Come on Dave, even you know the FW17 was woefully unreliable especially in the gearbox department and Williams nearly always lost it in the pitstops, where even Forti were faster than them :P and JV despite being a rookie was a damn good driver in 96. Just because its your rookie year doesn't mean your crap, Just look at Carlos Reuterman and Mario Andretti, who I believe actually won the championship in his rookie year.
