JPM wins rookie of the year

[Belatti]

No Ciro, I was referring to the Americas Cup match when Argentina lost 3-0 to Colombia and Palermo missed 3 PK for Argentina. Fortunately now that piece of donkey is where it belongs (Boca Juniors).

EDIT: sorry for being so OOT, TOO!!!

jeje OOT TOO
(I´m childish, never mind)

Also, as usual, Juan shined more in the beginning, before running into troubles in his condition as foreigner, something that part of the grid (as usual... sigh) has found to be a real menace for the "status" at any series he has raced.

Sorry for being OOT too, but ... we have a young talented compatriot driving British Formula BMW - Josef Kral (he ended the season second and fought for overall victory). He was second in Formula BMW World Finals. But he was disqualified because two of the bolts used to fasten the floor to the didn't have logo of an official supplier of the series on them. Almost identical thing happened to him last year.
Thank you Mr. Theissen and co.!

Now they can have a German driver on podium.

Sorry for the rant, but these things make me so angry.

Well, thats a begining at least.
We have got nothing... thank you World Economy for having the Euro that high
Now noone can sponsor anything there

Not to mention that South American F3 should be called Brazilian F3 now and that all Argentinian F.Renault drivers go directly to stockcars after a couple of years

Hey, don't blame

the Euro! The thing is, the Dollar's depreciation (a natural development, reflecting the US economy's relative size in the World market) is unfairly carried by the Euro, as Asian central banks do not allow their currencies to appreciate as much as they should. As their economies mature, that will eventually change, but currently the EU's economy is actually paying for growth elsewhere and losing competitiviness. Welcome to a globalised World, where free lunches still don't exist.

Actually, South American businesses, too, might find good export markets in Europe at present. Drivers? Well, I'm not aware of any economists publishing studies about race driver payscales specifically (even if the sums, especially in F1 and NASCAR are sizable), but I doubt currencies have any direct effect in those considerations. Even if a few Hollywood celebrities and pop stars want to be paid in Euro these days ...

We may be a part of European Union for three years, but the exchange rate of our currency to Euro is 1€ to 27 CZK. We are good, but Kral will probably have to try and find sponsors outside our country.
