Will Tony Kanaan Test For F1’s BAR?
If this story out of Brazil turns out to be true it may come to pass.
Tony Kanaan, who recently clinched the American Indy Racing League championship, says that he will be given a test with BAR as a ‘thank you’ by engine supplier Honda. Tha Brazilian, who has completed every single racing lap in the IRL this year, clinched the championship with one race to run.Speaking to a Brazilian radio station, Kanaan said: “It’s a childhood dream of mine. Honda told me the test will happen.” But he added that nothing should be read into the test. “It’s just a gift,” he said. “I am signed with Andretti Green Racing until 2008, and we have big plans.”
Kanaan is very good friends with Ferrari driver Rubens Barrichello, who has also in the past few days been linked with BAR should Jenson Button finally head to Williams.
That’s some “gift,” Santa never brought me an F1 test. And about that little contractual thing, we all know they aren’t worth the paper they are written on. Money talks and speaks a different language than the legal jargon found in signed contracts.
