I have followed all World Series by Renault races this year, and with the support he had of Telmex Racing, he should have won the championship with leftovers. Fabio Carbonne with not too much resources gave him a driving class and reached in the third position in the championship. And the first opportunity, Slim is arranged to put him the F1 wheel, without any doubts. I believe Durán is staying one more year in WS, will become Telmex F1 test driver, and then reach one of the seats for 2010, possibly with Sérgio Perez in the second seat. That's why I think 2009 will be a fire test for both Senna and Button.
Yes, the team was sooo goood that they put Salvador slick tyres on a wet Monaco qualy...When Durán was the fastest! Oh...Of course he qualifiedin the last spots and it is impossible to pass...
The team was sooo good that when Salvador won Nurburgring, the got DSQed because hey put last year's 1st gear!!
Yes, we also have to add that Durán DID do his own mistakes like crashing in Barcelona when 2nd...Before starting!! He could just post the fastest lap in the 2nd race.
If you addall of that and more mistakes that have happened like that, he surely would've been much better.
But surely, Durán is so bad that he has won Monza, Silverstone and Nurburgring...And has been a podium finisher at Monaco and Spa (twice). Shitty shitty tracks...Al of us can do it, can't we?
He is s bad that he has won A1GP races and one of the 3 most important endurance races...
Anyway, it looks like Durán will be going to Indy Car next year and not even with TELMEX.The team's policies wouldn't be as you all think. Carlos Slim Domit has said on several occassions that the reason why EscuderÃa TELMEX was created in 2000 was to support the Mexican drivers in the best possible series and to take one from the feeder series up to F1.
Slim Somit has said that they could've had a Mexican F1 team since some years ago (and there is no doubt about it) for 2 Mexicans but that is not the purpose. The purpose is not to pay a Mexican an F1 seat (they would've already done it), but to open them the doors through the feeder series and spport them to F1 ONLY IF they have the level to compete.
Id they don't have he level to compete, they won't be there. But believe me, in less than 10 years, a Mexican will win a GP (I think he won't be a Telmex driver, though).
I just hope Button can be 6th-7thy on a race and for the second time, 6 drivers ahead of him retire and he wns, like in Hungary...And we can hear the Mexican Ntional Anthem
