He should be classed as one of the 'worst' Nakajima has done pretty well in Qually etc.

Uh. What? In a vastly superior car, Kazuki has not managed to break in to Q3. How is that good?

He is doing far better than Kovvy.... So there you have it, atleast Nakajima is setting bench marks, Kovvy can't even make it round corner

you really don't like Mclaren do you?

[Jamie]

Course I do, I used to support them when Kimi was there? I think there a well-organised tem that have been great competitors with the likes of Mika, David, and Kimi & Lewis? I just think Kovvy hasn't had a good start? But Lewis has made the best of his car

Australia Q2 Times

5. Rosberg 1:25.123
13. Nakajima 1:25.607
14. Kovalainen 1:25.726

Malaysia Q2 Times

6. Rosberg 1:34.547
12. Nakajima 1:34.788
13. Hamilton 1:34.905
14. Kovalainen 1:34.924


When you take in to consideration the fact that the Williams is so much faster than the McLaren, Kazuki is not doing spectacularly. And for the sake of comparison, I've thrown in Hamilton's time. Kovalainen is at least on his team-mate's pace during qualifying, whereas Nakajima is not.

Thank you for that . . . . . . . I see were you are coming from, in Practice he did not do too bad.....

[racechick]

the guy doing this scoring takeas quali into account too, its why Webbers in and not vettel. Webber outpaced him in both quali's if you adjust the fuel

Because practise does not show a driver's or car's true pace because they sandbag! The times don't mean to much in practise just look at Malaysia Ferrari looked like they had some pace by coming first in Friday practise 2 then they got completely beaten by Brawn, Toyota, Williams and Red Bull.

Yer i see what you mean, still Vettel is topping my list at the mo

[racechick]

In Autosport the drivers are scored out of 10 for their performance in the GP. It's done by Ed Straw the editor. They stopped doing it for a few years becuause of the controvosy it caused but its back!!.
Ive taken the top 3 scores(more if there's a tie) and the botton 3 scores, form each race to see how the drivers are doing. This is how it comes out

Australia
Top Scorers
Hamilton 9/10
Alonso 9/10
Button 9/10

Worst Scorers
Piquet 3/10
Nakajima 4/10
Heidfeld 5/10
Fisichella 5/10


Malaysia
Top scorers
Hamilton 9/10
Trulli 9/10
Webber 9/10
Button 9/10

Worst Scorers
Piquet 4/10
Nakajima 4/10
Kovalainen 5/10
Fisichella 5/10

So currently Button and Hamilton are joint top(Being highest scorers twice) and Piquet Fisichella and Nakajima are bottom (Being lowest scorers twicw)

There is a short paragraph in the magazine on each driver to justify the scoring. Just a bit of fun, but it will be interesting to look at it at the end of the season to see how it compares to the finishing order(Taking the car into account of course.)
If I remember I'll update it after each race.

China results from autosport
Best
Vettel 10/10
Webber 9/10
There were a whole lot on 8 so i just put the two top scorers this week


Worst
Piquet 1/10
Fisichella 2/10
Nakajama 2/10

So Hamilton and Button are joind at the top by Webber. All 3 being top scorers twice.
Fisi, Piquet and Nakajama cofirm themselves as worst, in the last three every race.
