Ctrl300 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2006 Nothing wrong with pinching a few drivers. The point is that Ron is currently enjoying a surplus of talent. Alonso coming in, Kimi might stay, Hamilton and Paffett ready on the sidelines. There is, for the time being at least, no need for Nico at Mclaren. If he egnites the world from now and till 2009 one might see a Mclaren swoop for his services. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NicoFan 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2006 Nico is hot property because he is doing something in the sport no one has done in ten years - make people sit up and watch a rookie driver. It's great that he is contracted to Williams till '09 as this will give him a stable platform to hone his F1 race craft and undeniable engineering ability. He will overtake Webber by mid-season without a doubt in my mind over driver status at Williams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ctrl300 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2006 One might understand NicoFan for being biased and enthusiastic when his #1 guy gets all this good press. Nevertheless, getting up does not mean anything. People get up to give Ide his seat in the paddock all the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moose11 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2006 Is it just me in thinking that people are 'hyping' Nico just a little to much and going a little overboard considering he's only had 2 F1 races so far? I mean it's still very early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully it will take him a lot less time to win than in Jenson's case...furthemore Lewis Hamilton is born on 7 july 1985 so he's one month younger than Nico and so he has time on his side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not because he is black, not because he is British, but because he is incredibly talented. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
