Comments
Haven't impressed: M$, JPM, Fisico, Ralf
Undecided/waiting to see more before judging: the rest of the drivers !!!
[Edited on 23/5/2005 by Minardus]
Our own Rookie Pat F is showing good signs too I think.
JPM, Villeneuve and Ralf look Poor to say the least. My jury is out on Webber and Heidfeld maybe Williams have started to turn it around.
Not impressive: anyone I don't like or who I think deserves some needling.
:rolleyes:
What a dumb thread.
not Impressive: M.S, Montoya, Liuzzi, Webbo
Owher team: Albers more impressive if you look at the whole season till now, Friesacher in Monaco and i hope he can keep this pace.
But i fear that Patrick is also like he did in F3000 not stable in his preformance:(
But i tell it again, for both drivers it's a year to learn!
For next race i think Albers will beat Patrick again like the races before Monaco, he won in 2003 in Nurburg and was 2 second last year.
Not Impressive: Massa, Montoya, Webber, Michael Schumacher, Rubens and Fisichella
Raikkonen, Alonso, most of all Trulli
Not impressive:
JPM, webber, Schu, most of all Villeneuve (breaks my heart to say it, but he shouldn't be there anymore)
Not Impressive - Sato, JPM, Massa and R Schumacher
not so impressive...
Fisico's alesilike bad luck impressed me.
Friesacher in Monaco impressed me.
Ferrari impressed me a lot.
The car impressed !!!!!
Admitted: Trulli qualified well.
BUT....... he didn't really race anybody (up untill Monaco).
He was free of pressure from behind and had no body in front of him to push !!!!
He has some great results this season, but without hard work in the races !!!!

(He DID break something on the car jumping over those kerbs)!
Ravlen
He sure did impress me !!!!!
RS is constantly outpaced by Trulli.
Monteiro is really far away from F1 standard, reminds me of fantastic names of the past like Gregor Foitek, Perry McCarthy or Ricardo Rosset.
BAR is the absolute mystery of the season. I hope Button's career will not be endangered, last year his season was incredible, and he deserves to fight for the championship.
Villeneuve should better retire.
Barrichello should better retire.
Coulthard is at the right place for him, and he's doing good. In a top team, where he had to compete directly with the big shots, all his limits emerged.
Wurz and De la Rosa impressed me a lot when they raced, but also JPM has had a great race in Monaco.
Trulli is the Arnoux of 2000, in the practice he is a real rocket, if he still drove a Renault this year he would have got 8-10 poles.
Fisichella is unlucky, but he is not fast enough to be a world chamipion.
Ascari, Fangio, Moss, Brabham, Hill (G), McLaren, Clarke, Hakkinen, Prost, Piquet (N), Villeneuve (G), Senna, to name a few.
Drivers who haven't:
Stoddart, Murray Walker, Brundle, Eddie the Eagle, My father, the Citizens of Paris, oh, heaps and heaps.
I reckon anyone who can pilot one of these things at 300 clicks and walk away with limbs intact and breathing, is pretty impressive.
Alonso
Not impressive: Monteiro, Liuzzi, Massa, Ralf, BAR team,
Fisichella (after race 1)
UNIMPRESSED: Liuzzi, Albers, BAR and Bridgestone.

This from Grandprix.com:
So far this year Ive been impressed with Alonso, Heidfeld, Karthikeyan, Klien (Major surprise),
DC, (He's stopped blaming his accidents on enything and everything except himself at last),
Trulli, Kimi, and of course Albers and Friesacher, who have both done wonderful jobs drivings what can best be described as a 4 wheeled Donkey (Must be so frustrating being lapped by everyone. Frequently. )
Unimpressed by Montiero (didnt expect anything else!),
Liuzzi (Must be the money),
Both Brothers Schuey,
JPM (I like his driving style though so Im hoping me improves)
Barrichello, (although it was nice to hear him angry for once after Monaco),
Jaques (Out of practice?)
Fissi (Expected better from him in a competitive car)
As for Jenson and Sato, They havent been on the track long enough to form an opinion:hehe:
Not so sure on Massa, but I dont think he'll ever amount to anything great
Trulli: nobody expected him to be three times on the podium
Kimi: for me he is the favourite for the Championship
DC: new team and he´s back, very impressive
Alonso: very constant for his age
Heidfeld: the team´s favourite is Webber, but Nick is doing the better job
not impressed:
Villeneuve: that guy was World Champion? His performance is just ridiculous.
Montoya: no chance against Kimi, he should go to another team as soon as possible
Rubens: good in Australia, since then 0 points in 5 races
