Time to move on and look out for the next driver.
Then there are these bloody drivers that stay and stay and stay, no better than they ever were before and unlikely to improve. There was a good editorial in the Autosport to that effect a couple of weeks ago.
Such a pity we no longer have the authoritative, lucid and caustic view of the late and much missed James Hunt.
He used to take drivers apart that would blame the car for their inadequacies - for example Arnoux when he blamed the handling characteristics of the Ligier turbo - James declared that it was bollocks and if Arnoux was having difficulties he should get out and give another driver a chance.
James you were always the spririt of the party and we love you!!!
As James said, it is always the bores that stay at the party until the very end - and I can think of no more boring people than Barrichello [groan], Trulli [is he actually alive?] and of course Fisichella [whats wrong THIS time Giancarlo!!].
So people, suck up your sentimentality and get with the goddamn program!
