I never thought otherwise. All I said was that the story shared some similarities ;)


Yep. I realise that. :):)

Villeneuve hasn't been a good F1 Driver for a long time. Even setting aside ow long it took him to get used to the new rules (Which is a cop out excuse anyway), he was failing to deliver on his claimed promise more than half a decade ago. Aside from which, he's a pretty useless team component - that's how Button and (To some extent) Panis managed to show him the door.


It's entirely plausible that a driver would not be able to adapt to specific regulations. For example, Hill really struggled with grooved tyres in '98 and '99. I don't think Villeneuve was anything spectacular, but I don't think he was as bad as some of his results in later years showed. I think he could have put a lot more effort in at certain points, mind you. A lot.

Damn Damn Damn !! What a race to make a mistake!! His best track! Well there goes my prediction for a podium :( Unles it pours with rain or theres a ten car pile up at the first corner.

ps. Nothing like Jacques Vileneuve DD..nothing like :nono:


You can't say nothing like. The Formula One story of Hamilton has several similarities to that of Villeneuve, if you consider it.


no there's just two he won the title i his 2nd year and now he's having a bad year because of the car.

So you can only say there's only one since the car isn't really lewis is it

I've seen it before i think its a stupid comparison.

I mean if Lewis wins tommrow :wink: does that mean hes suddenly like Paninis and is never gonna win again?


#1: Comes in to the sport highly-rated having just dominated his previous series.
#2: Nearly wins the title in his first year.
#3: Wins the title in his second year, having been driven in to by a Ferrari driver (albeit not in the final round of the championship).
#4: Enters his defending season in a sub-par car.

What happens from now on will determine whether or not there are any more similarities.


I would actually be interested in seeing if JV could race decently with next year's regulations, to be honest.



1. Not really because JV came from a top level Series in the US not a Junior Series
2. Fair enough
3. Good one on the Ferrari - Fair enough
4. Yeh but thats not really Lewis is it

For example Lewis is Like Senna because

1. He Drives for Mclaren
2. He has a yellow Helmet
3. He's won a world Championship
4. He is good around Monaco
5. He crashed in the same place as Senna in quali

i'm sure i could think of more lol, but do you see my point there are simlarities yes its silly to say its history repating it self exactly or he's just like that.

I didn't say history was repeating itself, just that there were similarities. Also, sub-par car is a sub-par car. The FW20 was disgusting! :hehe:

Hey now, that's uncalled for. It would have been at least mediocre if it hadn't been for that miserable Mechachrome engine.

Did anyone bet on Lewis getting on the podium?


Not quite. I made a bet for £1 with my friend that he would finish in fourth place. Not looking so clever now :P
