Ide Axed !

Super Aguri reserve driver Franck Montagny will replace Yuji Ide in the second race car for the Euro GP this weekend. Apparently, the FIA recommended that Ide get some more miles in a F1 car during testing rather than risk other drivers safety.

More than Ide going out, I am looking forward to seeing Montagny race. A former Renault test driver (during 2003 and 2004), he was also the third driver for Jordan last year. It is high time he got to drive a race car in a GP, for he is one of the more deserving drivers out there - definitely more deserving than the man he is replacing.

It will be interesting to see how he does in comparison to Sato, even if it is in a Super Aguri. It is really 'phenomenal' for this guy from Fuers in France to finally race in GP !! Here is hoping he has a great first race !
