Taki Inoue.
Shinji Nakano.
Both are Japanese, so it's even better. If you don't have to stick to Japanese people only, you could always write about Luca Badoer, Johnny Carwash (Giovanni Lavaggi) or Jean-Denis "and what is Deletraz doing" Deletraz.
I still gave him a 1 rating, but I might have to change that after rewatching the start of the race. Apparently he shut off the engine both because it was overheating and because of the yellow flags (goes all the way back to 2006 where there was a rule that stated that you must do so, and that's when Schumacher took his 3-year sabbatical) (and no, he didn't know why the yellow flags were there, he didn't notice that he parked the car in the wrong grid spot.
And yeah, whatever he had at the end was just the killing blow. Which is a shame, as he had better pace than his teammate.
At the end? Narain Karthikeyan I think (driving for HRT, the worst team.)
Ah. I have no clue. You could do Ichiro Suzuki I suppose if you want something.

Oh, the Speed commentators knew nothing about it. They thought it was the lights not working right, not him lining up wrong.
Hah. I don't think Brundle noticed anything either - the only people that did notice it were those that were specifically listening to the pit radio channel at the start of the race (that one has no commentary and, afaik, no video feed either, but it catches most of the engineer-driver conversations).
I'm sorry Shaed. This is the best I can do.
