I think I recall the Premiere (now Sky Germany) commentators, among them Sven Heidfeld, saying as much regarding the race car types and adaptation needed between them.

As i said previously, i think Nico is an exceptional talent and Germany may well find themselves with the best 2 drivers on the grid in the future! But for Nico to become the Senna to Seb's Piquet, he has has to do some winning etc and if Nico has 5 win's, 9 podiums, 5 poles and 125 points in his first 43 races i'll eat my hat! |

About 15 years ago karting in Germany became more popular for some reason.

Nico doens't exactly lack pace. F1 is much more that having fast reflexes and flying quick around chicanes and hairpins. I believe that he will learn next year from Rubinho a lot of strategy and car setup.

Hülkenberg's last two seasons were very interesting. In both seasons he struggled a bit at the beginning, but then there came races where he was way faster than everyone else and just seemed untouchable.
But remember, every time he won he was in top material. He drove F3 for ART, and except for the first Euroseries season which was won by Briscoe/Prema, every year an ART driver finished on top. This was also his third year in F3 - his first year was in German F3, and it was pretty unimpressive, as he was far behind champion... Ho-Pin Tung! Personally I don't think he is as good as Vettel, and his first F1 season in a mediocre car against the most experienced teammate you could ever have in F1 history won't be easy. |

Does it matter. I doubt if Williams are any longer capable of producing a car capable of more than the occaisional podium. I doubt if it will be the Cosworth holding them back, but that will be the excuse.
People seem to be talking as if the Hulk is inexperienced. He has F3, A1GP and GP2 titles behind him, he has a year around the Williams factory and will have more raport with the engineers than Rubens at the start of the season and he will have less initial pressure on him. The challenge is for Rubens to finish ahead of him at some stage of the year. |

Am really keen on seeing how The Hulk does. Then again, I tipped Pizzonia for big things in F1 after he demolished the opposition in Formula Renault.

Yeh Pizzonia was a really bizzare case.

Despite his enthusiasm for the move i think Rubinho will soon realise that Williams will not be providing him with a car capable of reprising his 2009 season and it will be than that the rot sets in. Will he really have the motivation after all this time to trundle round without the chance of a win. I somehow doubt it and this will be when we see his head drop and Hulkenberg will gain the advantage. If by some miracle Williams produce a winning car than i suspect Ruben's will pick up where he left off with Brawn and be very hard to challenge.

I think Hulkenberg is going to start strong and finish ahead of Barichello - come on The Hulk!!

It really depends on the car and how receptive the team is to making changes to suit Barrichello.
If they centre the car around Reubens, and its a good one, he could spring a few surprises. But Sam Michael is not Ross Brawn and all Reuben's real success has come when Reuben was getting the attention from Ross Brawn that he thought he deserved...... at both teams. If Hulkenberg gets it right in the beginning and aces reubens then I think Reubens will be lucky to see out the two years at Williams. He will work hard but will not enjoy it. |

I think people are comparing Hulk to second coming of Jesus!
I seem to remember his tests in a F1 car were a bit of a mess and Sam Michaels wasnt exactly impressed as he smashed them up. |

I seem to remember that Hamilton binned his McLaren on his first test.

True enough, Hülkenberg's very first F1 tests haven't set the world alight. Subsequent tests have been much better though and he has matured and progressed during the past two years.
He'll do just fine. |

I'm just excited to see such a great young prospect in my favourite car next season.
Depending on how good the Cosworth engine turns out to be and depending on if we can finally build a race winning car again it could go either way. I think if Rubens is given a car capable of challenging for the podium then he will show Hulk the way for the early parts of the season but once young Nico gets to grips with driving in race situations in an F1 car he will start to push Ruebns and possibly surpass him in the WDC. Whatever happens I'm looking forward to seeing 2 competitive drivers pushing each other to their limits. Bring on the 2010 season!!!! |
