Not a good day for Button.
BAR turns out good but the most shocking of all....

What Wurz 's been doing all this season?!

[JeremySmith]

Michael Schumacher is as smooth as it get's...Fantasic realy..What a great result from A Wurtz!

[downforce]

Qualification Demolition!!!

"Mika is better over a lap"????????...thats 9 pole positions in 2000!!

Schumacher, as Simple as Sepang!!!

[Gt_R]

i think MS has an advantage in Qualifyings (wet/dry), in/out laps during a race, as well as in conditions less than perfect, over Mika. Otherwise, i believe both these 2 lovely guys are rather equal otherwise in all situations.

[Airhead]

Wurz,

An excellent result, but with the same team and same car as all season. Why when the future looks grim do the results arrive. Too little too late

[neutral]

Mika is quick, but I dont think even the most adamant Mclaren fan can claim that he is faster than shui after what they have witnessed this season.

The driver is only one tiny bit of the equation .....

Yes, and with Fisichella out of favour with Flavio, and Wurz being signed as test driver for McLaren next year (real moral booster after what he's been going through), those two factors are very important IMO in the turnaround of fortunes for the two Benetton drivers. (Wurz is probably getting the preferential treatment now, if any, from the Benetton team.)

Realy...Well the next time you are traveling at 195MPH..remember the car just drives itself

Schumacher's the best qualifier of the year, his average postion is 2.0, compared to Hakinnen's 2.53. And also he's got more poles this year than the rest of the grid put together! He may not be a Senna in qualifying, but he's the class of the current field.
