Well, fat guy is also fast guy. It would be very much beneficial for him to shrug off some mass now that he's gonna be driving a different car next year. Beating KR is a very tough job, an all-new challenge for the Columbian after easily proving who's better back there at Williams.

I also remember in his Mercedes touring car days that he was rather thin.

I think needs to shave off some mass off his bloated head. Next time they'll need a helmet the size of a car if he doesn't do anything about it. He's a good driver, but his ego is just too much.

I agree with this. He has his good and bad days when it comes to PR. One minute he's answering questions, next minute he's irritated for signing memorabilia.

But, come to think of it, he wasn't paid for PR. He was paid to drive. Maybe he just has some congeniality issues

JPM used to be swell-headed, perhaps during his first 2 years in F1. This may have started when he put a big scar on Schumi's reputation by easily making an overtaking maneuver in 2001 Brazil, which is considered as one of the best moves ever in F1 history.

The Colombian is just too emotional, which may work negatively against him. He's a truthful guy and will say everything he wants to. But he has mellowed down somehow during 2003. In the Australian GP which he was supposed to win but spun with 10 laps to go, he humbly berated himself rather than pinpointing his car's defects. Before that he used to blame everything except himself.

He also things more realistically now. He has changed his racing philosophy in some way. Before he just pushed pushed and pushed without thinking of other things. He damaged the suspension in 2002 Monza hoping to get near the faster Ferraris. Now his aggressiveness depends on what he has. In 2004 Malaysia, he eased off when he knew Schumi can no longer be challenged and safely paced himself to second.

I'm glad his maturity is getting closer to his great skills.
