Re: Autosport mega Christmas quiz

You scored 47/101 (46.53%).

F1 only: 24/30 (80.00%).

Non-F1: 23/71 (32.39%).

Nakajima was looking good for at least 7th or 8th until Kamui chopped him. I don't see why people think he is a bad driver, with Kazuki I mean there are worse like Romain, Nelson and Bourdais, he is a different Japanese driver but maybe he needed a more aggressive strategy a bit like Nico's.
