Drivers from Asia bring us memories connected mostly to crashes and their huge support from various sponsors, who "buy" them seats in F1 teams. The only driver who has broken this stereotype was Kamui Kobayashi, but financial problems ended up his career in top racing series much earlier that we had expected. This season there is another samurai, who appeared at the horizon and who is able to show some real successes, rather than great amount of money, but it seems that it is not missing as well. Nobuharu Matsushita, Japanese Formula 3 current champion is racing in GP2 series this season and in his debut year here, he has already managed to win a race. He represent titled team, called ART Grand Prix and has Stoffel Vandoorne as his team mate, who is certainly unbeaten this season in GP2. Apart from this, Nobuharu has a great support from his manager, former F1 driver and team owner and recently also team boss in Formula E - Aguri Suzuki, as well as from Honda, whose partnership with McLaren, may upheld him the sky of Formula 1.
