Welcome to ten-tenths marz.
There are loads of Jenson fans around here and the Jensen/Jacques debate rages pretty much constently. All good humoured of course. It seems that the BAR is a pretty quick car this year and Button is getting some good results in when the BAR gets to the end (unlike Villeneuves!). It could be a very good year for him... |

jenson doesnt need the disrespect of anyone especially villenuve. Villeneuve may have experience but that doesnt mean anthin unless you can produce results on the day. Montoya is another unlucky driver. It is typical of the bmw engine to fail just when he is in the lead. Alono : the future is looking bright already i also think we need to re instate Eddie Irvine in some area of Formula One, preferably commentating in James Allen's place!!!!!!!!!! We can then have more driver fights in the pits!!!!! Maybe w can have him as pit reporter |

I've been impressed with Jenson this year too. I was at the start of last year as well, although less so as the season wore on. Lets see if he can keep it up this year.

Yeah, I don't like Jacques mind games, so Jenson is doing good this season and JV would swallow it.

I am still not sure about Button. He had a fairly lonely race in Austria. JV was having more of a scorcher. So far there are two races that Button threw away points and in Brazil a possible win!! He was in-front of KR and GF when he spun, and he did not need to pit again. He seems steady but under pressure I am not sure that he does not crack. I hope he improves throughout the season and that JV can really get a chance to show where he is compared to Button. JV will be the best measuring stick. So far we have not really gotten the chance.

I think Jenson is great. A real talent on the track but I also like his attitude, unlike certain others (I won't mention for fear of inflaming issues).
He has a great manner when interviewed - comes over as a decent, level-headed bloke who you could honestly go out and have a drink with, without getting the all the 'naff F1 celebrity' stuff. If you know what I mean. By the way - if you fancy a beer Jenson - PM me and I'll check if my diary is clear. |

Jenson drives well, granted, but he needs a bit less of the attempted humorous quips when being interviewed. He just comes accross as a ****. He's trying to be like Irvine I think.
He's yet to be spectacular, he's about the same level as DC in terms of ability, (not saying mutch). A win would take him forward, but he needs to move to better teams not worse teams. Loose the attitude jense. |

As for his personality, I think its great. He seems to be down to earth and very mature for his age. He has a lot of responsibility at age 22 or is it 23 now? At that age I could barely concentrate on school! Hopefully he stays at BAR, the team is getting better and so is the car. I know that Honda will deliver a winning motor in the next couple of years and since there is a joint effort on the chassis side I expect them to be ahead of Williams soon.

He's doing well this year, though, isn't he? I honestly thought he was going to get a severe pasting from Jacques and even though we're only 6 races in and taking car reliability into account, it doesn't look like it's going to happen. I really like seeing drivers settling into F1 and improving. I hate it so much when people sometimes get turfed out after 1 season or even less. He looked so hopeless at times against Fisichella, but he's really improved over the last 12 months. Good on him. |

Not really a Jenson fan but he is doing okay this year isn`t he, i thought Jacques would give him a pasting aswell i have to say but it is obvious now that JB is Dave Richards golden boy in the team and the whole reliability issue seems to be getting to Jacques, having said that am i the only one who thinks that when both cars where working in Austria JV had the edge on Jenson all weekend. My main problem with JB is i cant really see him ammounting to much more than a Frentzen, maybe 2 or 3 wins but no way a world champ, when it boils down to it you have Kimi , Juan, Alonso and Webber who have all come into F1 after him and have all stolen his thunder, add to that the trouncing he took off Fisi and it all makes him look no more than competent in my books, then again i`m not a F1 team boss am i.

You know from where is Miss Hardt, mr v? She's never been German...
On the Jacques vs Jenson thing, I've heard or read somewhere that they were getting along a bit better after all. So, maybe Jacques is respecting him. (But even if he respects Jenson, it doesn't make Jacques' car any more reliable!) |

During the race on Sunday (or was it qualifying Saturday?), Brundle said that Button and Villeneuve had been seen chatting away and laughing together, which suggests that the original tension between the two (if it actually existed beyond the media hype surrounding JV's wilder remarks) has dissipated somewhat, and at least some kind of constructive, co-operative detante has broken out.
You only need to read my posts elsewhere to see I'm not JV's greatest fan, but Brundle's comments suggest to me that JV is now respecting Button a little more (and vice versa). I guess JV always suspects the worst of a new teammate until he's proven otherwise. That's kind of beside the point of the thread though Jenson is doing very well. It shows that the early promise he showed in his first year hasn't disappeared. Whether he's future WDC material remains to be seen - I'm sure us Brits'll love him more if he's a galant failure than if he's the next Schumy anyway |
