Methinks too many people on here today are wearing rose coloured glasses. Nobody is perfect.

Who wants to be a nobody anyway?

Well there's your answer! I agree wholeheartedly with Mr Conte.

A bit harsh

[What's Burning?]

I prefer excitement over perfection so I accept my favorite driver just the way he is.

I'll have to think about it...The biggest problem with Jenson's performance relates mainly to not switching the tyres on quick enough, which can limit qualifying performance and dampen performance in cooler temperatures. But the problem is, that's the result of a give-and-take scenario (Remember F1 fans, drivers - like us - cannot have their cake and eat it too) with his smoothness, consistency and his ability to preserve the car's longevity. Likewise, the secondary problem - adaptability - is again the result of a similar give-and-take scenario with regards to the same aspects of his driving style, in this instance the way Jenson drives a car (smoothly and consistently) is in ideal or near-ideal conditions as fast as or faster than (At least over a Grand Prix distance) any other method. The problem is, the operating window can be too narrow to achieve the optimal results with substandard equipment because Jenson's style requires that the car behave consistently, unlike the style of, say, Lewis, which is reactionary.

Hence, it's hard to fix the drawbacks without also doing away with the things I like most about him.

Hmm, to some extent I agree with this. But ideally I think I would sacrifice a bit of Jenson's smoothness for a bit more Lewis-style adaptability and aggression.

He is an amazing talent, being able to conserve his tyres and also being able to drive past people with out a sweat but given in 2009, when he was in Brazil, People said he doesn't deserve the title, but after that race everone said he deserves the F1 title. Because he was agressive and boy he didn't half put on a show for us?

Yes yes I am a Ferrari fan, But that's my team. My driver is JB He will race for Ferrari in 2012 any who

back on topic....He needs to be more agressive where it counts but try and be smooth through the rest of the race.

Try 2013, he's under contract for 2012.

However, JB Vs. FA is an almighty grudge match. Dates back to 2002/3. I for one would love to see Jenson make mincemeat out of the man who stalled his career.

Just return Michael Schumacher back to Ferrari.

And Fernando Alonso needs to improve.

That happens for me every year

I'd just like Lewis to Calm Down abit, he lost the title in 07 though panic and almost lost it several times in 08 though going "omfg i just go overtaken rwaaaaaaaar!!" i.e Brazil 07, Japan 08.

When he's not looking though the red mist hes unbeatable.

As For Jenson i agree with what JB Said he just needs to be able to use the range of the tires faster so, turn them on quickly and make them last the way he does so he gets more of an advantage from his smooth driving.

He is an amazing talent, being able to conserve his tyres and also being able to drive past people with out a sweat but given in 2009, when he was in Brazil, People said he doesn't deserve the title, but after that race everone said he deserves the F1 title.

back on topic....He needs to be more agressive where it counts but try and be smooth through the rest of the race.

I rarely met someone that liked Jenson best. It is nice to meet one.

Ever since 2008 JB started to impress me.From 2009 he reached the top 5 in many seasons.
