Waylander Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 So - how do you reckon he'll get on? if Karma hates him of course he'll have engine failure! i can see him doing well but not winning, although he seems to have impressed absolutely everyone so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 If he wins first time out, it makes the racing look easy (you get what I mean!) - I hope he does, but however he does, good on him - he could do with a break. It's 12 years since he was F1 champion! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I don't think he'll win but will get a strong top ten finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted May 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I take your point Mook but disagree a little in that he wouldn't be the first Rookie champion and everyone agrees an awesome talent. I want him to win and recompense for his skills being wasted in F1 for so long 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I loved that vid of his practice runs - interviewed by a 'Merican and he said his head wouldn't let him keep his foot flat on the floor for the corners 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuprabob Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) So he starts the race on the 2nd row in P5... Not too shabby for a rookie... Out qualified by Takuma Sato and not for the first time at Indy (USGP 2004) Edited May 21, 2017 by Cuprabob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Jenson reciprocated the sentiment....
