Default The Strengths and Weaknesses Thread

Keyzersoze made a post about Button that got me thinking:

What do the esteemed forum members think are the strengths and weaknesses of the 20 men currently on the Formula One grid???

I'll start:

Hamilton: Strengths: Blistering Raw Pace, Great Performer over a race weekend, excellent in the wet, great fitness. Weaknesses: Persistent locking of the brakes, sometimes gets a bit rash on the track.

Kovalainen: S: Great qualifying pace, tries hard, makes fewer mistakes than LH W: Race pace can't match Hamilton's, never seems to get the most out of the car over a weekend.

Raikkonen: S: Possibly the fastest guy over one lap on the grid, fearless. W: Sometimes loses interest in races, slow starter to the season.

Fisichella: S: Can make a mediocre car look great, makes few mistakes. W: Sensitive to changes around him, sometimes struggles in qualifying

Heidfeld: S: Virtually mistake-free, Great passer, Excellent race craft W: Lacks blistering raw pace, sometimes isn't ruthless enough, too easy on the tyres :O

Kubica: S: Very talented, good qualifier. W: A known complainer, possibly a tad overrated, doesn't always race that well.

Alonso: S: Consistent, aggressive, great overtaking, extremely intelligent, Championship winning experience, always gets the best out of a car. W: Doesn't like having strong teammates.

Grosjean: S: Good natural talent, adapts well to new situations. W: Seemingly error and crash-prone.

Vettel: S: Great front-runner, great intelligence for his age, unlimited potential, usually gets the best out of the car. W: Quite mistake-prone.

Webber: S: Great qualifier, hard worker, very consistent in races, never gives up. W: Maybe lacks raw pace to be a top driver in F1.

Trulli: S: Fantastic qualifier, veteran knowledge, great fitness. W: Sometimes slow in races, not great in the wet, lacks self-confidence.

Glock: S: Hard worker, Good racer. W: Never seems to push the car to it's limits.

Alguersuari: S: Good potential, impressive consistency for his experience level. W: Inexperienced.

Buemi: S: Excellent potential, very quick at times. W: Makes too many mistakes.

Sutil: S: Great in the wet. W: Accident-prone, doesn't get the most out of the car in the dry.

Liuzzi: S: Consistent, Quick, proven winner in junior series'. W: Not raced for a while in F1, and not always got the most out of the package given to him.

Button: S: Extremely smooth, great fitness, great on a damp/drying track, good overtaking ability. W: Doesn't get the most out of a bad car, sometimes doesn't have the aggression needed, questionable set-up ability.

Barrichello: S: Veteran, Consistent, hard working, wet weather specialist. W: Sometimes lets emotion get the better of him, sometimes struggles when car isn't perfect.

Rosberg: S: Extremely intelligent, good qualifier, consistent. W: Struggles in the wet sometimes, unsure about his race craft.

Nakajima: S: Good talent, decent potential, consistent driver. W: Mediocre qualifier, not aggressive with his opponents, goes missing in races.

What does everyone think the strengths and weaknesses are of the current F1 crop?
