Is he beating him in the championship?
I am going to have to say that, that is probably total nonsense, do you not remember Jarno Trulli? What is the point of being great in qualifying if you are crap over an entire race TP's want points in the WCC not a quick boy on Saturday, obviously both would be better but if a TP had to chose then he would chose the points every time as has been proven by Force India retaining The Hulk...but I'm sure you'll be aware that reputations especially in the eyes of team principals have a tendency to be more dependent on qualifying pace than point standings.
