Well it isn't just "feeder", it is also a place for trialling potential new drivers.

Right, so if Yuki has done his time and hasn’t got the call-up then why is he there?

On another morepoignant note, this week's Christmas double issue sees the last of Autosport magazine as a weekly publication - the end of an era that began on the 25th August 1950.
I used to buy it religiously every week from the mid 80s through to about 2010-ish, when it went from being "the bible" to a more F1 and lifestyle-orientated publication. I also contributed in a small way as a retained club racing photographer for close to a decade.

I used to buy Motor Sport from early 60s in my early teens and used to have tons of them stacked in cardboard boxes , went off to university in Dublin and my mother threw them all out ! I will always remember an ad ( they were all in black and white then ) always inside the back cover of Motor Sport for " Scott Montcrieff , purveyors of horseless carriages to the nobility and gentry since ..( cant remember the year) and pics of beautiful old Rolls etc . There is one headline I remember from inside Autosport when Dan Gurney won at Spa which said "Eagle flies high at Spa" I wish I had them now .

I refer the gentleman to the earlier response...
I was only thinking a few days ago, what next for Yuki if it doesn't get the call up... It'll be clear he's been passed over, would Aston take him as their number 2?

If Yuki has the Honda clout that is implied then it’s a strong possibility. But number 2 to whom?

That indeed is the question, as much as I love Alonso, I think he has passed the pinnacle of prowess and we have seen a decline in him over the last 18months. Ideally they want some up and coming young spunker ready to be ready when the car is ready, but not going to cost a fortune throwing the car at the scenery every race.
