thats the problem though mathias, you can't judge how good someone is because of the asm factor. it's the same in any case, but while people go around preaching that someone is the best thing since sliced bread, it *does* have to be taken with a pinch of salt. the team/engine combination is worth a second at least over the nearest non merc non asm team. so you have to ask if he'd be as good if say, he was in loic duval's car.
poor example there mathias, lucas and loic tend to get the same level of attention cause they've got the same backers
