The 25-year-old Japanese driver made his F1 debut with the team - in its Jordan days - back in 2005 and then moved on to Super Aguri where he was test driver last year before taking over from as a race driver for the last seven races. Unable to secure a race drive for 2007 Yamamoto stayed on as nominal test driver for Super Aguri and embarked on a season of GP2 with BCN Competicion.

"Sakon is one of the most promising young Japanese drivers who showed potential in the races he contested in 2006 and I think he and Adrian will be a complimentary pairing," said team principal Colin Kolles. "Sakon's experience of the circuits we visit in the second half of the season will be a big advantage to us as we move forward."

His chequebook may also help the team to meet its financial commitments with the deal rumoured to be worth something in the region of $15m.

So Yamamoto is now officialy substitute of Albers? Hm, I understand it was question of money that it's brought to team, but still :-/
 
There was a thread here saying that P-Diddly(squat) wanted to get into F1. Spyker should have called him... he might have paid 20mil for a drive :dopey:
 
LOL at thread title , I bet he brings a bit of sponsorship with him because klien is much better than him
