Then look at the races where the points were gained and in a few races where Vergne scored points Ricciardo retired or had another problem. In very few of them did Vergne resoundingly beat Ricciardo and Ricciardo had his measure in as many as when Vergne beat him. So for me it simply means that the two of them are closely matched and Ricciardo got the nod for reasons that the team knew about and preferred him. |

So expected Vergne to have a good quali today as some talk that this style of circuit suits the strengths of his driving....but is it choking but he often seems to fall off the track when its all to play for

And that there is the reason Daniel got the drive over JEV.
Simples. Thank you. |

Yesterday wasn't JEV's fault though was it?
Car failure? Up until that point he had held his own and may have been playing a long game with the tyres, because he had started to lose a bit of grip. |

The whole situation with tyres etc has become meaningless as a true evaluation of a drivers real ability. If I am going to say its significant I have to look at it and do a comparison table to make sure I got it right! And in this case its not. |

Not much passing by Dan but had others on his tail most of the race and held them at bay error free. Still dont get to see enough of either driver in combat with good points to play for. We were robbed to see how Vergne would have fared with the fast finishers coming back through at the end |
