Yay!!! A new all time record!!!
And stop the clocks...its Jan 11th and we have our first "why its Davids year" quote from Autosport and thats a record. They usually wait until at least February to tell us this:
"David Coulthard is more determined than ever to win his first World Championship title and prove his doubters wrong once and for all." |

No, it'll be his year.
The Minardi will have made a mammoth improvement over the next 12 months! |

How many times has he said this? Since '97? Serious question...

Every single year as far as I can tell and with each passing year he makes himself look more and more stupid.

I don't think there ever WILL be a 'David' year, British magazines are just trying to hype us Brits up because he's the Brit in the best position to do well. But he won't, and we're gonna have to wait a while until we get a championship contender again (we have Wilson and Button getting there!!)

I am also of the opinion that David is going to have an even tougher time with Kimi this season, which I also suspect will be his last in the McLaren.

Here's hoping, and then perhaps they'll get someone with talent in the car. I hear JV's looking for a seat...

I don't see what the problem with DC saying "this is the year"
What would be the point if he came out and said every year 'no hope, I can't win' - that'd be a defeatist attitude, at least he is being optimistic. You can't win unless you tell yourself you can... That said, I can't see it happening, but it's nice to keep positive. Last edited by DNQ; 12 Jan 2003 at 02:09. |

I think there is a good chance JV could take DC's seat in 2004 if he and Kimi don't show the goods this year.

Doesn't it seem sad that drivers like Fisichella, Coultard, Barrichello, and Ralf all have secure seats in F1, despite having had race winning cars for many more seasons than Jacques, yet failing to chalk up as many wins as he (let alone a WDC) that it is Jacques who doesn't have a drive in F1??? Sad indeed. |

Do you really believe that DC is that bad? I dont think he is a poor racer, he just lacks the edge that someone like MS has. I think he could do it unger the right circumstances. Yeah, the circumstances would have to be "more right" than for GF but I still think he is "good enough".
Yes, he says that every year. In fact I think the press just runs the same story every year now. Change the dates and the wording a little and thats it. |

JV's going back to CART. Craig Pollack is going to announce his new Champcar team shortly, and no one's going to hire Jacques in F1 at the salary he demands. Fisi's not someone you immediatly think of driving a McLaren, but he'll be on the market, and is highly rated throughout the paddock. Last edited by Lee Janotta; 12 Jan 2003 at 07:05. |

This is a pathetic thread.
Mclaren seem confident of closing the gap to Ferrari, so their drivers are therfore entitled to make posative noises. Calling DC a w***** is just pathetic. Grow up. |

Yes - we are done calling drivers names like that thankyou. I have no problem with the topic (god knows every driver gets critism) but comments like that are not welcome on this forum, regardless of the driver.

You have got to admit that DC is a Good driver, you don't get to win 10 races if you're not good. What DC isn't is true WDC material, he'll always be beaten by a "star" driver over the course of a season. 1999 was his best chance to be champion and he was beaten not just by Mika, but by Irvine as well (this is not meant to infer that Eddie is a star driver).
As to DC being replaced, thats another matter. Look at it from McLaren's point of view, in Kimi they have another future star and in DC they have probably the best No2 driver in the championship at the moment. He knows the team and the way that they work, so why would they want JV who won't follow the company line and will probably only be around for another couple of years? I'm beginning to believe that DC will stay at McLaren for another couple of years until Lewis Hamilton is ready to make the step up to F1 |

"Ron Dennis actually:
- made it to F1 - worked with DC up close for 7 years - has access to DC's telemetry - knows what DC contributes to his team - knows what is going on in his team - has a vested interest in McLaren success - worked with many WDCs - puts his money where his mouth his by paying DC millions of $ to drive his cars I suggest that you should write to him (ron.dennis@mclaren.com) and explain to him that from the comfort of your armchair, you have managed to see that DC is a "w@nk3r" while he (along with Martin Whitmarsh, Norbert Haugh and Professor Hubble) miserably failed." You've got to be KIDDING right?? David's there for the promo work at stuff all else-which is precicely how much cahnce he's got of being champ-next year,last year or ANY year. "I don't see what the problem with DC saying "this is the year" What would be the point if he came out and said every year 'no hope, I can't win' - that'd be a defeatist attitude, at least he is being optimistic. You can't win unless you tell yourself you can... " Here we go again.Every year someone says this.How about he says nothing.Wouldn't that be alot less insulting to the intelligence of the fans....?? |
