He will have paved way into F1 with Toyota. Why would he quit so early

Ok, first test for Kalle, but he interrupted and didn´t test in the afternoon at Suzuka. After being 22nd out of 22, and 7 secs behind, his "illnes" seems mystic. They told media he needs rest after a hectic year, but to me it seems like a wake up...

My bet is he joins WRC in 2027 again.

It wouldn't suprise me. It will be a good reality check.

I don't think he made up the illness. It sounds like something similar I have, I can't drive when it happens.

Lol, yea he made it up that his medical condition and doctor doesn't allow him to drive for some time..
Super formula + suzuks is pretty difficult combo for first outings..

Doohan, who drove in F1, was ca 4s down

Vertigo is what chicks fake when they want some time off work lol

Haven't seen proper vertigo then.. 50+ dad had it out of nowhere, couldn't stand or sit properly and took couple weeks to fully recover the balance/stability while walking..

I had it only once as a severe case, other times more lightly, but in the severe case I couldn't do anything. Even standing still felt like I was falling if I moved my head, every object was out of focus, so reading or grabbing things was very difficult. But I have no idea of the scientific names, so I can't judge what Kalle said.

I'm sure vertigo exists. It's just that it's often faked due to the fact that it's impossible to disprove
