Maybe this, combined with GP2's lack of special talents this year, will get team bosses looking more seriously at the different F3 formulae - especially since Italian F3 doesn't have the same reputation as the F3 Euroseries or British F3 at the moment.

As the cars get quicker, the records fall. It's only been since the FIA started to control speeds that the records aren't getting broken as much. I still remember the day when Coulthard managed 221.5mph at the old Hockenheim in 1998. You don't hear of those speeds anymore. The thing about lap records is that they should naturally be broken.

Clearly no-one told the press office these were only kids getting their first shot in F1 and not new race drivers. Are they seriously saying that someone in his first run in an F1 car in November is faster than Massa and Raikkonen? Sign him up immediately because if that car was close to legal this a new Senna.
