PT lost titles by being fast but erratic and inconsistant. Bruno lost them (against a weaker field and with a stronger team around him) by being consistant but nto qutie fast enough. Once again, it's easier to tidy up speed than to speed up tidiness.
If da Matta's available, the only reason for keeping Bruno on would be contractual, as I'm sure either Cristiano or Seb (usually both) would be faster than him on any given day, and at least one would get the result. |

Junqueira does seem to lack that slight edge which distinguishes the good from the great. Maybe it's a mental thing; after all, it's starting to look as if Junqueira might never make it to F1. He's, what, 28, and hasn't been seriously linked to any openings for 2005, so by 2006 he'll have been overtaken by a younger generation which includes Bourdais but also people like Liuzzi, Kovalainen, Davidson, Piquet Jr, Rosberg Jr... Perhaps Junqueira needs to make that mental adjustment and settle in for the long haul in Champ Cars.

I always argue that in 2002 Carpentier put in a better performance in a lesser car than Bruno and was the more appropriate #2.

Oh brother! Talk to me when you all have strapped your butts into a car, won a few races, and have finished so highly in points 3 years running!
I will agree that IF CdM returns to CC and MAYBE with N-H, Bruno will need to be more agressive. THAT I will give you. |

He needs to be more aggressive against Seb. And remind me how many ChampCar races you've won? If you need to have achieved somethign yourself to pass any kind of comment, this'd be a quiet forum.
