I hear he fell out with Flavio, but how did that impact on his form (before being dropped)? Did he just let his head drop or was he hampered on strategy, or what? It's an odd one, because he's been treading water for a while now.

I always thought he was decent with Toyota right up until his last year certainly not championship material mind you but he could have been a decent number 2 in the Barrichello standard. He always seemed to lose focus in the second half of seasons though, almost as if he got bored or couldn't wait for the season to end.
Thought he was impressive against Timo Glock, who seems to be highly regarded now. His head did seem to go down though when Toyota ceased and I'm not really surprised.
