A critical view?

James, known for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time has - in the middle of an article that basically says that the main reason that Jenson won was because Alonso retired which is odd because Alonso was behind him he - says this:

"And if so, just as Damon Hill was able to rack up 20 wins for Williams, Jenson, who is far more talented than Damon, can do the same."

Interesting isn't it, that Damon Hill who won 20 races is less talented all of a suddent than Jenson. That I don't think will go down very well. If you want to read the quote in context then it's here

Comments:
Alonso was behind him, but Jenson had to stop again. However, Jenson was going faster so it's hard to know who would have come out on top - especially if Alonso was just controlling the pace as he sometimes likes to do. The real threat to Jenson's win was Raikkonen, who, like Michael, made a driver error and paid the price.

I think Jenson did deserve to win, and that it wasn't especially gifted - not much more than any other win is gifted to any other driver. Some things went his way (the safety car for instance), and those that didn't he made go his way (the tyres for instance): that's what motor racing is.
