I think he lost the self-proclamied Iceman title when he shoved the track worker a couple years ago. and again this last year with his temper after scattering his engine all over the track for the 5th race in a row.
JPM is aggressive and that's what McLaren needs. Coulthard was too much of a pussy to really be a threat anymore. Hopefully with 2 aggressive drivers, Ferrari will be watching them a bit more closely. Especially with Montoya's wreck history.
I think Mercede's might beat BMW this year but they won't beat Ferrari. Barrichello and Schumacher are a force to be reckoned with in their own right. And now that Barricello has shown that he can at least keep up with Schumacher, i think that it's going to be another great year for the Tifosi.
BMW is stuck with young drivers that were in inferior cars in every sense of the word. They are very talented, don't get me wrong. but i am honestly not expecting much from the Blue and White this year
I expect the P85 engine to be just as potent as it's predecessor, but if you get a driver that is scared to tap it's power, it's not going to look very good at all. Hopefully they have gotten familiar with the cars over the winter testing period.
