Message: [QUOTE="RayInTorontoCanada, post: 54136, member: 1684"] He was in a top team. BMW was regarded as a top team (they officially finished 2nd in the 2007 WCC and he was joint tied for 1st in the 2008 WDC at mid season) before they packed up and left F1 at the end of 2009. Renault was a works team when he signed to replace Alonso. Renault were not a low tier team and Alonso was their Number 1 in 2009 before Kubica became their Number 1. RBR may be a top team now but they were not at the start of 2009. Ferrari are a top and when Massa got injured in the summer of 2009, Kubica was offered the seat apparently but he didn't want to move there mid season and had a BMW contract. Lastly, with all due respect to your first sentence above, the WDC table is not a subjective table. It's a factual table based on finishing order. There's nothing subjective about it. [/QUOTE]
