you're right sosidge. johnbull tends to just shoot his mouth off without considering all the facts.
hara might have won the nats if
a) in the second final, he did not misjudge the track condition and braked wrongly and ended up third.
b) his gamble on using harder compound tires in the third final had paid off, but unfortunately it did not and he finished last.
of course, masami also made mistakes in the finals, so the championship could have gone either way.
my point is that do not make sweeping assumptions on a car just based on the final results. this form of opinion makes you look narrow minded and silly.
