Juan Pablo Montoya is he the only one that can handle the new williams

ok I know there has only 1 race in the f1 season so far but is Juan Pablo Montoya the only person that can handle the new williams because RS looked all over the place in the Australian Grand Prix and he is way out of his league in my opinion what do you think.

thats what is needed on RS's head to cover the shame

LOL, well, the car is built around JPM, having been built around Ralf in previous years, so that might very well be the reason why JPM did well and Ralf didn't.

Do we know it was built "around" JPM? JPM could have and should have won the race. RS because of his inability or unwillingness to make passes was stuck behind slower cars. When RS had room he was pretty fast too.

JPM was very fast though. It seemed like Williams were sandbagging during the offseason. If not then they made a last minute discovery that made the car faster.

Ralf just had a really sh!tty race.

JPM through away what may have been his only chance to win a race this year. The three guys who deserved to win JPM/Kimi/MS all had quiet poor luck.

A very poor race for Ralf (not all of it his fault though). He lacks his brothers 'fight for whatever result I can get' attitude. Many drivers have bad days, but a rare few can still pull something out of it. Both the Williams drivers can suffer from this.

Couldn't one say Ralf's repeated spinning would be an indication he WAS trying to salvage his race? JPM seems to give up more than Ralf. He in particular seems to find the imbalance of F1 frustrating.

Yes, he can really handle that williams, and yes he made a mistake, a big one, but so did Shumi, and Ralf(no surprise).

Actually they DID find something.They had two gearbox designs to choos from,found one was definitely better and were frantically building enough parts in time for the OZ gp
Maybe not a huge difference but definitely some improvemnt

I think the Williams is a dog, JPM did good to muscle it around but there is no way they're going to be competing with Mclaren and Ferrari this year.

Doesn't it seem sad that drivers like Fisichella, Coultard, Barrichello, and Ralf all have secure seats in F1, despite having had race winning cars for many more seasons than Jacques, yet failing to chalk up as many wins as he (let alone a WDC) that it is Jacques who doesn't have a drive in F1??? Sad indeed.
