Is Ide deserved to be in F1?

He cause the retirement of Christijan Albers in San Marino, nearly hurting Albers and in my opinion he does not deserved the seat in F1.

That was just common racing incident. Ide lacks experience but much more experienced drivers have caused much greater incidents so I find that people have just waited for a reason to come all over Ide. If rackelss driver gets in F1 than FIA superlicencing procedure should be blamed.

i dont think its fair to say he doesnt deserve a to be in f1. his arrival to f1 is like trowing someone into the deep end of the pool!! he was not given enough time to test and get use to the car. he was suppose to test in barcelona but due to technical difficulties he din drive. super aguri is reported to line up another japanese driver and i think they will end up with the same results as ide. a rookie who is creating havoc in the track. I know they want to have a all japanese line-up but they need to give these drivers the right amount of testing under their belt so they race competitively.
I FEEL >> give him some testing and after that give him 2 races..

He has not been performing very well, because he is not used to a F1 car. I expect him to get his championship points in somewhere between Hockenheim to Istanbul, he car is fitted with the best engine - Honda.

Taku is trying to get that SA105 up to speed while Yuji needs to be used to a F1 car, Yuji is the slowest driver Qualifying and starts from 22nd is each race. I expect him to be up a bit on the grid when Super Aguri launches their new car after Silverstone.

i don't think he'll take the new SA06, he doesn't know anything about f1

no he doesn't deserve to be in F1, but the only reason he is there is keep the Japanese sponsors happy.

I think that he should be moved down to 3rd placed drive and let Frank Montagnay take the driving role, that then might also kick Sato out of F1.

.
That depends on Aguri Suzuki's choice, he selected Sato so I don't think he'll sack Sato. Yuji maybe loose his seat to Montagnay. But that depends on Aguri Suzuki's choices whether he wants to sacked anyone.

Taku deserved the seat, while Yuji must get himself into buiness and established himself as a racer and not a accident creator.

Albers rolled 5 times not because Ide hit him very hard but because his car already lost balance by high kerb it was on in the moment when Ide nailed him. Of course without nailing Albers wouldn’t have any problems but to someone it might appear that Ide’s impact was much stronger than it actually was.

I really have no sympathy for Ide'd driving but no driver can enter F1 without approval of FIA so if he messes up blame those who gave him superlicence. Up till now he isn't any worse than Ralf.

I think that accident with Albers shows how inexperienced Ide is. There was no reason for Ide to challenge for the first corner the way he did. He hasn't been competitive, so there was no chance for him to pass anybody, so he really should've backed off and let Albers through. Instead, he acted like he was way faster than he really was and made a really dumb mistake. What was Ide thinking? He acts irresponsibly, and makes more than rookie mistakes. He makes mistakes that really question his overall driving ability. I definitely don't think he should be in F1.

Couldn't agree more. You can't set down a criteria for being eligible for F1 (certain number of races and wins in lower formulae etc.) then someone who fulfills these criteria gets through and isn't very good critisize them for it. One could argue that it is the same with Paul Dana in the IRL who fulfilled all of their criteria but arguably died on the track because of inexperience.

Ide's Super License is gonna be stripped off according to Sir Stirlling Moss.
