but they wanted to boot him out of the season altogether because of all the info that was gleaned from the other teams and passed onto him via alonso
as soon as that stream of information dried up, there was a marked downturn in his "abilities" to get round the track

put him into a super aguri or force india car to find out what he would have ended up positionwise last year and then come and make the "he's the best driver out there" comments

i'm not doubting that he is fantasticly talented, because he obviously is, but he is lacking in the one thing that makes other drivers great, and that's the talent to make a shit car look good

look at all those drivers who were in with a shout at winning the title when they were with ferarri and maclaren from previous years and see how far they have fallen when put into an "also rans there to make up the numbers" team, rubens and coulthard as examples

ok, so who did his old man bin the car then? i can't find any sort of explanation as to what happened other than he got stuck trying to reverse it out of the playground
