To me is bizarre to ridicule every reason for Luca's misfortune and to excuse everything little he achieved. This is open malice, not concern from a fan to his favorite team.Quote:

still, he should have got that somewhere close even then, and he was still shocking, but it could account for a couple of tenths of the gap, the rest i'll put down to pure lack of ability
What are you talking about? He achieved nothing!Quote:

Kers is used 6.6 seconds a lap and on a track with very long straights it can account for 0.2 - 0.3 seconds.Quote:

One may laugh at Badoer now, but yes, we really should NOT diminish his past accomplishments (like doubting his testing skills, etc).
About being race driver, Badoer was in F1 in the 90's for several seasons and he wasn't exactly a useless driver back then - he was driving very uncompetitive machineries and actually did a respectable job in them, putting in some nice drives. What we can say about current situation, is that Luca is probably well past his prime now. But it doesn't mean he was that hopeless throughout his career.
What can be diminished in getting NO points in 48 races?!Quote:

There isn't enough feck-you attitude in Maranello nowadays.
