Who's the best starter in the field??

Jos said after the race:"funny how all the other drivers always seem to choose the wrong side of the track at the start"

And MF: Jos rarely makes those excursions anymore, when it does usualy something is wrong with the car(like the brakes in spain or the flat tyre in qualifying in austria, Jos also had a broken rear suspension in free practice)

JV and Ralf Schumacher... Did you see Irv the swerve...what a start at Austria!

[Gt_R]

Irv the swerve...the way he swerve and start was... brilliant...Rarely you see Eddie on such great inspired form...

Whoever has the best launch-control, vision & lightest fuel-load. Oh and enough 'brain-fade' drivers ahead as the lights go out.

Yes I think the williams cars are the besr starters, maybr it is the device, but they are both great drivers. Besides them I think JV knows when to launch his car too.

[Ed G]

And this years worst starter.... the envelope please... Mika Hakkinen.

With regards to Verstappen... Don't forget the guy was running with way less fuel in the car so he had better be able to pass people on the start.

Last year... Jacques was the best starter of the top 10. Always seemed to gain 3-4 places. Then hold up the field behind him.

With the intro of Launch control... I think that Jaguar (though I hate to admit it) have been the class of the field.

Also when discussing starts I think there should be some honorable mention given to Fischicella for making last seasons WDC interesting by punting off a certain sourkraut.
