Fisi's latest positive thoughts!
"Realistically, the podium is difficult - it's quite far away," Fisichella told reporters at Sepang.
what a clown I'd boot him out and replace with him with someone who can be positive |

Is this an unrealistic thing to say? Given the fact that Ferrari and McLaren are so much quicker, then he's probably right.
This appears to be a pointless bash. |

Perhaps they should replace him with Nelson?

It may not be his lack of positive attitude that gets him booted if Heikki gets his rhythm sorted. For the moment though, it seems even McLaren are ruling out wins and simply aiming for podiums, so you cant discredit him that much.

I vote to close it. I'm sure there'll be a bashing thread opened if he finishes 4th...

Given how politically correct F1 is I'm surprised that drivers are allowed to make such public statements. As for the merit of the statement, Renault has SIX cars faster than themselves (Ferrari, Mclaren, BMW). Williams appears to be about the same speed as Renault (poor AUS qualifying) and Red Bull not far behind. Those four cars will add extra challange to Renault if poor luck strikes 4 faster cars.

poor old fisi. i do have a soft spot for him, mainly due to his early seasons in F1 when he'd finish on the podium and his lack of english vocab would lead him to announcing "i am very 'appy" in post race interviews.
but yeah, enough of the pointless bashing please. it's not like he's rammed someone off the road on purpose, he's just said the car needs work which is true! |

Silly Bash
Hey don't get me wrong-i'd sack fisi too but not for being realistic and saying the truth! I'd just sack him for being continually slow,LOL (yes i know,he's the best choice right now.But this year being what it is i'd be trying out new guys) |

It is natural to assume this when your cars keep finishing in the lower reaches of the points!

What gets me is he just cannot seem to suss how you feed the press and promote the company line.
How many times have we read the following ... "It was a productive testing session and we tried out a number of different configurations and with some new aero parts due, we believe we can make a step change that will make us more competetitve" (quote from ... name any one team of your choice) I think he just needs to get a professional head on and even if he feels negative - get some positive attitude in. I reckon in F1 you need to be a 'glass half full', 'can do' type of person. |

And to be fair the guy's hardly done anything wrong on track this season yet has he?
He's driven his nuts off both races so far for fairly little reward - it makes me wonder what he might have achieved last season (if allowed) had he been putting in similar performances? |

Closely matched so far? I think you should re-watch the first race of the season.

Okay, so Fisichella had the legs on Kovalainen in the first race, but I guess what I mean rather than 'so far' is 'at this point.'
Basically it seems that Kovalainen is already approaching Fisichella's pace. |

It was tongue in cheek admittedly.
Certainly on this seasons evidence, Heikki will be a success if he matches Fisi consistently (oh how the sights have lowered). Nigel Roebuck raises an interesting point in his Autosport column yesterday though. He asks, given that Fisi is more or less finishing the same as in 2005/06, where would Alonso be in the same car? It's an interesting thing to consider. Maybe Fernando woul be pushing for the podium? I think that would be tough, but Renault do miss him a lot it seems. |

Personally, I don't feel that Alonso would be fighting for podiums in this year's Renault. |

I agree with Hugh Jarce. DC insisted for years that it was "his year." We all laughed, but that's the kind of stuff you have to say and to some degree believe. Every time a team does poorly at a race, test, whatever, they say "we have new parts coming which we expect will improve our competitiveness." No one ever comes back and says "LIARS!" Everyone knows its mindless dribble. It's like the sports cliche interview responses about giving 110%, etc.
Notice how at Toyota they say that kind of stuff less and less? They just accept that they will finish in 7-14th. Despite Fisi's poor past performances, I don't think that Alonso would be close to the front in this year's Renault. Could one say that Sauber had a car capable of winning a championship a few years ago? Last edited by Snrub; 13 Apr 2007 at 16:35. |

No, probably not. He'd more likely be the guy picking up podiums after a McLaren or Ferrari dropped out.
