Rather a stupid comment to make about the guy likely to be your team-mate next season, but then he is Australian. Heidfeld has been quick in testing for Williams and as Pizzonia outpaced Webber last week he should count himself lucky he's likely to get jungle boy alongside him. Your highest finish is 5th Mark, shut up and concentrate on your driving!

No I think it's good to hear that, too many robot's toeing the company line and being sponsor happy. Yes they have to do that but a little spark is needed sometimes. Do you think Piquet & Mansell really liked each other in 86-87 at Williams? Because Frank & Patrick never put a stop to their bickering, public or private. Alan Jones in 79-80 was also a talk first, punch later type, Frank loved Alan for it too as it made him a strong character in the car and he won the first drivers Championship for them too of course.

I don't think Pizzonia is going be anything but mediocre in a Williams if he races next year, I don't think Webber will either as it's not only the weakest driver lineup at Williams since 1977 but their long term test driver (Marc Gene) has gone to Ferrari. Heidfeld would be a better bet than Pizzonia so would Davidson, Verstappen, Piquet Jnr, or my mother and she can't drive.

If Webber had the ability of a Piquet, Mansell, Prost or Senna then fair enough. But he hasn't, and to make comments like that about somebody who is known to be very average, yet who has been outpacing him, makes him look a total prat IHMO.
