Emmcee 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2014 Because that was 7 years ago when Marcus was in Formula BMW UK. What you getting at? Your not making sense. Alonso is double world champion but he hasn't won one in 8yrs, he's no good hey? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackgarrett 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2014 I just think its was a mistake to letting Heikki have a drive at all last year, it should of been their test driver who won GP2 the year before and Heikki never did that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmcee 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2014 Yeah I know what your saying and yes that would have been more the "fairer" option, but in saying that Heikki has proved in the past he can be quick and score podiums and points if in the right car so I assume lotus went with him on a "safety" basis but it failed, not to Heikkis control though.

If I recall correctly, he did outscore Fisichella. Unfortunately, by all accounts, his rookie season was his best (well, he had great seasons with Lotus/Caterham too, but it really doesn't count for much when you're not fighting for the points). He had a good start at McLaren, but then some bad luck and things went downhill from there. Too bad, as I really like Heikki, and I think we didn't see the best of him in a good team.

You could be right, I actually think he got better just didnt have the luck and by the time he did, he was in a car that wouldn't do much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
