Anthony Davis Set To Replace Schumacher?

The post of mine you quote is perfectly civil.  I don't know why you're so sensitive.  All I'm trying to do is objectively assess JV's performance but somehow you don't seem to like that.  We all understand the point about the team you're making but we want to be clear that this doesn't let JV off the hook.  There's no point threatening us either or insulting us and our arguments.  Feel free to post elsewhere if you don't like someone being criticised when they make mistakes.

Whatever the team did, the incident was entirely JV's fault.  You could clear up this difference by using the word entirely for once.

I thought I had. Many times I have said the accident was JV's fault. Is it not enough to say a man is dead, or is it neccesary to say he is entirely dead!!!!

I knew this was gonna turn into another pro/anti JV fest when the incident happened, and it seems I was right.

"He did well in Q1 this time though."

and Q2, with 15 more kg of fuel than Massa he was less than .1 slower, add to that his fastest race lap was about .4 faster than Massa, add to that JV on a fat fuel load was able to keep his tyres on good condition whilst other drivers in better car's could not.

Look, I'll say it now, and I'm gonna scream it so the anti-JV folk, even those who won't admit it, will hear me. THE MOVE WAS JV'S FAULT. IT WAS DUMB, ILL-TIMED, HASTY AND RECKLESS AND COST THE TEAM POINTS.

Phew, now having said that, I read reports on other forums that FM let JPM through as his tyres were shot, if so, why wasn't he told to allow JV through?? My feeling is that JV's attempt to pass was a massive output of JV's sheer frustration and the pressure on him to perform. Before you all jump on my back, no it's not an excuse.

"This is not a JV bashing at all"

It never is One dumb move was all it took for the knives to come out and the critics to revel in JV's pathetic mistake. It was a bad move, a move to which JV has come out and admitted fault, get over it. He isn't the first to take his teammate out and certainly won't be the last, if it were any other driver than JV then I doubt it would be played up on as much.

"The point is there is now no possible excuse from lack of testing."

and what does that have to do with anything?? His pace in the race isn't in question. He was quicker in Q1, slower by less than .1 in Q2 with 15kg more of fuel and ran a faster race lap. How a lack of testing can be brought as an "excuse" for JV's move isn't logical and I wouldn't support it.
