(b) Webber has prevailed over every team-mate (possible exception, briefly, Heidfeld); what else can you do? Yes, hes never partnered Raikkonen, Massa, Hamilton etc, but just as relevant, how recently have any of them been stuck in a midfield team. I think this will be one of the shocks of 2009, and illustrate just how short memory some people have, and how easily they are influenced by one or two performances (and how desperate f1 is for a new star). I look forward to revisiting this discussion around July/Aug 09

All his background and stats means nothing in this case. It's a different situation altogether. A young driver that performed like anybody in the current grid or past Webber's team mates. Different car, different rules. Not the same situation anyway.
Let's wait and see.
