My exact thoughts, my first thought was he could be a decent 'Barrichello', but he just isn't

Barrichello was slow this race. He lost 13s to Raikkonen in the second stint and was losing 0.8-1.0s a lap to Button before the SC came out

See how bad heikki is, he still hasn't overhauled Massa in the point and Massa hasn't driven in 6 races and Mclaren has a totally superior car to the Ferrari

At some circuits yes, at some no. But yes, Heikki is really throwing away his seat at McLaren in record speed

Eddie Jordan just makes me cringe. for someone who worked in F1so long he asks some really stupid questions.

Massa just drove into Hamilton, and totally off track, Heikki was at least with 2 wheels on track, but yes, he deserved a penalty for that, although Massa's action was a lot worse IMO :zz:
