DENNIS SLAMS 'USELESS' F1 DRIVERS

[The Stig]

Ron Dennis has fired a broadside at the F1 field by claiming that half of the rivers are "useless".

The McLaren team boss has not shied away from controversy despite the ongoing 'espionage scandal'.

Dennis told The People that most of the current grid are lucky to be in motorsport's premier formula.

He said: "Fifty percent of the grid is made up of useless drivers."

He also explained that Lewis Hamilton has "McLaren in his blood" and reiterated how the Woking team's recruitment policy led them to draft in the British star.

"We wanted a driver who was young and fresh, not a recycled driver coming from another team with the habits of another team," concluded Dennis.

did'nt stop him from getting
a recycled Alonso

[The Stig]

Well he is World Champion..?

[FW14B]

Sounds like he still hasn't gotten over Juan Pablo Montoya!  Still, I'd be interested to know which ones he considers to be good.  Would Wurz be in the good or bad 50%?

[The Stig]

I Know where i would put him.

[FW14B]

Do tell

F1 needs characters like Juan Pablo, drivers with a bit of passion for the sport, I know, your all going to come back at me saying " He could'nt have had that much passion 'cos he left "

[FW14B]

I really liked Montoya.  I heard a rumour that Sir Frank tried to get him back into a Williams for this year when he left McLaren.  I really would have been happy to see him back.

Now here's a bit of fun. We could elaborate on that discussion and vote our own Drivers that have it and drivers that don't.

HAVE ITs.

Alonso.
Hamilton.
Raikonen
Massa.
Heidfeld.
Kubica.
Fizi.
Kovalainen.
Weber.
Coulthard.
Rosberg.
Wurz.
Sato.
Davidson.
Trulli.

In no particular order but really there's no reason not to include Vettel, Sutil and even Ralf.

I'm finding it difficult to agree with Ron here.

[The Stig]

Alonso.
Hamilton.
Raikonen
Massa.
Heidfeld.
For Me.....

[FW14B]

Alonso.
Hamilton.
Raikonen
Massa.
Heidfeld.
For Me.....

I am inclined to agree with this list, but I'd add Nico Rosberg who is beginning to show what he is made of.

[Dare]

I'd almost think you'd have to put
the drivers in equal cars to judge
the haves and have nots

Massa did'nt look that impressive
at Sauber or even his first few races
at Ferrari

[Ian]

At least not until MS started coaching him Dare.

[FW14B]

You beat me to it Ian!

[Dare]

I think the Ferrari had a little to do with it
