Luckily for JPM, Williams has managed to destroy two of the last three races
for RS in the pits, allowing JPM to catch up.

It wasn't close be*** RS and JPM last year, and while it is closer this
year, it still is obvious that the JPM hype is all hot air, or else RS is
his equal. One or the other.

BTW, RS has four times as many wins as JPM as teammates.

Actually in THAT race 1&2 get to participate in the next"No Bull
Million"
Which means at the next race with A No Bull partnership if a driver
that is in the program wins the race then he (and a FAN) wins 1MILLION
each.
So points wise not a big deal but the extra Million is nice and on a
SS track thats the team everyone is looking at

Come on Dave, I'm no JPM flag waving nutter, but you're telling me JPM
hasn't had his own share of bad luck to equal that of Ralph?

We'll leave it to the history books and the facts to say who was the better
driver. I'm betting the history books will show JPM outshadowing RS in
every regard (they already do for this year- have you looked at the site I
posted?). That's not fact, just an opinion based on their current
situation.

If we plot the drivers' relative performances on a year by year chart, we
should see the trend showing JPM as enormously superior to RS next year-
that's assuming we use your (IMO spurious) logic to say that JPM can only
stand on his previous year results, when he is clearly, currently, the
better of the two Williams drivers this year. Seven races left to go for
Ralph to score more points. I doubt that will happen, myself.

cheers ;o)

already, but not more than JPM will :o)

UK Daily Mirror christened him the Anna Kournikova of F1 on
Saturday in their betting column. Hype not matched by victories (all of 1).
A
foolish bet they said. They said he's the bookies
best friend in F1.

I don't agree that he's the AK of F1, but my point has always been that he's
overhyped. I'm more impressed by KR, JB, and even FM. In better cars, each
one of those three would be doing just a swell as JPM or better IMO.

Hehe...

Kimi I'll agree with on potential talent. Jenson seems to be in too much of a
slump, and I don't know enough about Felippe...
But I don't think the McLaren is that much slower than the Williams, maybe even
equal. McLaren just forgot how to do race strategy... :-(
