TSH. Of course, he still gets sponsor money & stuff, but STILL. Are Williams stingy or what? It's not his fault he's crap. D:

Hmm, well, Romain Grosjean deserved nil xD

You know, Kazuki might have said he'll race for free. Until Kobayashi's entrance he was the only Japanese driver in the sport so he'd have got lots of sponsorship from Japan, and Williams might have threatened to bin him unless he raced for free...
But still, he should have got some salary.

[stephTH]

Good point. He still deserves more though.

[CharChar93]

Yeah, I know xD
Somebody on TV on Saturday said that he was talking to some teams so *fingers crossed* he might get a seat next year...

[stephTH]

Well, maybe not now. If they're looking for a Japanese driver, it's far more likely for Kobayashi to be hired, especially as Toyota have dropped out.

-_-

[CharChar93]

Yeah, I can't believe Toyota dropped out
Kamui <3
I hope he gets a drive.

[stephTH]

Me too because he deserves it. More than Nakajima anyway.

[CharChar93]

Apparently Toyota ae doing all they can to get Kamui and Kazuki drives.
I think they'll probably be successful with Kamui, especially if he's part of an engine deal, but Kazuki I'm not so sure about. I want them both to drive
