KAZUKI NAKAJIMA

KAZUKI belongs to WILLIAMS and is a second driver. His father is SATORU NAKAJIMA who was a F1 driver and excellent driver, and KAZUKI is also an excellent driver. In 1996 he debuted car racing, and then he did fine. He raced in the GP2 series in 2007, and got the fifth, and gained the rookie of the year. In 2008 he made a contact as a regular driver, and entered F1. Now he rears his head. He has already got 7point, and gained points in MONACO GP, it was first time for Japanese. It is worthy for the media in the world and F1 parties to notice the future of Kazuki. Although pressure from others, he overcome it and races carefully. I expect that he was awarded, and I boost Kazuki who is only Japanese driver.

Monaco GP

The Preliminary contestFerrari got the first and second position. Ferrari hasn’t won Monaco GP for seven years, so this result was hopeful. McLaren got the third and fourth position. Alonso who won three times in a row at Monaco GP got the seventh position. Japanese driver, Kazuki got fourteenth position. The course in Monaco isn’t car racing circuit, but it is the common street. It is difficult to drive that course because that width of road is very narrow.

















The Final
It rained in the morning, but it stopped raining toward noon. However, it rains again just before the race. The rainy race demand strategy of team and courage of driver. We have high expectation of wining Ferrari. Then the race started. Raikkonen didn’t get off to a bad start, so he was passed by Hamilton.
