Fair enough.

Barrichello's entire strategy in Germany was a mistake?

It was just the broken fuel rig that screwed him.

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

ESPN should stay away from F1 IMO, that was a pretty pointless article stating only the very obvious and bringing no new perspectives to the table. Oh and the biggest mistakes of the year were ridiculous, as scotty said already, Barrichello's strategy was not really to blame, and they didn't even include Vettel taking out Kubica in round 1, I would say that was the most obvious choice of them all. Weak article, just weak!

As much as I like to disagree, like Sebastien Vettel said after the Abu Dhabi race, regarding a comment made by Flavio:

"...as I said before ‘should’, ‘could’ and ‘would’ don’t matter in sports, only results."

Although many on this forum do not agree - including myself sometimes - this is reality. Button was better, and his results speak for themselves.

All in all I mostly agree with it, Hamilton should be 3rd, with Webber, Raikkonen, and Barichello battling for 4th.

It is also interesting how he is always comparing motorsport with soccer. Perhaps after 3 WDCs he might play for Bayern Munich or Schalke?

#5 Vettel!
