Is not something Sir Frank or Sir Patrick do or listen to that is going to change what Formula Juan is going to do. His hard work and dedication will more likely do the job for him. Having the team 100% behind Formula Juan does not mean they have to build the team around him a la Ferrari. Williams is perfectly capable of being 100% behind both drivers.

Of course I expect that JPM complete a great season, and If it is possible, the WDC |

He said only last week that he was prepared to race if he was as quick as the REST. I am sure he wouldn't be real happy if a young upstart like JPM came along and won the WDC in his second year. I assume that when MS said "the REST", he didn't mean Alex Yoong... And I don't dislike MS.

Did they give him the CART engine??? Did they give him his F3000 engine??? I think NOT. Stop talking BS.

Don't worry, when he starts winning he won't give the car 100% of the credit.

He aint Schuey though. And never will be. Exciting and fast but he isnt in the same class as MS. MS came into F1 less experienced than Juan and did a much better job and has done ever since. JPM needs the car to be to his liking like Mika then he is awesome but MS has driven **** heaps to victories like in 96. Has everyone forgotten 96? Leave it a few years b4 hailing JPM as the new god because he really isnt. Theres no business like Shue business. Word.

I think his first season was very good. During the last races he actually matched Ralf, so I expect them to be even closer this year. If the young guys (Heidfeld, Raikkonen) don't improve fast enough, we may yet be heading towards a Ralf - Juan aera. |

Of course he won't ever be another Schumi. Just like Schumi isn't Senna, Clark or Fangio. And I can't ever see a "Ralf" era happening. He just isn't good enough - not in the car, but out of it. And as for Monty - I don't think he would benefit from unequivocal no.1 status - Ralf's pretty much there to keep him on his toes... |

I'm not suprised Juan said this as he has basically stated fact hasn't he. No matter how great your skill, you HAVE to have the car to do the job or you're in the same predicament as JV. Sad....but true.

But it's interesting to note that since last year's Japan GP, JPM had quite often talked about this topic.. that he stresses that Michael's achievements is hugely attributed to the car/team support. More than just a couple of times. Although i am aware that this is the current situation in F1 where cars play big roles, I just have this funny feeling that JPM is trying to underline certain points and undermine Michael's capabilities in comparison to his own.
JPM o'boy, we all know what the car/driver situation is...If you would just carry on with your job and stop involving yourself with Michael's affairs. |
