Right, no But bash. I like Button and hope the Honda gives him a decent platform to perform. I like JV and wished him success in F1. I've always hoped that US open wheel racing would provide an alternative to the European junior series and feed into F1. But, M. Andretti, Zanardi, Villeneuve, Montoya have had a very mixed result. Saint, you made a good comment about personality yesterday. I think JV is interesting, but sometimes annoying. But, I always read his comments and sometimes wish that other drivers would annoy me with theirs. |

Let's just hope this thread about Jackie Boy doesn't turn in a Schu bash. |

It's ok, I'm just trying to get a bit of balance in here. I don't disagree with anything you say re. Kubica, but this was simply Jacques answering questions honestly. I don't think he's said anything particularly controversial. In fact I disagree with his contention that Massa will come out on top at Ferrari, but I understand his reasons for thinking that. And no, 'ok' probably wasn't good enough considering his 'former world champion' tag, so his current predicament is of his own making. But that doesn't disqualify him from voicing his opinion, after all he's raced against all these people so his opinions are surely more valid than ours. With regard to Hakkinen, although that's going off at a tangent, I have a few reasons: 1) He is revered for outqualifying Senna at the first attempt in 1993, but both de Angelis and Berger did likewise, and they're not rated in the same bracket. In the remaining time they spent as team-mates, Senna was streets ahead. 2) His first two GP wins were gifted to him by Coulthard, and prior to '98 there wasn't much between DC and Mika, and I don't rate DC. 3) You couldn't separate Hakkinen and Herbert with a cigarette paper at Lotus, but where's Johnny when all the 'greats' are mentioned. 4) He struggled to beat Irvine in '99, and made loads of errors. Its clear that he wouldn't have held a candle to Schumacher in the second half of the year. If anything, the star drivers of '99 were Frentzen and Ralf Schumacher (!) 5) Williams had the option to sign him for '93, but chose Damon Hill. Why would they do that? Hakkinen was a good, quick driver who got lucky. Same as Damon, Jacques etc. I simply don't rate him on a par with the likes of Schumacher, Senna or Prost. |

Yes, platitudinous: "A trite or banal remark, especially as if it's original or significant" Thanks for the edit. I must slow down. |
