It's on crash.net, and other sites. With no seats open except at Ilmor, Sete is likely to take at least a season off.

Gravelplow jokes aside, he was fast, but seemed to lack the fire that other competitors had.

Sad day he was brilliant after Kato died. He should take a year off and come back.

Really? That's not the impression I have. I would say that he's got the talent, but lacks the mental strength necessary. Events, Rossi, and the press made him start to doubt himself and he never recovered.

Surgeons and Motorcycle racers need to be prima donnas or they just aren't going to be the best of the best.
