Post GP of Imola discussion

I have always liked JPM, thought of him being a little erractical from time to time, but he has shown real speed as his F1 career progresses through the years, I figure that when he does finally learn how to use his head a little more, his ability will carry him to a WDC (Perhaps his IQ had dropped by 20 points since "Camara-Gate"). After watching the post-race interview and seeing how his attitude has regressed through the years, I have to admit that I am starting to wish that he will never win the WDC. Just to think I was hoping that he would goto Ferrari instead of McLaren when his Williams contract ends, what the hell was I thinking !? Unless he finally grows up, at this point in time, I feel that he simply lacks the intellegence, attitude and class to be a WDC.

Anyway, he was crying about how MS driving into him and forced him onto the grass, and he is hoping that FIA will look into this incident....etc. Someone at the post-race conference should just hand him a bottle to suck on as he went on about it. When I watched the replay of the start again, what I saw was JPM turning into MS at the start of the schane and appears that he was the one trying to bullying or forcing his way through in the typical start of the race, cold-tyres, low grip and even less brain JPM fashion. And with it being Imola and the schcane is tight as it can be as is, there is no way the two of them can come out the corner together. With MS in the lead, and being MS, who would not and should not be intimated by JPM, MS took the proper racing line and even left JPM some room to go through, unlike what he did to RS. RS was all the way on the grass!! Anyway, I feel that the exchange was nothing more than proper racing, even if a crash had occured and took both of them out, it would have been nothing more than a racing incident at the most. I sincerely hope that KR make JPM his bi*ch next year at McLaren, and send JPM to Minardi or Jordan or even back to CART the following year. Anyhow, thanks for the opportunity to vent and show my disappointment with JPM. Any thoughts on this, my fellow members?

 

I think both JV and JPM have no true sense of what winning F1 WDC is really all about. Both of them went to F1 as the darling little champion of CART, and have been extremly lucky to start their F1 career with a well established front runner such as Williams. JV was perhaps a little too optimistic in thinking that he could be like MS and tried to creat a team around himself. The difference was that BAR was a brand new team and Ferrari was already a well established team ( An real understament here) in transition. As for JPM, he is simply too lucky for his own good. It was interesting to see JB and JPM sitting on the side of MS. You can clearly see how different the two of them are. I am beginning to think and agree with JB himself that he was in some ways lucky that Williams had decided to let him go after his first season. As he went through the pain of not having the best equipments and team around him. Ironically, I do believe that JPM was brought into F1 and replaced JB at Williams. I am starting to believe to be a true WDC, one needs to start with a humble beginning (As most of the multi-time winners). That it maybe the only way they learn how to be a true world class champion. At this point, I for one would be happy to see MW, FA, JB or KR (I think he is just really frustrated right now, it is still not an excuse for him for what he did at the Malaysian GP, but I can somewhat see how he feels.) as future F1 Champions, and hopefully they will achieve that with Ferrari when MS does eventually retire from F1.

PS: I never knew that MS was so close to JMF's points/race record, and I would have never thought that anyone could have ever surpass the great JMF's driving record as I have always consider him to be the greatest of all time, not only from the driver's POV, but it is to my understanding that he was a true class act. Wish I had the chance to see him race as he was way before my time.
