Kubica's replacement... (It's Heidfeld!)

heidfield will be a total bust! Petrov will be eating caviar when he passes him every race. But look at it this way MS will have someone to play bridge with

Yeah right!

Petrov beating Heidfeld? Not likely. We will see in a very short time anyway, so I'll bookmark this quote.

Passes him? So you're saying that Heidfeld will out qualify Petrov at every race?

You stated that Vitaly relied on Robert's set-up and I pointed out that according to both drivers, Robert does not help Petrov much at all.

And please point out where I said that VP was better than RK? The most I said was that Petrov was doing "remarkably well." How you extrapolated that Vitaly was superior is your own doing.

Heidfeld is a solid guy behind the wheel , but he doesn't inspire the team to get behind him .
He'll finish just about every race , and that's good , but he's better as the number two , grabbing those points when the fast guy goes off .

He's got a few second places , and a lot of experience , but doesn't inspire the fans either .

Quick Nick won't bring in big sponsorship .


The only guy that could inspire the team , and the fans , and the big sponsors is Jacques .

Like the cowboy says , this should be a no-brainer .

^I'm sure JV's P24 on the grid at every race would do a lot to inspire the team.

I am not going back in the post to find what you had posted early. Glad to see we are on the same page.

I'd be interested in an explanation as to what the bolded part means though????
Were you suggesting he showed skill in defending his position or do you think that wasn't an indication of talent in any form?

I think that race was do of die for him. I think that night Renault gave him a car that in real god conditions. The track was nice and dry and Ferrari were not in touch with the reality of the race and that's how barely he kept his seat.

I think Petrov is a skilled driver but so is everyone in F1. The question is, does he have that extra skill that makes a difference between a skilled driver and a world champion. And I think it's way too early to say and that's why I don't agree with who speaks so highly about him in here. I mean the guy is no Hamilton.
