Whereas our friends from Europe and Asia seem to prefer little S.

Absolutely but thats why its interesting. You only have to consider the recent past when JV (the last successful atlantic crossing) came to Williams the team was at the top of its game. Now its working to get back on top which makes it harder on the new driver who has to cope with increased media pressure etc. And look at JV these days. F1 is not just about racing (sadly). Zanardi was never a good driver when he was in F1 the first time around so JPM has at least one advantage over him. However, JPM has never experienced F1 other than testing so he's got it all to prove.
Apologies for the word "mediocre" it wasn't meant as an insult. I just thought it better than also-rans.
