Its only his first season at the front of F1, but he looks at home. He looks all round more comfortable than Mark Webber did at the front.
Which reveals how ENORMOUS is the difference between a top team and a midfield one.Not only the car itself but also the engineering work, the ability to create a complete setup on Friday and the resource to quickly calculate sudden changes of variables during a race. I confess I saw nothing in him before going to RBR, he seemed even slower than Vergne and I thought they take him just because his Australia is a huge market for the drink. Now I wonder what would have happened if Hulk was taken in one of the top teams.
