2007 Turkish GP thread

I think part of it was Rubens sucking a bit, too, though, as he is prone to do at times.

[Bononi]

Button being 2 seconds faster or Rubens being 2 seconds slower ?

[Dutton]

I guess the best way to illustrate my point, if we are talking in terms of a 2-sec gap, then I would attribute 1-second to Jenson being good and 1-second to Rubens being crap.

Button made Honda look good (well, better), whereas Rubens made them look bad (well, worse).

[Bononi]

I thought it was being the contrary all the season... Rubens is doing a better job.

[Dutton]

I think it has ebbed and flowed with them.

If was a team owner and had the choice of one of those two (and no other options), then I would pick Jenson.

I've always had Jenson down has being better than Massa but not as good as Raikkonen........hmmmm,go figure!

Rubens had done a better job the majority of the year. However, of late, we seem to be slipping into situation 2006 again.

[Bononi]

By Honda standards, nothing really surprising.

As the car gets better so does Jenson.What Honda need is a brilliant car in Oz and then all their problems will be over. Rubens 'don't make me laugh' Barrichello won't know which way JB went.

[maximus]

We only need to look at France this season to see what Jenson could do when the car is decent enough, but Rubens has led the way when the car is bad, albeit by a small margin.

[Bononi]

And all this because he is with the team a long time.

To give you an idea, both me ad my Dad cheered loaudly when Hamilton's tyre blew, because we thought he was out of it. I'm not doubting his talent as a driver, but for a 22 year old in his first season, or anyone else for that matter, ITV's over-emphasis of him reeks of overkill. I'm all for patriotism but come on.

i was a neutral about him at the start of the season...then itv started all this "hamiltons brilliant starts" rubbish. in oz it was skill, malaysia it was fluke because raikenon left the door open, then i got bored of him and his arrogance

[Knowlesy]

Hmmm..

Yes he is such a fluke that lad, anyone could do it.

[Dutton]

I have to say I am loving the fact we have such a megastar on our hands.
