It would appear that the Australian entry is still suffering from the Alan Jones Factor.

And the American team's still suffering in A1GP from the "we've turned left on ovals for so long we've forgotten how to turn right" syndrome.......

Drag racers don't turn left or right, and rally drivers spend a lot of time in the air

We could adopt <T-K> as the Australian driver. He wouldn't embarass himself or us.

Or we Americans' could adopt <T-K> as our driver; he could probably do better than the one they've got now.....

And perhaps a Team Manager to replace the current ex-pilot?
Winning an F1 title as a driver does not automatically imbue one with other skills, especially those required to run a team of people.
