Raven - What has junk won? He may be highly rated by him/her or whoever and may be currently leading the standings but he's been in that series now 3 years and has won...nothing! Tracy is the only decent driver in that field...Bourdais is very average, won the 3000 title thanks to Enge being thrown out and during a very average year for the series driver depth wise!
Carpentier has always been average as has Jordain. They are both OK on their day, but their day comes along very rarely. Allmendinger and Hunter Reay are OK but they still have a lot to learn. If he was beating Castroneves, Franchitti, Weldon, Dixon, Kanaan etc then yes I would go along with that!
At the test he may have been slightly quicker than Button but note the word SLIGHTLY! He had miles more experience that Button so should have had more pace and should have been more technically aware. It was due to the fact that Jense got so close to him that Frank could see he had more potential! And Patrick Head has always been a huge fan of Jenson which says a lot in my opinion.
