Not a rumour that he's joined Sky - https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/11561837/j...

So Sky line up 2 ex F1 drivers that are also current racing drivers, not bad! Can we kick Croft out and put Button in the booth?

I don't know who you are MITS-YOSHI but you are pumping the Japanese news!

Has someone told you to infiltrate Pistonheads to get some European interest?

[Mits Yoshi]

I just would like to introduce European drivers driving in Japan. Do you know Heikki Kovalinen also races in Japanese Super GT series?
Japanese Super GT is collaborating with DTM and will have a joint race in later 2019 season.
