All he does is win oval races!

Yup and would have been a maximum of two Cart races, but of course Long Beach 99 was also thrown away while in the lead.

I was there, sitting high just off the s/f line. Heard Max crying on the scanner and saw Montoya almost get The Knose at the line. Felt really bad for Max.

I was probably sitting close enough to see you. I felt worse for myself than for Papis because I had him in our pool and he cost me $40. :D

[Sean O'Gorman]

But just think, if it paid off, Papis would've been on the cover of SI, right? :laugh:
