Somewhere in amongst all those exclamation and question marks, you mention the statistic that Coulthard has won 13 races in 15 years. I'd like to know when you reckon he entered F1...

I would never claim that he's the greatest driver in the world, but he's certainly an extremely solid one who can (still) get a lot out of a car.

Hamilton has been my surprise of the season so far as well. Coulthard has impressed of late, but this isn't really unexpected to me as I've always maintained that he still has it in him. I suppose that Sato has also been doing surprisingly well — I never thought all those people who barracked the Honda boss at the Tokyo Motor Show would turn out to have a point...

beg your pardon!!.....yes....13 years hes been in f1......still pretty dismal statistics compared to tricky tho dont ya think??.....oh well.....if some idiot is gonna pay him to drive , thats their business,...... :) ......

Kovalainen - I expected that he can become a very good driver, but it is clear that he is nothing special
Sutil - A very very talented driver, bright future ahead of him.
Fisi - some life in the old crybaby still, has shown he is capable of driving well when there isnt pressure to win on him.
