I think so, based on comparing his actual record as a driver with the stupidly under-rated DC (who's success has been badly affected by sharing career dates with Schumi and Mika H IMO).

Yes!

Never rated him as a top flight GP driver, just another midfield runner. I also agree that DC has unfortunately always been a number 2 driver at both williams and maclaren and never really got the chance to show his true potential in a top team.

Very much so.

DC is an awesome driver he just needs a good reliable car.

JB isn't bad but he loses sight too easily when he's not up the front.

Yes.

McLarens's new kid will show him up this season, I expect.

Who?

He has usually been the faster man in any team he

I like JB, I think that he has trouble focussing when things aren't going his way but he has turned in some inspirational drives - if only he was put in a competitive car!

Really looking forward to seeing what Hamilton can do when mixing it with the big boys this season.

Every driver starts somewhere. And they move up when they do well... He's not moved up, because he cannot prove himself.

I can count all the victories hes had, on one finger.

Look at Mansell. He was nearly an old man before he won the world title and didn

i think JB is right up there pace wise he's just not consistent enough to ever threaten the alonso's of this world. i disagree with the comments about DC. he has been overshadowed by hakkinen and raikkonen and its only since he has been at red bull that he really has done away with his team mate. will be very interesting to see how he measures up against webber this year.

looking forward to this season, really hope that hamilton does the biz and that massa makes kimi look like a fool!!

cheers!

I like JB too...think he's a fast driver, and a good racer, but as Stu said, I think he looses his motivation if his car isn't running at the front... this lets him down... DC doesn't get quite so down if his car isn't fast... watch the redbull when a few races have gone by, and they can 'tune' some speed from it, it may yet be a suprise...

And I would love hamilton to show up alonso

I am SO looking forward to this season.... just think they should have gone for the 'half' rear spoiler sooner, in a go at improving overtaking...

*sharkrider votes for less downforce/more mechanical grip!!
