JV's out of F1. :(

Not really. It's still unknown what he will do in 2007. The only sure thing is that he is no more with BMW.

Good!!! never liked him, not even in his Indycar days :D

Bad !!!Always liked him. Even in his Indycar days (Though he did take out Bobby Rahal once)! Seriously, ****ing assholes. Apart from copying mother****ing McLarens "horn" flaps now they copied their ****tty treatment towards their drivers? I don't care what this Kubica guy can do, all i know is that it took him less than 3 laps to do a mistake that no ****ing professional driver should ever do and even a little 5 year old is aware of: When its raining, you NEVER ride the curbs. Othewise, you might as well pull the handbrake (that an F1 car doesn't have) and wait for the spin. His excuse that his tyres weren't worm enough is bull**** of course (what a coincidence that after screwing up he stayed clear off the curbs eh?) Plus he got himself disqualified by spinning the car again later on and breaking the front nose. His team changed his strategy after that accident and during the closing stages, he was left out for 50 laps on a slowly drying track with intermediates, that of course get eaten up pretty quickly. No wonder he was 2kgs underweight. In fact, Schumacher too could have faced the same problem had he finished (whoever show the condition of his tyres when he finished knows what i mean).

Anyway, people are glorifying the fact that he finished the race. I have little doubts that JV could have finished in Heidfeld's position. Perhaps Pollock (JV's manager, and the guy who persuaded him to loose half his F1 life trying to steer a pos BAR-Honda so, not exactly the most intelligent person in the world), had a little sth to do with all that pressure to BMW to commit for next year. Still, the team has showed great disrespect towards him. Villeneuve is a former F1 champion, Kubica is a F1 nothing, can't see why he should reap the rewards next year and fight for podiums for example. If one looks at the fastest laps time sheets or qualifying, he'll know who was the fastest between Heidfeld and Villeneuve during the year. If Kubica is so ****ing great, maybe Heidfeld should take the boot then. No question about it, at BMW they took the decision with their Germanic hats on.

With Kubica they're doing "a Button" all over again (only this time its their decision not FW's). Good luck to them, but nobody should feel sorry for them if he wastes one car next year or if it takes him 6 ****ing years to win a race and have half the Polish press saying a la Button "See? see? Told you so mofos, that guy is good". With that decision, they might just have reduced their team to one more 1 car team (like Renault, or Ferrari). Time will tell.

Did JV deserved sth better? Yes. The point though is whether modern F1 deserves guys like him. Answer is no. Modern f1 is about corporate public relations officers, puppets that have zero control to choose a team and have to take permission from their team to take the ****. I blame the teams too of course. Anyway, don't kid yourselves that he has any chance to race an F1 car again. I think his F1 carrer is now over thanks to BMW. And personally i wouldn't wish to see him go to NASCAR either. NASCAR has its own great drivers, all this "blood transfusion" being talked about, makes it look like a sort of an F1 dump. I'd like to see him return to Indycars. Maybe as a team-mate to Paul Tracy for example. Hopefully Jerry Forsythe with have sth to say about that in the coming weeks. What a ****ing disgrace :thumbdwn:
