    Overhyped, over-heated. Who is Ron talking about?

    from Ron Dennis at lunch monday.

    "a couple of the young drivers in Formula One are overhyped, over-heated and overblown. And, what's worse, they are starting to believe their own press, to their detriment."

    who do you reckon he was talking about?

    Well, one of them's almost bound to be Kimi

    Just to clarify, he did call Ron a control freak

    the word "young" was the key one...

    could only be one of the following:

    1. Rosberg
    2. Kubica
    3. Vittel
    4. Heikki
    5. anybody from red bull 2/spyker/

    it could not be:

    1. anyone from Ferrari (including its two testers)
    2. anyone from McLaren (he's not slagging his own)
    3. anyone from toyota
    4. anyone from honda
    5. anyone from red bull 1
    6. anyone austrian from Williams...

    Well, he may not be old, but in F1 terms, he isn't young either. He'll be 28 this year.

    I'd say Hekki. Briatore thinks he is the Anti-Alonso. Considering Ron now has Fernando in his pocket, I'd say that is who he is referring to.
