He is also driving a Ferrari in the French GT series but I can't find
any results. If you are given a great car you still have to drive it. He did !!!!Obama to Biden - "Let the Welfare checks rain upon the Earth - I am going to a barbecue"

Very cool interview between JV and Damon Hill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUU8...e_gdata_player
Lol come off it Dj Byte. As someone said, you're displaying the same qualities you claim JV to have.I am anaspeptic, pharismotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.

With JV it is important to separate the personality, fair game for criticism, from his actual driving record, much harder to disparage. He won races in too many series, Atlantic, CART, F1 for it to be simply the best car. He came within a whisker of equaling G. Baghetti's feat of winner first time out. He still shares some rookie records with L Hamilton.
The whole idea is for drivers to get themselves into the beast equipment, even JMF and Mario Andretti worked on this ( I am not for a minute suggesting JV is in that class, just pointing out the obvious).
As a one time WC it is not fair to suggest it was all due to a vastly superior car. The same could be said for others, Denny Hulme comes to mind, but seldom is.
He is certainly competitive in NASCAR Nationwide and has led many laps at the Montreal circuit; the last time I watched he was unceremoniously punted off the track on the last restart. These things happen in NASCAR, but Roger Penske would be unlikely to hire him for the ride were he not sure of his abilities.
So take whatever he said with a grain of salt, or ignore it completely.

If somebody other than Max can win this one, then maybe we have title fight on our hands.
