As I've said before, I'm sort of on the fence with RB, I really don't know what to think about him and his talent. The one thing I am sure about is he must have valuable experience to share having been with a championship winning team for several years. For Honda's sake it seems management ought to try and be a little more open minded to his imput. There is no reason for an F1 team to takke months to change the brakes on a driver's car...

 

Looks like Trulli thinks the same of Toyota....

[I]Trulli blames poor run on car
Friday, 26, May, 2006, 12:12

Jarno Trulli has blamed a lack of consistency from his Toyota, as well as internal team politics, for his poor run of results in 2006.

The former Monaco Grand Prix winner has endured a dire start to the season and has yet to even score a point.

 

well Honda needs someone fresh from outside RB will be good for Honda in the long run. Just look at the way they handle pit stops and tire strategy, they are not up to par with big teams. Yes I agree with RB assessment, JB just seems like media darling, and doesnt have a good assessment of the car, the right now it has aweful top speed, traction control is under developed, and braking is soft. Maybe JB style is ruining Honda development and RB can help in this area. If HF1 is better next couple round and the car is developed for RB preference I will give RB all the credit.

 

Funny how both drivers are suckest at this point of the season and their respective teamates are owning their a$$'s!!

 

and I hate it when drivers blame the team. They (the drivers) seem to lose the notion of what a "team" really means.....

 

I don't know exactly whose fault it is but I think it is really dumb to hire drivers who require radically different car set-ups. Makes more sense for the driver(s) to adapt to just one coarse set-up for both cars (like having the same brake system).

 

matrix - Trulli was in a renault and couldn't win

what car do you see Trulli getting results ?

 

I hear what you are sayiing from a cost point of view, but I think the differences in driver's style is not only a good thing, but it should be a welcomed thing. The fact that a team would have to make a car work for two different approaches seems to me would cause them to really know theeir car better. Plus with 2 drivers having 2 strategies is often a great way to make sure you always have at least one car in the points.
