Quote from joen :

I saw an interview with Montoya for Dutch television, I believe it was last season. The interviewer asked him about the process of setting up the car and about the feedback he gives to the team in order to develop the car further.

He just said that he did nothing about that, and that he doesn't see it as his job to help develop the car. He said that's the job of the engineers, aerodynamic specialists, the engine builder... While ofcourse that is their job, it would seem to me that the drivers play a role in the process also. He said he just wants a car that's fast and suited to his driving style, and then he will get good results.

To me, that passive attitude makes Montoya an incomplete driver and not worth a place in Formula 1.

He obviously plays some part in the development of the car since he has a few different parts to Kimi like his front wing is designed differently to suit his driving style.

I very much like Montoya but I'm disappointed with him this season and most of the last.

On the topic of Button I'm not to sure on his ability in the car or with the PR He seems to be coming out with "I'll be win this race" etc and then ends up falling flat on his face. Becky has hit the nail on the head; he has never had a team mate who you can compare him with. Now Rubens is up to speed he has so far put Button on his back foot.

Hell that car in 2004 could have been driven to a championship victory in the hands of Kimi for all we know. Button may be smooth behind the wheel but I've seen plenty of people drive smoothly and hit the corners right lap after lap but where they lost out to everyone else was there ability to push the kart hard

if so they are new for this year, i was involved in taking them off the truck its amazing how many u can fit in one lorry! so hopefully still reasonably equal

I wouldn't say that quite so soon my old local club got some new pro-karts not long ago. The first one I jumped into the front hub was so badly bent that it was pulling to one side all the way down the stright and vibrating viloentley couldn't even begin to imagine doing 2 hours in that illepall

Web Developer - very useful

This is the most pointless improvement I've ever seen :s

I couldn't care less if the car had no exhaust modelled onto it, there are plenty of other better improvements to be working on than some stupid 3D cylinder .
