Consistency. Maturity. fast. Better than teamate. Who am I talking about??

Tristan · 14 Apr 2002, 13:50 (Ref:259946)

Jenson Button. Discuss.

Jay · 14 Apr 2002, 13:52 (Ref:259953)

huh?

Kex · 14 Apr 2002, 13:53 (Ref:259954)

I thought you were on about Ralf for a moment there....

TeddyG · 14 Apr 2002, 13:54 (Ref:259957)

yeah I thought Ralf too..but I like Button he has really made a turnaround this year

M Power · 14 Apr 2002, 13:55 (Ref:259960)

Ralf for sure. but JB is doing a top job

RT · 14 Apr 2002, 13:56 (Ref:259961)

Both Ralf Schumacher and Jenson Button.

Kex · 14 Apr 2002, 13:57 (Ref:259966)

I'd love to be in Jenson's shoes...

f1manoz · 14 Apr 2002, 13:57 (Ref:259967)

MARK WEBBER

EERO · 14 Apr 2002, 14:00 (Ref:259973)

I thought it would be about Webber

Actually, Button has impressed. Given how far behind Fisichella he was last season, it makes you wonder if the decision by flavio Flave to replace the Roman with Trulli was a good one.

Button is certainly on the path towards redemption and the question posed recently on this board about Renault's drivers for 2003 is going to be answered, "Button and Alonso".

Kex · 14 Apr 2002, 14:03 (Ref:259981)

If you think about it, Trulli hasn't really made much of an impression since Austria 1997.

Tristan · 14 Apr 2002, 14:10 (Ref:259994)

Yeah. he's a good driver, Trulli. Usually gives Jenson a run for his money, certainly in qually, but he never has the luck in the races. Two quality drivers.

Minardi fan · 14 Apr 2002, 14:38 (Ref:260034)

Kimi, Webber, Ralfie...

Jenson has been fantastic this season. I TOLD you it was the car's fault last season, but nooooooooo. Well, ha ha ha ha ha.

And Jarno is a quality driver too - Renault have themselves an extremely strong pairing.

Ralf's Girl · 14 Apr 2002, 14:45 (Ref:260051)

I thought Ralf as well...but of course Button still deserves to be mentioned. His performances so far this year have been excellent, although to be fair to Trulli, Button has had the lion's share of the reliability. We haven't really seen what Trulli can do yet, and there is probably more to come from Button as well.

Schummy · 14 Apr 2002, 14:45 (Ref:260052)

Answering thread's title:

Michael Schumacher
Ralf Schumacher
Jacques Villenueve
Heinz-Harald Frenzten
Max Webber

LOL! A good question for a poll!

Tony_Simpson · 14 Apr 2002, 14:55 (Ref:260080)

Trulli still cannot do a competative race distance yet, why did he go to Renault? yes he is quick at times but not got it right in the race yet.

Raven · 14 Apr 2002, 15:10 (Ref:260110)

Yeah that was a disappointing race from Trulli after qualifying. Button once again brings home the bacon for Renault.

I still reckon Renault's driver line up is pretty weak though. Fisichella and Villeneuve/Alonso would have been a much better pairing IMO.

I've wondered about this all along, and I still think Fisichella would be a better choice than Trulli. About Button being far behind Fisi last season, I have "inside information" from Harald Huysman, who is Jenson Button's manager as well as co-commentator at the Norwegian F1 transmissions. He said that Jenson's engineer last year wasn't really up to scratch, and that the bad performance last year was much down to that. This year, he has got a new race engineer, who is doing a better job, and so Jenson is able to do better in the races. It really underlines how much of a team sport F1 is.

Mania · 14 Apr 2002, 15:27 (Ref:260134)

Button's star is certainly shining. Im beginning to question whether Trulli has what it takes but I'd like to reserve judgement since the season is still young and I still think Trulli can rise to the next level..but he better get his act together soon...

Sato san · 14 Apr 2002, 15:35 (Ref:260146)

well done Jense...

this thread couldnt have been about Michael , as it would have had CAR THIEF up there as well !!

I totally agree with your last point, thanks for the tip, buddy. Got any more inside info????

RWC · 15 Apr 2002, 00:27 (Ref:260490)

OOOOHHH NOOOOOO!!
Here we go.Suddenly jenson is the messiah again.
The reason he was so slow last year was from a variety of reasons.NONE of which had to do with him"losing his ability"
Then"suddenly finding it again"
This kind of talk REALLY ****es me

Wrex · 15 Apr 2002, 00:29 (Ref:260491)

Well I'm not shy of sticking the boot into button-nose, but lately he has been very impressive. Keep it up, and Frank may be seriously looking at you.

f1manoz · 15 Apr 2002, 00:35 (Ref:260498)

I would have said Fisichella as well, but the awful car disguises his abilities. Plus the fact he barely got anywhere in the race....

How he must be dreading the rest of this season...

kristof14 · 15 Apr 2002, 00:35 (Ref:260499)

yeah jensons done well this season, as has mark webber although his team mate is clearly there for the money he brings to the team.

BBKing · 15 Apr 2002, 01:30 (Ref:260550)

Rubens Barrichello ...LOL
