I believe that's not quite finished. that's the gist of what I got from the TopGear magazine article on the car.
Also found out if the flywheel wasn't in a vacuum, it'd create a sonic boom when recovering energy because of the speed it rotates. All I can say is holy macaroni.

Yeah I highly doubt they were going full speed there.

Just goes to show the durability of the flywheel.

The man who finished 25 consecutive races from his F1 debut - which is a record - isn't consistent?
Then there's the fact that you're largely basing your judgement on his two seasons driving in the worst car in F1. As Kazuki Nakajima, Gianamaria Brunni and especially Marc Gene have proven, it's quite easy to have had a fruitless F1 career in sub-standard cars which then develops into a highly successful WEC one because they have the equipment to prove themselves.
You also need to bear in mind that he's only 23. That may seem old at a time when 17-year-olds break into Formula 1, but he still has plenty of time to develop his ability.
For those reasons I'm quite sure he has the potential to do well, and Nissan seem to have the same opinion.

Except its supposed to compete in a championship and not just that race. we don't even know what kind of lap times it was turning in comparison and how many times does have to be said that this is the first season, its not guaranteed to be quick right off the bat.

Theyve been testing for months now. If they have trouble still, then they're going to be cutting it close. The season starts in about 6 weeks. Theyre only sending one car to the Prologue, which is the same car they had to abandon testing with at Sebring. I hope theyre succesful, but to be honest, their program isn't looking so bright. Anyway, racer.com put this up

Hasn't it been suspected that the car was built with only Le Mans in mind?
