Yama'Slo'moto to keep drive to season end

[John S]

The only upside to this story is we shall probably be enjoying more of Karun's insight and F1 knowledge as a commentator on BBC 5 live & the digital tv coverage, whilst Sakon continues his rolling roadblock impressions. Oh what fun it is to have rich friends and supporters.

Sakon Yamamoto is set to complete the 2010 season driving for Hispania after ousting Karun Chandhok before the German Grand-Prix.

It is believed that Yamamoto brings many personal sponsors to the Spanish-based team and pays a pretty-price for his drive, thus resulting in a more stable financial position for HRT.

Speaking to formule1.nl the 28-year old said, "I will finish the season, whether I replace Karun on Bruno I don't know, but I will do all of the races."

Yamamoto insists that, because it is the team who decides who he replaces for which race, his relationship with his Indian and Brazilian team-mates is still very strong.

"My relationship with them is fine, it is the team who decides which car I drive, however, my position is in no doubt."
