interesting I do have a lot of admiration for his determination to succeed he just never seems to do the business though. I am sure his knowledge will be a great asset to Red Bull though

That combination would make for a great mini-cab service (assuming you don't mind arriving late)

Just because it took Mansell and Hill a few years doesn't mean that DC's time is to come. Mansell and Hill didn't have 7 years using what was almost the most competitive car out there yet still fail time after time. I believe the main reason people 'support' him is because he is British, not because he's some great driver on the brink. Let's face it, Ralph is more talented and somewhat underachieves (although not as much as DC) but few people (here anyway) are in great support of him. Ralph will probably go on to get good results, DC however probably won't. Simple 'fact' of the matter is Ralph is more talented (although will always be in the shadow of a certain brother )

DC's a good driver but not a great one. There's a few great drivers about at the mo so the only room for good ones are for those that are young. Time to retire imo.
