He cant call anyone useless because he has never driven in f1, he just takes credit for drivers victories. But i doubt someone like Ron would say something so stupid |

Well, judging by the current red lineup, I would think that Ferrari have decided to hire from the 50% "useless" category. An alcoholic, workshy Finn, and a latent homosexual Brazilian, who can only perform on dry days where he starts from the front of the grid. Maybe the problem with Ferrari at the moment is more to do with the loss of their HR guy who took over as technical director, rather than the loss of their technical director.

Well he does have a point. Some of the drivers will never be good enough to win races, no matter what car they are in. Yamamoto, Davidson, Sato, Speed, Liuzzi to name a few. |

It depends what you mean by useless. Fifty per cent of the drivers on the grid at any given time will probably never win a Grand Prix, but some of that will be down to equipment rather than talent. Remember that each of our F1 drivers has won competitions in the lower formulae, but as we have seen too many times, that does not necessarily translate into form in F1. F1 is a totally different kettle of fish to anything that any of these drivers will have experienced before, so it's only natural that many of them will struggle. But as for whether that means they're "useless" - well, that's something different entirely. |

I'm not convinced he actually said that, doesn't seem a very 'Ron' comment... |
