He's an awesome guy. That team is horrible, and Franz is ****ing *******.

Scott is fast, he's faster than Bordais in testing, and if they just worked with him and Antonio they'd have better races than the factory red bull team. I've seen Scott make great strides with the race pace, but the toro rosso has reliablilty issues, and poor team management. I don't how much Gerhard Berger has say in his "co-ownership" but I don't think it's much. Franz is such a dick.

I don't mind him. I really like the idea of a yank in F1 too.

And you know what, if you had to go through the tough driver search and be on top, and race in europe, away from home while being ****ed by a rare disease, still WIN, and make it to F1, you'd be pissed off if some team owner is breathing down on you for "poor" performance as well.

I don't see why otherwise?!?

Fernando and Felipe are snotty *****es. Both Schumachers are snotty. Juan Pablo is snotty. There are plenty of other douches.

My point is that it should have been someone else.

Your point is everyone in F1 is a dick

Also, it is important to note that this is not the first time he has yelled at his boss and got fired.

Everyone else that you mentioned my be snotty, but they sont go yelling and shoving around thier bosses. Everyone's boss is a dick, but he is your boss and you have to deal with it, or quit like a professional

Actually Kimi, Lewis, Nick, Robert... many others are great

Maybe Scott's entire racing life is full of ****ty teams and no support?

Scott needs to have his bawls powdered by McLaren/Mercedes like Lewis Hamilton. F1 is the pinnacle of 4 wheel motorsport, and he's certainly not running LAST.

I agree the 'team' has everything to do with the success, along with a driver who strives to work with the team to hone his skills even further. David Coultard isn't doing much better, but he's been driving F1 forever!!

I think Scott has what it takes, just needs to be better inspired by his team rather than threatened.
