Formula 1: Oh, BTW, Montoya Won The Race

    Oh, BTW, Montoya Won The Race

    Lost in all the RS and MS bashing is the fact that JPM drove a brilliant
    race, and won by a large margin. It was a perfect drive. He has 50pts in
    the last 6 races, which 17 more than RS and MS, 2 wins, 3 2nd places, and
    1 3rd place. He's now become MS's main challenger, as many had hoped when
    came to F1 3 years ago.

    So, how about a little kudos for JPM? And where are all the bashers now?
    He's a legitimate WDC contender, why is no one talking about him?

    What is there to talk about? He won because he's an outstanding talent
    in the best car on the best tyres for the day. And because his
    qualifying position put him where he would be unaffected by any
    first-corner shenanigans.

    For me the driver of the day was Coulthard. Second place in a car which
    would be hard-put to be in the top 6.

    A typical Ralf race for Monty. Didn't have to do much just keep it on
    the road. Well done.
     
    Well it helps when 3 out of the 6 goes out and yes he did actually get
    past Trulli. :-p

    But yeah, a damn good drive for DC none the less.

    brilliant 
    50pts in 
    places, and 
    hoped when 
    now? 

    One thing that surprised me about JPM after his awesome drive, was how
    laid back, cool and sweat free he was in the press conference, the
    others looked knackered and rightly so (Trulli so knackered he wasnt
    there)
    Even MS is starting to look tired after races.

    This exact comment could describe most '02 races that MS won. Funny when he
    does it, it's talent, when it's anyone else, it's the car/tyres.

    For once Williams nailed their race strategy. JPM drove that thing like he
    was posessed .... tyres/strategy aside, he was overwhelmingly quicker than
    anyone else.

    He also put a great move on Webber, and switched strategy at just the right
    moment, ie. the first pitstop, when everyone else was still 3 stopping.

    Driver of the day was Trulli. Drove the wheels off his Renault.
     

    Seeing that Kimi qualified 5th in it and drove it to a podium finish in
    Silverstone while DC finished 5th, I'd say the car is quite capable of a
    top 6 finish.
