Plus, a good driver can win when the car is perfect. A great driver can win when the car isn’t the best. That is what they lost when Alonso left. He could set up a car, and it is obvious Lewis is still learning about that.

Ron’s mistake was not learning from the past — he should never have let the Lewis/Fernando feud lead to Alonso leaving the team. He was unprepared to replace him, and Lewis wasn’t ready to be a team leader.

Of course, I don’t think Ron expected Juan Pablo to leave when he did, and thus didn’t expect to have to promote Lewis so soon.

cd’s last blog post..IndyCar aiming to open up the shop?

Yeap, that’s right to say about they’re youngseters, not more rookies, but really lacking expirience. Rosberg is beginning to show great pace, and is his 3rd year, but also lacks of much expirience. What did in McLaren expect from a couple of drivers that did their first year with success but with terrible msitakes also. A good driver, more or less is stable. And they’re not…

Anyway, what McLaren lacks nowadays is freedom of movement, not because of the ban from last year, just because the drivers aren’t such ones which takes the entire development of the car. Thaks god they have Pedro de la Rosa, not the fastest (maters of age), but somebody who works terrible hard to bring the performance. I guess Hamilton and Kovalainen keep doing as last year, study tracks in the simulator and find out their driving style in formula 1, sharing some opinions about their feelings with the car, look telemetry and find out their mistakes and not much more… That’s certainly not enough to develop the car, they should come with their needs, testing components and after showing interest for this one which gave them the best feeling, they should almost work for the engineers understanding during all year, and after this, in some weekends there’re races also.

Seems the drivers doesn’t even know well the rules of the game. That’s about the ammount of penalities the team already recieved this season.
