Champion Elect
With Japan's history in Motorsport, how come this country has never produced an F1 world champion driver or team?
We've seen the best drivers like Takuma Sato, Aguri Suzuki and Kamui Kobayashi come to the sport and never completely shine, Kobayashi could do in the future.
But we've also seen so terrible drivers. Anyone remember Yuji Ide, he had a nightmare in 2006 at the San Marino GP and lost his superlicense for a while. Plus who can forget about Sakon Yamamoto, this man hangs around like a bad smell.
We've seen Japanese Manufacters Honda and Toyota join the sport and neither team won the WCC in their time in the sport. Alright Honda won a few world titles as an engine supplier but them like Toyota spent loads of money to become successful in the sport as a team rather than supplier.
The only really successful thing thats come from Japan in regards to F1 is Bridgestone tyres they won many titles back in the 00's with Ferrari.
But why has Japan failed to be a success in F1?
