So in 2015 JP became very vocal about boost as the season progressed and grumbled about the TOCA engine. I'll call that true as it was slow where it should have been fast; slippery shape that VW. Damned near had the Championship, Flashs last race charge was astonishing. JP form = good.
16 was decent once Colin and he sussed the motors out - Oulton IIRC. Colin was better than JP IMO but lets face it - Colin is bloody brilliant. I presume their was sod all testing budget; certainly 3 of the 4 Subarus hadn't ran until Brands race weekend (again IIRC). JP form = good.
17 - iffy from the start. Plato seemingly done for at Brands after that shunt. Ash got better each meeting. No testing again; seemingly no pennies - possibly due to the 888 bailout and this is a popular rumour as to the falling out. If JP had had a car on track he might well have identified and sorted the car issues (and indeed any Plato issues). Yes, they did test at Snetterton but that was half a season wasted by that point. JP form = not like him at all.
