2008 F1 Season

[m3gtr]

Well in shitty news of the week we have Heikki confirmed at McLaren next season. I like Heikki and he seems to have some talent, but he is consistantly nowhere compared to his team mate and is being blown away by the Ferraris and questionable against the BMWs.

Was really hoping that a more ambitious driver woudl get the nod for next year, someone liek Rosberg that wouldnt take getting beaten by Lewis so well and try, try, try. Heikki seems content to be getting his bum handed to him race after race. The old "first guy you have to beat is your team mate" makes for some entertainment as a spectator

That makes no sense no matter which way you look at it...

Heikki should not be there next year.

If he was on a 2 or 3yr deal then i understand that they would keep him. But the fact he was only a one year deal, well he hasnt done a terribly good job. Ideally you would want to be orchestrating 1-2s as McLaren has obviously had the pace to do so at several races this year.

STR and Berger are obviously keeping their options open for next year hoping that Alonso and a move to Honda or BMW could leave an experienced and talented guy on the market.

It would have been worthwhile waiting and seeing what happens with Alonso, Kubica, Heidfeld and Button. All would be capable of doing a better job in my opinion

Yeh, they swapped it over for the end of the session. Looks pretty even up top for the time being. Hopefully BMW can get in the mix as well
