Uuhhhmm, when you're not Japanese, Indian or of some other novel nationality, it is very difficult to get into F1. Gary has his work cut out for him...

Unless he can somehow get the Tata Group, India's second largest business conglomerate, state-run refiner Bharat Petroleum Corp and JK Tyres to sponsor him

hmm... mercedes would be his best bet, when they sack montoya

Paffett's younger than kimi too... they need some ned young blood after the harrows of montoya

Mercedes sack Montoya?

Why on earth would they want to do that? I think alot of people will be surprised by Monty next season. I think he'll have the upper hand on Kimi.

if they sack Montoya, it will be to put Lewis Hamilton in the seat. He's Mercedes' no. 1, and rightly so, he's a mega talent.

I would say odds of KR leaving Mclaren at end of next season is higher than Montoya.

[nojvnof1 0]

that's a fair call, especially now that Newey has left.

Hamilton is a c##ky little git. Paffett is not. Paffett has maturity. Paffett is better than Hamilton anyway. Lets not forget what Mercedes did to young nick. Who says they'll not do the same to lewis?

I don't think you will all be as dismissive next season either...

Only a person who isnt informed about F1 would believe that Webber doesnt deserve to be in F1. He is just as talented as Button and Frank Williams has said on many occasions (including last week) that Webber is a great driver and will be a star of the future.

When i think about it every F1 team that has ever signed Webber has only had good things to say about him. Both Minardi and Jaguar rated him as a great driver and Frank Williams believes so too. ButtonGod, do you really believe you know more about Mark Webber's talents than Frank Williams?

webber was good in the jaguar

Because I don't rate Webber doesn't make me misinformed about F1. I could say you rating Webber means you know nothing about F1.

All the teams have said that he is a great driver which is a fair comment but what has he got to show for it? He has had nowhere near as many podiums as Button and is nowhere near as consistant as Button. So how can he be as good as Button? Also Jenson raced 3 races less than Webber but still beat him in the driver standings in a car that I feel wasn't as good as the Williams.

We are judge drivers talents by what we see on a race weekend and from what I have seen of Webber, he is immensely overrated. Frank obviously knows more than me on Webbers talents but for some reason he doesn't show the F1 world on race weekends what he is made of.

Clearly Button is better than Webber at everything bar (no pun intended) qualifying and perhaps defensive driving
