An average driver at best who took 7 years to win his first F1 race. He is a good technical and development driver as he gives good feedback to engineers.
Actually, I am suprised he is still on the grid. I'd put him in the Heidfeld or Wurz level. Good driver to have around, but won't win you a title (unless you have the absolute winning car).

Texas Will Host F1 Race

Formula One racing is coming back to the United States in 2012 with a long-term deal to race in Austin, Tex., on a track built specifically for the event. Officials from Formula One, Austin and Texas said the city would host the U.S. Grand Prix until 2021. The race was dropped after an eight-year run at Indianapolis Motor Speedway from 2000 to 2007. Bernie Ecclestone, Formula One’s president, said the race would mark the first time a course would be built specifically for an F1 race in the United States. Before its run in Indianapolis, Formula One was hosted by Las Vegas, Detroit, Dallas, Phoenix and Long Beach, Calif., on street circuits.
Sorry if this was already discussed.
