Bernie has a go at the top-five

Just as an adjunct to the top-five drivers thread which we will close on Tuesday morning (9.00am French time), here are the views of Bernie Ecclestone who has seen a lot of drivers come and go over the years. Along with his choices are some comments from him. On Felipe he did not say much only because we forgot to discuss him in detail. Apologies for that. (However I know he is a big fan of Felipe. When he made his initial selection he named a couple of drivers and then said "Massa, for sure"). His view of Robert is interesting and suggests, possibly, that he should be ranked above Lewis.

1. Fernando
"If he was still in a McLaren he would be showing Lewis the way home - I don't think there is any doubt about that. I never asked the guy - I'm going to ask him one day - when he signed for McLaren, whether he was told he was number one. Because if he didn't ask and he wasn't told, he would have assumed he was. Having a guy that's never been in a F1 car in the team with him, he'd expect to be number one wouldn't he? And that's what the problem was. When he found out, although he should have been number one, of course he wasn't."

2. Lewis
"The difference with Lewis is that, last year he didn't have to prove himself because he was the new kid on the block and he wasn't expected to finish a race. This year, people say he should have won the world championship last year, and therefore he's under pressure to make sure he does it this year."

3. Kimi
"I think the problem with Kimi is his desire to win is perhaps not strong enough for him to do what it takes to win. And that's not just while he is in the car. Michael's desire to win was such that he would work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to improve the car so that he could win. That's the difference."

4. Robert
"If you saw him in a McLaren or a Ferrari, I think I'd put my money on him blowing away Hamilton."

5. Felipe
"Smashing guy."

I asked Bernie to name one other driver in a lesser car who had struck him as having the quality to make it to the top.

Sebastian Vettel: "I think he's a guy that could get the job done."

Al menos dos de sus actuales rivales batirían a Lewis Hamilton si dispusieran del mismo coche que el piloto británico.

Así lo cree al menos el Jefe Ejecutivo de la F1, Bernie Ecclestone, que en declaraciones al diario The Times ha asegurado que Fernando Alonso es actualmente el mejor piloto de la parrilla.

"Si continuara en McLaren estaría superando a Lewis, no creo que le queda duda de eso a nadie," afirmaba Ecclestone.

Bernie dijo simpatizar con Alonso, que este año ha vuelto a Renault después de los problemas que la pasada temporada tuvo en McLaren con su entonces compañero Lewis Hamilton.

"La verdad es que nunca le pregunté – un día lo haré – si en algún momento le dijeron (en McLaren) que él iba a ser el número uno.

"Porque si él no lo preguntó y tampoco se lo dijeron, supongo que dio por hecho que era así.
Teniendo como compañero a un piloto novato en la F1, es lógico que así lo esperara."

"Y ése fue el problema. Cuando llegó allí, aunque debería haber sido el número uno, está claro que no lo fue," añadía Ecclestone.

El patrón de la F1 también ha elogiado al actual líder del Campeonato, Robert Kubica, del que también tiene un muy buen concepto.

"Si se subiera a un McLaren o a un Ferrari, creo que apostaría mi dinero a que podría con Hamilton," concluía Ecclestone.

Ya aprovechó Alonso pa arrearle también :D

"The errors don't surprise me," Alonso claimed, "The results that were strange were the nine podiums in his first nine races last year - that required some element of luck, and wasn't all down to the driver. This year is more normal."

Vettel es el futuro de Ferrari.

Bernie es super hábil en hacer bulla para atraer atención a la F1, el mae dice lo que le conviene y dentro de 5 meses puede que tenga una opinión completamente diferente, según sea la necesidad.
