I wish people would stop plugging on about Coulthard being faster than
Hill in the latter part of last season. Apart from the obvious remark
that the trick is to be quick and make no mistakes, psychology plays a
large part in F1 and DC started to perform well after the pressure was
off him to do well and Williams had dumped him and he had signed for
McLaren. Williams mistake was letting this happen and giving their
championship contender another headache to worry about. DC was never
going to be challenging for the championship. It was sporting but its
not the way to run a $60 million business. But I think Frank has had
a rethink since then. He wants the constructors title, the
championship and the record no of wins too. And if he can do that
with a 5 million driver who's laughing, he or Ferrari?
