Yet he managed to beat MS in a car that wasnt better than the Ferrari. Refer to Hungary 2006 when he overtook him at Turn 1 with a fantastic manoeuver. MS was just PWNED. Yes MS got him @ Imola 2006, but by that time Honda was still having problems with their tyres - refer to Melbourne 2006 when he lost ground after the start because his Michelins were too cold.

Give JB the same car and tell me if he wouldnt produce a better or similar performance? I bet JB would be capable of performing much better with that red car. Give him a good car, and he'll be a regular race winner. JB can do it.

So what? Im not defending Eddie Irvine. Even a monkey can be better than Irvine. Stewart was sold before they could fold out; Jordan won a race without him, infact their best years were without him. Frentzen had even a slightly, very small but there was, chance of fighting for the championship!

For what he did @ Austria.

talented? There were drivers much more talented than him that deserved to drive these cars more than him.
genuinely good? Hes arrogant and doesnt accept to be blamed when things goes wrong against him. He blames everything but not himself. Refer to Melbourne 2008 pitlane incident as one of the possible examples of it.
