Who has had the worst management?

Which driver has had the worst management among active drivers?

Giancarlo. The worst thing about JV's management has been his mouth and the last time I looked, he was in charge of that.

Fisi's career is almost a tragicomedy.

Started with Jordan - and left right before they hit their peak for Benneton - who was in their lull between the Schumi years and the Renault years.

Stayed with Benneton and left right before they hit their peak - to return to now down on their luck Jordan.

Now he's leaving Jordan for Sauber, who was at their peak a couple of years ago.

And he finally wins a race through lucky circumstances - only to have the stewards deny him the pleasure of celebrating the victory.

How about Jensen Button?

1.. Starts with Williams... replaced by Montoya on their upswing.
2. Goes to Benneton/Renault when they can't beat a Minardi... tossed out as Renault rises to the top of the Mid-pack.
3. Ends up at BAR... At war with his teammate before the start of the season. BAR continues to struggle.

Not sure... His story can get much worse.

Button? Hardly.

1) Button, with far less experience, beats out Williams test driver Bruno Junqueria to replace Alex Zanardi in 2000. He gets one year in one of the best cars on the circuit - and does quite well, silencing many critics who said he was inexperienced. He was always keeping the seat warm for JPM - it was cheaper for Williams to hire Button than to pay off Ganassi to release JPM.

2) Button gets to Renault/Benetton. His first year he gets drilled by his teammate and criticized for living the high life. He turns it around his second year and does quite well. However, the fella who runs Renault - Flavio Briatore - is also Alonso's manager.

3) Button parlays #1 and #2 into a ride with BAR, supported by Honda. He manages to become the teams #1 driver - beating out a WDC in the process.

Not bad for a guy who will be all of 24 years old at Melbourne next year. Button still has a chance at a top ride. Fisichella or JV? Almost no chance.

if some of the rumors concerning sauber flat out using full on 03 ferraris are true, then i wouldnt be too wuick to say that fisi is never going to have a top of the line drive. this probably wont happen, but one can hope

That has been an interesting rumor... and should those Sauber's pick up the last remaining Michelin spot... Hmmmm.
