Hoping for Ho-Pin (Tung)


I'm closer to picking a new favorite driver and team. And the reason is oh-so-arbitrary. Word has it that Renault, which no longer has ING as a sponsor, is re-introducing their old school yellow and black livery. That is enough for me to lean towards them.

Now as to the driver, I have forgiven Kubica for taking away Heidfeld's only real chance of winning a race. For now, the Pole is my provisional favorite driver. But if Ho-Pin Tung gets the 2nd seat, the Chinese-Dutchman will become my favorite. Though the media thinks he is more likely to be offered the test/reserve driver spot, his ability to reach the Chinese market may mean more advertising backers-- that would certainly help the cash-strapped team.
