JV another Rene Arnoux?

 A once great driver who is destroying whatever reputation he may have had by
refusing to move over. Anyone agree?

That sounds right to me although we won't be absolutely sure of it
until he retires because, like DC, every new day could be "his day"

I'm starting to think he'll remain in the team. Yes, he's horrendous, but
how's the amount of camera time he gets?! He's certainly great exposure for
Sauber's sponsors no matter how bad he drives. Meanwhile the team can
concentrate on Massa's car, who I think might score some solid points this
year..

You're hangin wit da wrong crowd if you like JV. He has a mouth and uses it.
Drivers should be obedient and silent. like Michael. If you watch post race
press conferences of him going back to 1992, he says exactly the same thing
during each one, using the same words, varying the content slightly only in
their order.

It gets the fans excited.

Not sure about the "once great driver", he once had a great car, which
allowed him to beat MS.
I do not think he should pull over and let people pass him just because them
might be quicker than him, unless of course he is being lapped. The fault
lies in the cars or drivers not being able to overtake even when they are 3
seconds a lap quicker, that's hardly JV's fault, and he is just doing what
comes naturally to any driver and getting the best result he legally can.

Bollocks. When you're being lapped, you should pull over to let them through.
"Saying that he getting the best result he legally can" demonstrates your
ignorance. When he's being lapped, he's not improving his situation by
blocking.

He was a great driver in his prime, but that's over now. His accomplishments
before he came to F1 and for the first 2 years in F1 speak for themselves.
Doubting his early ability is simply not paying attention to his early career.

When did he block anyone in this race, while being lapped ? Where i
saw, he moved the hell out of everyone's way quite nicely and this was
even observed by the commentators..

Bollocks. He was a great name, and a flash in the pan. That is not a
"great driver".
Even DC and Rubens are 'greater' drivers, despite never winning a
championship they were always near the top of the rankings.. JV, since
leaving the all conquering Williams is near the top of what ? Oh yeah,
the scrap heap.

Nope...hate his guts.

I assume we're talking about JV holding up DC. The real problem - as
Martin Brundle pointed out - was bad marshalling. For some reason the
marshalls weren't showing JV blue flags.

Now the rules say you must move over on the 3rd blue flag. JV didn't
get that 3rd flag for a long time and so there was no requirement in
terms of the laws for him to move over.

As for "he should have done the decent thing"... well, ANY driver on
that grid (except possibly the Minardi guys who expect to get lapped)
would have said something like "I didn't see blue flags and so I had no
idea I was being lapped".

<Conspiracy Alert!!> :-)­

I don't know whether you've noticed, but during races held in Italy,
the marshalls are incredibly quick to show blue flags to back-markers
soon to be lapped by the Ferraris, and sometimes are a tad tardy
showing the blue if a car leading a Ferrari is catching a
back-marker.. Human nature, they're fans as well as marshalls..

Interesting that DC was just ahead of Mark Webber.. Allowing JV to
hold DC up for a while was improving MW's chances.. Oz marshalls, Oz
driver.. Why should they be any less enthusiastic as the Italians??

Agreed.. It was obvious from the radio intercepts that they put on the
TV that, for example, Alonso hadn't the faintest idea whether he was
racing Barrichello for position, or, for that matter, what position he
himself was in.. Sorting out which is a lapping car (other than last
year when it was a red one) in those pathetic little mirrors is too
much to ask of any driver.

Well what if the driver being lapped is involved in a close race with
another car? If he's required to move off the racing line then he must
damage his own race.

If you are reffering to when he held up DC, the marshalls where quite
slow to react. As it should be obvious after hearing Alonso's radio,
after a while drivers have no idea who is in front or behind them. Blue
flags are there to tell drivers that they are being lapped, not racing
for position. I guess you missed the other times where he moved over
without causing any troubles? You can blame him for a complete lack of
pace during that race, but not for marshalling errors.

"...racing with a back marker"? How is that racing?

I have no problem when there is a position involved. JV, Minardi, or anyone
else is under no obligation to let the "quicker" car by even if the outcome
is "inevitable". But to suggest that backmarkers should block to make for a
better "show".... well that's just crazy not mention downright dangerous.

I've always enjoyed watching JV and I think he gets a bad rap here too
often. He's got great car control as once again evidenced by his recovery
from that spin on Saturday. Not the first time I've seen him do stuff like
that.

He gets knocked for not pushing hard when the car is not up to it and to a
certain extent that is true. However in most drivers that is usually
considered a mark of maturity. And when he does have confidence in the car
there are few more aggressive.

BTW, I enjoy watching Schumacher too....

No... they shouldn't block anyone - same rules as for any pass. But they
shouldn't head for the hills and hide because faster cars are behind them
and some doink on the sidelines is waving a flag at them. Let the faster
cars pass the slower ones, if they can. It's a race. Let them race. If the
faster cars are held up for a few laps while the driver makes the pass, then
great! It has slowed the cars down. If it is too dangerous to race, pack up
the bags and call it a day. It is just glorified testing in that case.
