That's how you think, I can't help you. The discuss anything with you which is not strictly technical is pointless. Bye!

So, once again, when did Badoer last time drive a F1 car around Monza?

PS: The only tracks he might do significantly better than he did last week are Mugello and Fiorano because he drove those tracks hundreds of times more than any other driver, but even there the actual crop of f1 drivers would be beating him after a couple FP sessions.

ioan, on this occasion I'm with you 100 per cent. How much does 'local knowledge' really influence any F1 driver's performance on a circuit these days? I'd say not a lot.

I was re-reading an article the other day which included Eddie Jordan's predictions for this season. Now, he may have many detractors, but he still knows more about F1 than you or I. However, all of his predictions were absolute bo11ocks - worth no more than yours or mine. So the words of people who are undoubtedly experts of one form or another are not necessarily worth much.

Thanks! It's good to see we still agree every now and then, especially on the obvious aspects of the sport. :)

:wave:

Apparently Badoer also managed to crash into Sutil's Force India in Parc ferme after the race! :laugh:
His week end was worse as Yuji Ide's average ones, I wonder how long before the FIA decide to revoke his superlicense in order to make our lives easier! :rotflmao:

I trust James Allen. I follow his articles and his predictions usually come true.

James has good articles because he is in the paddock and can get general info from the source, but when it comes to 2+2 he usually messes it up and makes it 5.

Haven't noticed IMO. He fails to predict what will happen when there is a big shift in the team order, like McLaren in Hungary, but then few can predict these things anyway.

Yes, his blog is certainly worth a read.

I predicted Badoer to finish the race in 11th.

Get him out of the F***ing car.
