Barrichello vs Hülkenberg
So, who do you think will have the better of the other? The rookie or the evergreen? Who's going to emerge ahead at season's end?
My take: Hülkenberg will have a comparatively weak start, but will be Barrichello's equal by Sepang or Shanghai, slowly gaining an edge from there on. Yes, I'm betting on the rookie. |

I'm betting that Barrichello will take nearly half a season to get his brakes sorted out, and then blah! blah! blah! a bit mid-season onwards.
Hulkenberg will be another driver that is "championship material if only he'd stop making mistakes". |

I'd like to see a rejuvenated Rubens Barrichello in the 2010 Williams seat. Hopefully the confidence boost he undoubtedly received from being on the cusp of becoming a world champion (well, nearly) will roll into next season. As the eldest driver on the grid, he has shown that he has still got what it takes to win races and fight for championships, so hopefully he'll be given a car worthy of his talent and dedication.
As for Hülkenberg, despite his reputation I couldn't see him giving Barrichello a run for his money. Perhaps in the coming seasons, but not in his debut F1 year. |

Winning in GP2 is one thing, being competitive in F1 is something else.
However, Hulkenberg was so blisteringly and consistently good that my gut feeling says he will soon be close to Barrichello's pace after a few GP. I do think that for the first season, however, Rubens' experience will give him the upper hand. |

TBH I would expect such a thread to be started at least after a first race in 2010.
Now it's all about divination IMO |

A bit. But you can still make rough guesses. I remember debating on another forum about who would come out on top between Rubens and Jenson with some Rubens fans (just to prove I'm not always anti-Button )
I actually agree that Hulkenberg will do the business. The guy's got as good, if not a better junior record than Lewis. I think that there's a chance that by the end of the year, Vettel will become old hat and Nico will be the accepted new Schumacher. I don't think Rubens will be terrible - perhaps similar sort of form to DC in his later years, but Nico will just be better If there's one person who can put Williams back on the top step of the podium after 5 years, it's Nico Hulkenberg |

I'm looking forward to seeing how Hulkenberg gets on. He has four single seater titles to his name already so it's unlikely he'll be a slouch.

I think he will beat Barrichello, his racing 'CV' is pretty much a match for Hamilton's. FBMW ADAC champ, A1GP dominant champion, F3 Masters winner, F3 Euroseries dominant champ, and GP2 champ! He is one of the few drivers who come into F1 and you immediately expect him to shine, just like Lewis, Kubica, Vettel, Raikkonen, etc.

I don't know much about Hulkenberg, but his CV looks impressive. Surely there is no better yardstck in F1 than Barichello. If Hulkenberg matches Barichello, he has done very well indeed.

I have never followed his career, all I remember is him in A1GP and that people were very enthusiastic about him so must have been doing a good job there. His CV does look impressive - but still it's difficult to judge. All I can hope is that he will do as good as Hamilton, Vettel. Hopefully he'll get a good car to show that up. With regard to Rubens I've got mixed feelings. I like that guy, but he lacks something. He was nowhere near Button in the first half of the season. It was later when he started to do a good job. At least it looked like, but I don't know whether it was him ar the Button having difficulties with dealing with pressure. Ok, so If Herr Hulkenberg turns out to be another Herr Vettel than I am sorry for Rubens. Well, Satorian, what do you think about that? Did I get the thread right? |

There can be no doubt now that 2010 will be 'The hairy season'.

I think Hulkenberg will overshadow Vettel. He makes less mistakes. Even if Vettel wins a title, I think Nico will win 2. I think Vettel will become to Nico what Piquet was to Senna - the slightly older, lesser German
I'll make another wild(ish) prediction - the Cosworth will be the most powerful and best engine on the grid next year. They've had time to develop it this year which will give them a headstart |

Considering the guy has not turned a timed lap for any of us to see there are lots of praises being thrown at this guy.
I am just hoping he isnt a hack that putns cars into walls as Williams needs a change in fortunes SOON! |

I think it's always interesting to see how people assess a situation where information obviously isn't complete and how they approach it. Considerung that we rarely have complete information, I like reading people's ruminations. By the way, off-topic: I have family that should live near you. Distributed around Mikolow, Mokre and Tychy.
