It's such a shame to see. I hope he is at least given time to get used to the car. Badoer has never been a mug but he is old and out of practice, the current testing regs certainly don't help. He may not have set the world on fire at Minardi, Forti and Lola Scuderia Italia. But come on, think about those teams he drove for. The guy is a former F3000 champ. Mugs do not win that title.
Comparisons with Algersuari will be made but it doesn't count because Jaime is at least immediately used to competitive racing, the same applies to Grosjean.
His race pace was not too bad considering his qualifying performance. He must be given that leeway. If he is disposed of though, they could do worse then draft in Nelson Piquet Jnr.
