'I am Taki Inoue - AMA!'

Hey, in your opinion, why are Japanese drivers so under marketed in F1? Is it the language barrier or something else?

Very simple! Japanese mentality doesn't work for F1 driving.

Tonight I need to drink a little bit more. So I will answer your questions tomorrow. Have a nice evening. Ciao!!

• who, besides yourself, was the funniest driver in the paddack?

• Did/do you know Michael Schumacher personally? How was he?

• Any regrets about your F1 career?

The funniest driver in the paddock? Well......All drivers are very boring. I don't know Michael personally. I believe you know more than I do. I regret whole my F1 career.

Taki! You're one of my favorite people to follow on Twitter, you're hilarious.

Keep the fire extinguisher ready to go!

Don't worry. Leave it to me mate!

Who would you say is the best driver on the current F1 grid?

Easy to say. KIMI.

How's the leg?

My leg is still like a dog leg.

Hi Taki, A few questions if you will allow,

1) Are you going to Goodwood Revival this year?

2) What is your favourite car/era/driver?

3) What do you do with your time now?

Thank You!

I don't think they invite me to Good wood. But it's a dream. My favorite car is Ferrari and Kimi. My time is now very miserable indeed! But much better than 1995.

What was your favourite and least favourite track you raced at in f1? Did it hurt when you got ran over?

My favorite track was Spa. Of course very painful indeed. But I got a only bruise. Hehehe

Do you play any racing sims? And if so, which ones?

What is sims??

How was your first lap in a F1 Car? did you expected that kind of power/acceleration ect.?

Well...I can't remember exactly. Let me think. I guess my first F1 driver was at Barcelona. The Simtek car was on their back to UK after the European GP at Jerez. They stopped and gave me around 30 laps. I couldn't use the tyre properly and carbon brake made me slow down too much. But I didn't use any fire extinguisher.

Are you praying for a Japanese driver to get a seat next year? Someone like Kobayashi or Kimiya Sato.

Of course. I really praying for that. But whatever I pray, it means nothing. Money talks a lot in F1.
