    Doesn't look like that to me in races (1) and (4).

    He's good, I'll grant you, but I think he's less good under pressure than say Button, Hamilton, Alonso and several others
    Race 1 his car failed him.

      Listen, just don't let the facts get in the way of a good argument, ok ?

        Watch him in qualifiers. The number of times he comes up with an amazing lap right at the end after everyone else thinks it's over...

          Perhaps F1 should cart around a mobile rain machine to cause chaos. Its the only way these races are interesting.

            Yes I agree, but when it comes to stringing 50-60 amazing laps together, one after the other, he's not so clever.

              He did pretty well last year as soon as everyone caught Brawn up on the car.

                I remember a go-kart track in Rhodes where they employed a guy to stand on the fastest corner with a hose, that coupled with 5 pints of pre-race Mythos certainly made things more interesting.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  I remember one in Latvia where the track owners dog strolled out on to the main straight and had a crap. While we were racing.
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                    I think Vettel still suffers from the red mists descending sometimes. That also applies to Lewis Hamilton - although his better skill lets him get away with it more often. They will both take big risks, which sometimes don't pay off.
                    Jenson Button plays the percentage game and won't take any unnecessary risks, so I would say his judgement is much better.
                    It will be very interesting when we get to Spain. McLaren should have some upgrades but Red Bull will be faster. It remains to be seen whether the Red Bull engines hold up.

                      The new rules reward 'conservative' driving, which Jensen is very good at.

                      Lewis however, is a hell-for-leather racer who overtakes half the field, but eats his tyres for breakfast.

                      Does that make one a better racing driver - that's a matter of opinion - and it certainly isn't Jensen's fault that the FIA changed the rules to suit his style.

                      But I'd rather have a grid full of Hamilton/Vettel types. Dangerous as it was - their tussle down the pit lane just showed what racers the pair of them are.
