Re: Greatest Driver of the Modern Era NOT to be WDC

Montoya, Massa and Webber are the three I'd consider. - Juan Pablo Montoya was a qualifying whizzkid and a champion overtaker. He was thrilling to watch. Its one of motorsports great shames that he went to Mclaren and then Nascar, we never got to see his best. - Felipe Massa was nearly champion in 2...

There was no threat, Fiki. Damon told Eddie that he would fight for the win regardless of the consequences. It wasn't a response to Eddie's instruction to let Ralf past.

A shame about Van Der Garde. It would be easier to tell how good Pic is if they put him up against a decent benchmark. He compared well to Glock and would benefit from a teammate he could learn from.

Please don't let it be chrome again. It'd be nice to see a change in one of the big three and we know that Red Bull and Ferrari won't.
