Fizze vs Trulli vs Kimi!!
Very impressed with Fizze at Spa,and he seemed quite confident at the press conference,more confidence more success,don`t believe it,check out Mika.
Trulli is a qualifing dangerman,but still unknown if you ask me. Kimi overtook Jacques at Spa,he is the rookie of the year in my view. And shows non stop maturity for any age. My question is...who will take WDC first and why. |

I think they are all equally talented. As for who will win first... Well, Fisi is going back to Jordan, and if he stays there, he won't be WDC anytime soon. Trulli at Renault, however, may be a threat in a year or two (assuming Ferrari and MS don't continue their current dominant form).
As for Raikonnen, well, that depends where he ends up. If he ends up at Ferrari, then as long as Michael is there (and Weber is now saying he might drive into his 40's), Kimi won't win. If he ends up with a strong non-Ferrari drive, or if Michael retires, then I see him as the earliest of the three to get a WDC. |

Kimi. That kid has so much upside, it's sick. Just imagine how good he'll be with a couple of years under his belt.
Fisi may may some races/podiums at Jordan but I don't he'll ever be WDC. Jordan even with Honda input, will not produce a car capable of winning the championship any time soon. Trulli. If the championship was based on a series of qualifiyers then race. But that guy can't race to save his life. |

They are all talented, in fact I'm convinced that Fisichella could have been WDC by now if only he'd had a decent drive.
But the car is everything and Raikkonen may be the first to find himself ina really top drive. I would rate Trulli's chances next, but it will depend as much on how well Renault finds the winning way again. Poor Fisi may be slated for obscurity unless Honda pull it all together. |

the future is bright you have Montoya and his outright pace and bravery, Raikonenn's speed and skill, schumi's confidence and tactical abilities, Trulli's qualifying pace and hopefully race pace soon, fisichella's experiance and car control and finally heidfeld's speed and maturity...you have like 6 great talents the wave has hit!!!
it will never surpass the late seventies Villeneuve, Piquet, Hunt, Lauda, reutmann, pirioni, andretti, scheckter, jones, patrese etc. |

I'd say Kimi. Even though he's the youngest and the least experienced, he has a tremendous amount of natural ability and he seems to be more likely to get into a car to match his ability before Trulli or Fisichella do. Trulli is heading off to Renault, which might be good in the long term but he won't see any results for quite some time. And if Jordan and Honda don't get their act together, Fisichella will be lucky to see any wins in the next 3 seasons. Whereas Kimi has been linked to both Ferrari and McLaren, and as soon as he gets in one of those cars he will be winning.

I believe all three drivers are wonderful, and all three would win the WDC if they were in the right team at the right time. Which means, who will be in the right team at the right time? I believe it will be Trulli at Renault. |

As soon as Renault starts winning they usually dont stop with it for a long time...lol. That's why I see Trulli with the best chances for the moment.
Kimi, if he ends up in a McLaren as some rumours are assuming, could beat Jarno's chances. But I doubt that Sauber will provide him a real top car so soon. Fisico is fast and although many people seem to understimate him because they always forget about his podium races very quickly, he can win a WDC. But at Jordan? Nope, Jordan is a good and fast upper midfield team, maby good enough to win occasionally, but I doubt that Eddie Jordan is professionally enough to win an F1 championship. Best regards, Julian |

I want to know why JPM hasn't been added to these three names. Surely he is also a contender??? But understanding how hated he is by a majority of the forum (for reasons that I don't understand) I'm not overly surprised.
To answer the question, I agree that Fisichella would at least be a race winner by now, for sure, as he is naturally talented but has been wasted at Benetton since joining in 1998. However, if the Jordan-Honda package is good next year, then Fisichella may earn a first, and long overdure, first win. Trulli is full of potential, and shows awesome speed, but seems to go to sleep on the Sunday race-time. It appears he drives the car, but doesn't always attack 100% of the time. Maybe it's to do with the fact that the Jordan is soooooo unreliable, such as in Belgium. As for Kimi, this guy is a team owners dream. Young and fast, the only thing going against him at the moment is.............. I don't think joining Ferrari now is the right move, as TGF is still entrenched there. However, if he joined in 2004 in TGF's last season, and learned the ropes, then Kimi would certainly be a WDC. |
