Jacques first season was in 1996, when he had Damon Hill as a team mate who won the Championship. I think that Hungary of 1997 proved that Damon was a better driver than Jacques. The only reason Jacques won that race was because Hill's throttle linkage failed. For Hill to make the Arrows sing like that even for one race, I think marks him as a better driver. Jacques more or less proved that you could put a trained monkey into those Williams and win a World Championship. For all of Jacques' years at BAR-Honda, did he even score a single win? No? Jensen Button did (sort of - if Honda is/was BAR).
