KC is, sadly, exactly correct. The nature of todays cars, circuits and regs make F1 racing a technical exercise. It is totaly science when it was once partially art. Clinical skills have nearly replaced intuitive instinct. Some (Schumacher) are better adapted to this environment than others (Zinardi).
I can admire the skill of Schumacher, but I identify on a human level more with Zinardi. Too bad there is not room for both in todays F1.
It is interesting to read Alesi's observation that after one lap he knows his level, meaning that every driver knows after the first couple laps where he is going to finish, barring mishap. It takes some of the mystery and romance out of the sport, and must be discouraging for long suffering drivers like Jean.
