Q: We all know he's talented, but he's had a horrible 17 DNF's since 2005, he hasn't finished in the top ten in points since 2003 nor has be won a single race since that time either. Yes, I know it's all been with the perennial backmarker team, Red Bull, but still.... Unless Bernie is paying him to crash in some spectacular fashion each race to bring some added excitement to each race, I think he needs to go. Time for him to retire from the sport as a driver?
A: Remember that Mateschitz wasn't convinced about him early on but here's DC, still blazing around F1 circuits. At least as quick as Webber - and consistently scores more points. And Webber is no slouch (though he has been described as a bit of moving chicane by some). If the RB4 can show a bit of strength to go with its speed, DC'll be there and thereabouts this season. Would have been in for 5th/6th last weekend if Flippy hadn't done his kamikaze act.
