He's talking about Jean Alesi. And as far as the "if" game goes we can say the same thing about 40% of the drivers on the grid in any given year. "IF" you place them in the best car they will do well.
I liked Alesi, I just don't think he was EVER World Champion material...

Well the difference with alesi was that he had signed for williams..then pulled a button to go to ferrari, (being of italian origin he couldnt resist) And to be honest The williams of the nineties were so good Alesi was more than talented enough to win the WC.

IMHO Alesi showed that he had good WDC material in his first year, I was impressed by his battle with Senna @ Phoenix 91. Until that moment Senna had lost his motivation, but Alesi suddenly woke up the genius when he overtook him and then Ayrton recovered it and was back on track to fight for a third title.
Unfortunately, Alesi's career went downhill when he signed for Ferrari to be Alain Prost's teammate. Just another good driver who did a bad choice in his career and destroyed it.
What I cant understand is, he was one of the drivers of "Senna Golden Era" (Others are Berger and MS, but I dont care about MS) that was still in F1 after Imola 94, and no other big teams made a move to sign him? They completely forgot him, I guess. Williams or Benetton could have signed in that year, was the perfect moment for Alesi to take the F1 crown in 1995...

Yes, but now he is remembered as a driver who could have done more, but didn't have the chance, instead of a driver who had the chance and failed.
Yes, I was talking about Alesi, but only in response to Jagdpanzer that Alesi had 'never tore up F1'... which he clearly did

Eh? 1 win? Granted he showed a consistent fast pace, and had a good number of podium finishes, but Alesi doesn't even win in a comparison against his old teammate Gerhard Berger. Berger had more success in his career than Alesi ever did.
You can put it down to opportunity, teams, bad luck, whatever, but IN MY OPINION Alesi was just another one of the drivers who had great promise, but for whatever reason, it was never realized. It's not as if he was ever dominant in F1.....
AGAIN... MY OPINION....

yep agree with that, he never fulfilled his potential ( he should've followed his head not his heart, and that by his own admission )

One thing about Alesi and he was a definate showman, you always got your moneys worth out of him, very good driver to watch wringing the neck of his car, especially in tricky conditions.

I don't think Alesi would've been very suited to the Williams environment.

Nice work Nuno.
But I don't this the "Mutua" logo would be blue. This is super anal Mclaren we're talking about. The Blue would probably be black and the white the silver colour of the car.
