What a pathetic end to what started out as a dream career (remember Jacques was on pole for his first F1 race).<ul><li><a href="http://f1.racing-live.com/en/headlines/news/detail/030922123329.shtml">http://f1.racing-live.com/en/headlines/news/detail/030922123329.shtml</a</li></ul>

Default Atlas F1 says the exact opposite !!!!

http://www.atlasf1.com/

But in JV's defense he did say at the start of the season that if he couldn't outqualify his "weak" team mate Button he would be out of F1.

That's the only CORRECT thing JV has said all year. Button has kicked his *** and in two more races he WILL BE OUT OF F1.

Regards,

Jon

Default Thanks for the links. Here is my take. I think Takuma said something before he was supposed to and

got in trouble from either Honda, BAR or Dave Richards and now is back-pedaling. In any event, as jons355 states, in two races it will all be over for Jacques one way or another.

Default The suffering is about to begin if you're a BAR mechanic or fan. . .

Sato is a sub-par driver at best, but attractive to sponosors, just as Alex Yoong was for Minardi. Let's pretend the rumors are true - honda wants Sato for the Japanese GP because he's a Japanese driver. I just hope he doesn't fvck someone over in Japan if it comes down to the last race. As far as skill is concerned, he can't carry Jacque's jock strap. That said, Jacques was a big disappointment. Bad choices were made, but I do think he could be competitive in another car.

Sato dominated F3 and only got one season in F1 with the terrible Jordan car of 2002. A bit early to claim he is sub par.

JV like Damon Hill would have never won the World Title had he not been in a vastly superior car, the Williams FW (19?)

Jenson kicked his but and it's time JV moved on!

Default Sato has also outqualified Fisichella numbers of times.

And Fisichella is a much better driver then JV.
