why do most people think that pdlr is better than j. verstappen?

A lot of people think that pedro is better than Jos, altough jos got more points and did some spectacular things on the ciruits. On the other hand pedro did out qualify Jos. So what makes pedro a better driver

Well, I think it is because Pedro had less bad luck on the circuits that best suit the Arrows, he drove 3rd in Austria and Hockenheim, but in Hockenheim Jos had bad luck in qualifying when his car would'nt start when the circuit was still dry , when he got out the pits the track was wet, he could have been closer to Pedro and maybe better (Pedro was 5th on a almost dry track, Jos was 12th when it was a lot wetter), in Austria Jos could'nt avoid Mika Salo at the first corner, he had to come in for a nose cone change, he was ahead of Pedro at that time (just after the incident), and after the pitsstop he set the fastes lap (twice), so he could have done better than Pedro there.

other statistics: Jos 5 points, Pedro 2 - Jos finished 7 times, Pedro 6 times - Jos had 3 crashes/spins , Pedro had 6(twice as much), in all 3 races where both cars finished Jos was the first Arrows.

He might have outqualified Jos, but he never outraced him, and it's the racing part that get's you points.

Why do you people think that j. verstappen is better than pdlr?

The impression that i think Pedro dela Rosa is better is due to last season i think when he scores his pt in Australia. But that is changing after i watched on TV the 2 of them race this season. Indeed, Jos seems more impressive during races than pdlr... =)
