what do you think about the test drivers ?

in the topic about the crash between ralf and sato, we could talk about marc gene. i want to know what is your opinion about the test drivers' role. i also want to know how do you file these drivers in the 2 categories :

- categories : - should be more than a test driver (even those who have ever drive in f1)
- should stay a test driver or less

- drivers : badoer, burti, pizzonia, piquet jr, wurz, de la rosa, montagny, davidson, jani, whirdheim (i think he is the jaguar's test driver), briscoe, zonta, glock & leinders.

i also want to know what do you think about bruni & klien.

does someone find my topic interesting ? does someone read this ? i know it just made an hour but i hope someone reply to me because i really want to know your opinion about the test drivers who are sometimes considerated less than they are.

Badoer: maybe a seat in a low team
Burti: same as Luca
Pizzonia: seat in Williams, and Williams only
Nelsinho Piquet: move to F1 full time driver only after a couple of seasons testing
Wurz: test driver or very small team
De la Rosa: test driver
Montagny: same as Nelsinho
Zonta: small/average team driver

Bruni: I need to see him more to say something
Klien: definitely in the right place, he has potential

i think that bruni don't have the good car in order to show us what he is able to do. does another one have an opinion ?

Well about the test drivers,

Badoer: good, but well not good enough
Burti: same as previous
Pizzonia: should stay as test driver, very good test driver.
Nelsinho Piquet: Needs more experinence, could test more
Alexander Wurz: test driver or at a improving team, he is VERY, VERY clever
Pedro De la Rosa: well what can i say - test driver
Montagny: very, very quick, just needs to improve a bit, perhaps a team like Jag would do good.
Zonta: I liked this guy when he was in BAR, but now no.

chet : do you want to say that de la rosa isn't a good driver. i think he have proved that he could be good.



pro32-61

nobody talk about davidson. i think he did a good work this weekend.



pro32-61

and nobody mentions LEINDERS . I think he's doing a reasonable good job. He doesn't get the opportunities like Bruni or Baumgartner, but still manages to stay quite close to their times at Fridays.

it's true.

Buck Rogers : does buck rogers be an important persos in the history because i know a sog called "buck rogers" by feeder i think.



pro32-61

i like the look of dixon and badoer and zonta

davidson i rate very highly

and also i rate wurz very highly - he has always been my real favourite driver

overall badoer.

ayazyounis : i'll go to my bed...you will understand me. just look at your topic.



pro32-61

should wurz be in a team like jaguar in few seasons ? what do you think ?



pro32-61

I know Buck Rogers is a comic book hero who's fighting evil in space. but my inspiration came from the marvellous feeder song

it's a good song. i discovered it in "gran turismo 3" (i think you know this game) and then i downloaded it on kazaa.



pro32-61

Buck Rogers used to be a tv series too.

Drivers from your list that should stay as test drivers, ie not get another chance at an F1 drive:

Badoer
Burti
Wurz
De La Rosa
Jani(for the meanwhile anyway)
Zonta

Those who should get a chance at an F1 drive at some point:

Piquet Jr
Davidson
Montagny
Rosberg
Wirdheim

The rest i'm not really convinced about




"No it's not a skirt"

i forgot nico rosberg in my list. thans

@ Pro32-61

I guess you forgot to add that after downloading the song you immediately went to a shop, bought the CD and deleted the downloaded file again, didn't you?

Just a little note for the future: It is one of the rules on this forum not to talk about illegal downloads. All threads that contain such comments might be deleted by the mods or even the admins.

*****

Buck Rogers was invented in 1928 (as I remember) and has been sort of the inspiration for all following space heroes, including Flash Gordon and Luke Skywalker.

Does someone remember the movie Back Rogers In The 25th Century (1979)? It is quite funny and tells the story of our hero. Captain William "Buck" Rogers is a NASA pilot on space probe mission in 1987. He's out to explore our solar system. Something goes wrong and he falls into a cryogenic sleep while his spaceship is heading towards deep space. When his vessel finally returns to Earth - and Buck wakes up again - 500 years have passed. It's 2491 now and the Earth has just gone through nuclear disatser. Buck becomes a member of the Earth's Defense Directorate and saves the day.




Why do I have that weird feeling actually LS should have been posting all this?

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

of course, i buy it but for my brother. moreover, i didn't download the song as i 've said but a friend downloaded it for me (it's the same, i know, but it was one of the few times i do it. i prefer to buy cd. i don't want to be a law-breaker)



pro32-61
