:banghead:

Why do people keep mentioning that???

He finished 3rd. He was classified last.

He was still able to drive that car to 3rd place, despite how crap it was. Surely the best driver is based on their actual talent, and not their classification. (But then Vettel should be first.)

If only the best driver was based on his character, also. Too bad life doesn't work out that way.

Although I'm not sure who would be first if things worked out that way.

I'll be Oz's friend.

But I agree with rusko this stuff is getting boring now.

yeah!!!!

Hamilton had a good car from the 2nd half of the year. The first part wasn't a great car but you'd still exept something better from the world champion. The Top 5 isn't really debatable (Buttons, Vettel, Webber, Rubens, Kimi). Rosberg had a shocking car and team all throughout the year and he did well most races (he got a bucket load of point finishes)

Yeah i agree like 3rd in Oz and 4th in Bahrain...

When Hekki could only mange 11th in Bahrain.

it wasn't a great car all year if you look at Hekki he was just able to get the most out of it.

Really? I recalled that Hamilton/McLaren got disqualifed for lieing to the stewards?

Oh right my mistake i mustn't of seen him end up in 3rd place from the back of the grid then?

ah well it was very early and i was very hungover. :rolleyes:

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!

ESPN F1 is just F1-Live with an ESPN sticker on it.
