![]() The simple point was that there are better drivers in CART, F3000 and F3 than either Dixon or Helio.įor crying out loud, why bring Dixon or Helio to F1 when you can have either Wirdheim, Bruno, Sebastien or Wilson ? Or all four. As the season progressed, Bruno got better and scored points in the last 8 races furthermore, he finished 5th in his first Indy500 and won at RA in his rookie year. Montoya, in an Autosport article, criticized that move and said that it was difficult for Bruno, a rookie, to do well because Vasser and Nunn were both gone. What people forget is that Ganassi fired Vasser and lost Anderson when Bruno and Nicolas moved over to CART. Mario won the British F3 and finished 5th in the F3000 he also gave Bruno a good run on a couple of races with a team that did not even have the budget to compete in the IRL and switched to CART becasue they receive $2.6M from the ESP. I essentially said that Haberfeld was better than Dixon. I never said that Haberfeld was good or that Dixon was crap. What I said was that Villeneuve is the best driver since Senna I never said that he was as good as Senna. ![]() ![]() Well shaggy thinks a driver who couldn't beat Jensen Timberlake is as good as Senna, so if he says Wankerfeld is good and Dixon is crap, you would be wise to think the opposite. it is not as if you can claim to have set the racing world on fire. If your competition is Hornish, Kannan and Helio and, they push you to the last lap of the last race of the season. Even then, he chased Kannan most of the season and had to wait to the final race to finaly win it all. His major championship was on the all oval IRL series. Dixon probably resembles Hornish more than any other driver.ĭixon did well in an oval centered series such IndyLights. Dixon is a far superior driver to Haberfeld, who's never done anything other than drive around at the back in CART (compared to Dixon who dragged a team with no money into some very respectable finishing positions in '01 and showed a very mature approach in '02 with, again, some great results).īTW, Dixon won in only his 3rd CART start and that win made him the youngest ever winner in a major open-wheel series. Wishful thinking by his biggest fan.b) True, but his mum thinks Minardi and Jordan are the top two teams.c) True, and Sir Frank is planning an. Dixon compared favourably with Junquiera in '02 as well, despite all the problems he had to contend with that year (PWR went bust, and the Ganassi car he was given was to start with an underdeveloped spare and suffered with reliability problems). of 2 - F1 drive for Scott Dixon (says his mum) - posted in Racing Comments Archive: According to this link from todays NZ Herald, Scott Dixons mum reckons her lad is about to land an F1 drive for 2005 with a top team.This is either:a) Nonsense. ![]()
