Well what do ya think of it?

i thought he would be beating trulli, but it seems hes not. I think this driver pairing is quite equal and will be a good battle to watch in the champ :)






"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

I think that Ralf got speed but he has done too much mistakes so far but it will be interesting to see how the rest of the season goes between Trulli and Ralf :)

It's an interesting battle, Trulli was faster so far but not by much! Toyota has really done a great job this season and I think we'll be seeing both of them on the podium more than a few times this season!

totally agree., i'm probably one of ralf's biggest fan., but so far he's been outpaced by jarno., but jarno is not an easy teammate, last year he washed the floor with alonso's hair..., i don't think he's gonna have it easy with ralf tough.., strating from imola..,

had ralf never made the mistake in qual at bahrain, he would've been in front of jarno...

the one that's done nothing is montoya, he's in a hole right now, he's driving like he did in 2003, where ralf totally dominated him.., he's doing nothing but waiting for others not to finish, kimi's gonna send him back to the us...

PS:, jenson is coming back to get that imola win..

cheers!

Jarno had those few races with the team at the end of last year. This already gives him the psychological upper hand of being the more experienced Toyota driver. And that experience counts, as we're seeing with Alonso and Fisichella at Renault.

Jarno has a habit of being an amazing qualifier, and will generally end up running nearer the front than Ralf. We tend to notice these things, and so it might seem like Jarno will blow the doors of Ralf. But check the results at the end of the year and we'll see where they stand.....

Ralf is a strange driver. I didn't think he would beat Trulli. But perhaps, there's a race where Ralf wins and he bets everyone, who knows. He is very irregular driver but when he has his day, he is veeeery fast.

IIRC Montoya almost won the world championship that year.

Ralf is on a slippery slope on the way to the F1 exit. He is crap, he knows it, and he should take his ego and get out while he still has some respect (not much though).

The current issue F1 Racing ran a poll of who is the best driver in F1, after MS, conducted by people in the know in F1 (Ex drivers, team bosses and engineers, Journalists, photographers, commentators, racers from other formulas).

Results as follows:

1 = Kimi
2 = Alonso
3 = Rubens
4 = Fisi
5 = JPM
6 = Button
7 = DC
8 = Webber

Trulli, Heidfeld and Massa got 1 vote each. Ralf didn't get one vote out of 72 people. Speaks volumes, if you ask me.

Thankfully F1 races are decided on the track and not by public voting.

Erm re-read my post - the voting was done by F1 Insiders, not the public.

I have to say so far this year I have been really disapointed by kimi, I think trulli has been doing a much better job.

I think RS has done a better job than webber i also think nick has as well.

I have been dissapointed to Montoya Kimi has been so much faster then him but I think Webber has done better work then Nick.

nick got taken out in aus, 3rd in sepang and blew up at the last gp.

Webber spun away 3rd place crashed in speang and finished 5th in aus.
