Liuzzi vs Speed

**johnny shell** · 20th June 2007, 14:01

I generally read where peeps tend to give the nod to Liuzzi over Speed.

It's hard for me to follow F1 from here since it's not on regular TV or ever regular cable, but from what I can tell from the stats they seem to be pretty evenly matched.

what's up?

I would agree that they are evenly matched, they both consitantly crash and fail to finish races.. If I were Gerhard Berger I would replace both of them!!!

Speed IMO has done a better job than Liuzzi this year, but as far as overall performances go, they've both been pretty anonymous.

IMO Speed's strength is making the most of the starts, but his weakness is patience. He seems to try so hard to do well(to save his job?) IMO he overdrives himself and the car.

Liuzzi i think is a little more consistent and calmer but, he seems to be less "visible" so I really don't know where he lies in terms of outright speed. This could be because I get the "SPEED" coverage here in the USA and they concentrate more on... umm... Speed.

I think they both wreck because they're pushing pushing pushing... finding the limits of themselves & their cars. tyring new things. thinking outside the box.

don't a lot of fast young drivers start off that way?

Liuzzi may be a bit more consistent, but consistently less agggressive and consequently a bit slower. Speed is more aggressive and usually a faster driver. He has a bit more upside than Liuzzi and would do well in a better car. Liuzzi to me is like a career servicable driver, while Speed looks more like a kimi in terms of whipping a car around the track.

Let's see them with the seamless gearbox now. Hopefully it should brighten both their fortunes.

I'd say their about equally weak.

**stevie_gerrard** · 20th June 2007, 21:02

there are equally matched, but i prefer liuzzi to speed, he seems to be the less erratic.

IMO
Liuzzi is the faster but more erratic and inconsistent.
Speed is way slower plods along picking up place due to failure or mistake by others, Is no means a racer.
Neither have impressed greatly this year. but Liuzzi has out shone Speed in the same car.
