So Jenson's wet performances In hungary '06, where he won, and Japan & China last season in that dog of a car weren't the kind of performance Scumi and Senna would've been proud of????

Explain your side of the argument then????

I agree, neither Hill or JV have produced anything like as good as Grace Kelly

Mika

Best perhaps for another thread chaps

Jenson is a good, smooth racer. He's even quite fast on his day.

What he ISN'T is superhuman, and that's exactly what Senna and Schumi performed like.

Jenson also goes missing from time to time, be that the car, or the driver, sometimes he's just not there, and doesn't often manage to drag a good finish from a bad day, which is another mark of a real legend.

I can name numerous drivers who were good from time to time, drivers who managed to put in half a dozen amazing performances across a period of a few years, but that doesn't make them championship material, I'd put Jenson firmly in that catagory.

The newspaper also claims that the BBC is planning on letting Hammond, along with co-stars Jeremy Clarkson and James May, loose at Grand Prix weekends in an attempt to extend the audience beyond "petrolheads".

So maybe the F1 coverage will be called "Welcome to Bernie's "

I foresee a lot of attention paid to the brollie girls

Mosely to step down in 2009

I hope not, they keep mocking about it

Given Mosley will step down next year, I think they'll let him stay on.
