Or - so he says! Discuss :lol:

I'd love to know how he figures that one out.

Shall we start with good old David Coulthard IMHO far better than Ralph. From there you can build a helluva list that moves him quite a long way down.

Self-confidence is required to succeed.
But sure is not enough, as this example clearly shows. :D

Oh yes, I'm going to enjoy this. Surely Ralfy is forgetting Kimi, Fernando and Fellipe, most peoples top three, then the Honda drivers, Lewis and Hekki will be ahead of him, DC of course, even Giancarlo, his team mate isn't bad either although little between them, The list is endless, in fact younger brother is around the bottom 3.

They missed abit of the quote

Come on Ralf since day one you have had one skill nobody else has even come close to. thats is being able to crash into his team mates.

did anybody pick him in the fantasy F1 team last year? or even this year?

's F1 team :D

Is he going by the number of wins amongst the current F1 drivers? If so, he should be 4th (after Alonso, Coulthard (whom he had probably discarded), Kimi). Am I missing somebody?

I think he meant to say bottom three and not top three. You know how reporteres sometimes misquote
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

Is this a joke?
The trouble with the rat-race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.

the hi Wage come with the little bit that comes after Ralf.

On his day he can have moments where he looks like his brother. But he is SO lazy, i think toyota make it to easy for there drivers to fail, they pay them loads and there jobs seem safe, so why push hard when ur being paid silly money

It seems we all agree that Ralf is overrated, at least in terms of salary.

But I feel he's also "over-bashed" especially on internet. Let's not forget that, as much as we can mock him, or fisico and some others, those guys would certainly make the best of us bite the dust in any type of race. They are formula one drivers after all. Plus, those "often mocked" drivers are most of times the nicest guys of the field, and most of times show signs of self-doubting. Which means bashing them is a bit cruel. (lol I sound as a moralist, yet I'm often the first one to bash them) :twisted:

Concerning his comments, I don't think he said that to the press on his own. He was probably told to say that type of things by his manager, Just like Giancarlo told he was confident for the title a few times ago. Don't forget also this press release occurs just after he made some bad comments about the car, speaking about "a catastrophic preparation to the season". Toyota obviously didn't like it, so now it's time for ambitious comments and arrogance, to boost the team mood and it's image, one week away of first GP.
