His last comment was that "the team is concentrating more on Ralf than on me". This idiot has excuses over excuses. Just as Villeneuve. Shut up and drive. He can't do it (see results), neither can Villeneuve (see results).
I just cannot wait to see what he has to say once he starts at McLaren and is getting spanked by Kimi
Why on earth would they favor Ralph? They are both leaving next year - what motivation would Williams have to screw with his car? It's their best bet to give both of them the best possible car and get the most points they can.
How can you have any respect for the guy? did anyone see the video of the incident where HE walked into a cameraman, then turned round and started F'ing at the cameraman, as if it was his fault. That's when I lost ALL respect for him. Ignorant, arrogant and always blaming someone else.
He is still fast. 5th place in arguable the 4th-5th car manufacturer is not bad (Ferrari/McLaren/BAR are easily faster than Williams).
He will so utterly get destroyed by the Dark Lord Raikkoenen, it will be a blast to see him cringe, hehe. After Shanghai I have to also say, that Villeneuve looks very much like a has-been. I thought trading Fisico for him was an upgrade, but I'm not so sure about that anymore.
I met Montoya in 94 when he raced 2-3 rounds of Formula 3 Nissan in Mexico as I was trying to land a drive in this series. Back then he was a total idiot but still drove superbly. Later I had the displeasure seeing him again at Indianapolis 3 years ago. If you think hes arrogant, hes even worse when he speaks Spanish. All bad names apply to the guy.
It's gonna be so fun to see Kimi and JPM in the same team together... Are we gonna see some fist-fights??? I think they will take each other out in races all the time.
LMFAO!!! I was cracking up at post-race press conference. Kimi answered the question in one run-on sentence of 400 words, without taking a breath, and monotone! I really like this guy! "Juan, I AM your father!" or will it be "Juan, who's your daddy?" Har! Yes, we will see discipline (Kimi) and lack thereof (Whinny P.) Anyone willing to anti-up on predicting what race next year poor Juan will lose it and accuse the team of giving Kimi preferential treatment? I'm going with the 4th race - anyone else? And give JV a break! The only sector he was losing time was the straights, and that has about 0 driver input (unless you want to blame him for setup). I still think we will see good things from him.

JPM will start complaining in January against preferrential treatment... JPM is a fool, but he is darn fast and has gobs of car control. Kimi is cool, intelligent, darn fast and has gobs of car control. Guess who wins that battle? As we could hear on the team radio, JV lost time on the first sector, which actually has the corkscrew etc in it. Lots of driver input in that one. The third sector has the straights, but he didn't loose the time there AFAIK.
I agree that JPM will start complaining before the first race. Granted he can be quick at times, as on a qualifing lap, but doesn't have the consistency over the course of a race. It will be fun to watch Kimi put him in his place. Funny how that even Williams say he is not very good at setting up the car and thats why they wanted Ralpf back so badly.
JPM will start being a baby after the 1st race. As for Vill, i think its over for him as well, as well as JPM. Good things to come from Ralf and Jarno in Toyota....I think they will be the most improved team next year. BAR i think will go the other way.
