It's all just getting a bit old TBH, McLaren are in a rut, Jenson is good when he has a good car setup exactly how he likes; but he is not the guy to drag a team out of a rut.
Well when you put it with such concise clarity it takes all the fun out of it.
It does make me thing however about the people behind the posts, so here's my stab at it.
Profile types that post on this topic.
1. Rabid Jenson Fans that believe he's capable of winning championships if only McLaren wouldn't have catered so much to Lewis. Since Lewis wasted so many opportunities with McLaren over the years that Jenson would have capitalized on because he's that much more of a thinking driver.
2. Pragmatic Jenson supporters that in the words of another forum member that put it so eloquently said; "Jenson is good when he has a good car setup exactly how he likes; but he is not the guy to drag a team out of a rut".
3. You have the flip side of two, which are people that see Jenson as just another journeyman midfield driver, that happened to get lucky and be with the right team at the right time, and realize that in sport, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
4. The Rabid Jenson detractors that for various reasons (mostly because they take his volume of work, and saw the disproportionate effort afforded him in Mclaren) feel that he's taking up a valuable seat at a team that currently needs a leader but instead has a paper tiger driver and a paper mache management and how dare they squander talented drivers (namely Lewis) the way they do.
I think the bulk of folks here fall into the 2 and 3 groups... the others well, it's easy to tell.
But coming to think of it, the number 1 group is probably the smallest.
Isn't it great that the Lewis v. Jenson thread is locked?
