So much talent, so little results. One lucky win in Canada 95 when Schui & Williams tripped up. I remember Jackie Stewart said of Alesi - when he moved from Ferrari & inherited Schui’s championship winning car/team at Benetton & still no results - …..”Something is not being understood”

He seemed to imply that the talent was there but a unique form of external “mind management” would be required to actually get Alesi to “use” the talent.
