Re: The Nice Guys of F1 Appreciation Thread

I think you can kind off tell Schumi is a nice guy away from the track. The way he said sorry to J.E.V, last year after their crash underlined that to me. Highly competitive and vulnerable to getting caught up in it all offthe track? Yes, Nice guy away from the track? I would think so, you hear abo...

Re: Alonso vs Raikkonen

If you look at their whole careers Alonso is a clear step ahead. Raikkonen was matched consistently by both reasonably average drivers in Heidfeld and Massa. That's nearly 4 years worth of driving and when you consider how far Alonso and Schumacher are ahead of Massa it suggests that Alonso is clea...

Button beat Barrichello by a fair margin during his Honda/Brawn stint and Hamilton wasn't able to beat Button with a significant lead. How fast was Schumacher anyway? Ve...
