My point is that it can be done if you do things that right way like Mansell did and I suppose you could even say Juan Paublo Montoya in away and Zanardi got there in the end when the Firestone tyre got better on the shorter ovals and Team Target got a better set up.
Yes, the key point being "if you do things right".

Absolutely nothing about this Alesi program has been done right. His age and lack of oval experience aren't the major problems, it's all the other things...
