Re: Daily Mirror article
Gilles ahead of Sir Jackie, Schumacher, and Prost and no Nelson Piquet... Gilles was entertaining and a hard racer, but he wasn't exactly a good point scorer. I don't rank Schumacher as the best ever...and some may contend that I am crazy or stupid for that, but no list of your top five is complete ...

Re: Vettel & Schumacher - scary comparisons!
I agree with most of that. We need to see more of Vettel, but I'm not convinced that Alonso or Hamilton are that much better than Mika. Mika was really really quick particularly in qualifying. I think Hamilton might be that quick, or possibly even quicker but I would say Mika was a better qualifier ...

Re: Vettel & Schumacher - scary comparisons!
I don't think Vettel has much chance of being "better" than Schumacher. He, of any of the drivers currently racing, may put up better statistics. But even if he does, he is no-where near as dominant as Schumacher was. Statistics don't tell the whole story IMO. I don't rate Vettel as highly as I do S...

Re: The Worst Car to win a world title.
The 1991 McLaren was not the best car. Senna won that title based on a good start to the season, but the 1991 Williams was the best car after about race four.

Re: Is driving for Ferrari really that special?
The #2 seat if it is that at Ferrari is probably the 5th or 6th most coveted seat in F-1. I'd put a #1 at McLaren (again presuming this exists), Red Bull, and Mercedes ahead of it. But I'm just a fan. I'm not a driver.

Re: Is driving for Ferrari really that special?
Ferrari is probably the most iconic team in F1.

None-the-less I continue to support McLaren and there have been times when driv...

Re: Perez off to McLaren to replace Hamilton?
I would even go so far as to say Perez would show a disturbing (for a F-1 driver) lack of killer instinct if he passes up a McLaren drive for the chance of some future Ferrari drive. This is great - you're judging Perez for turning down an offer that hasn't been made at a team that hasn't confirmed...

Re: Hamilton won't win a race this year
After five races of 2009 they were no-where and Hamilton won in 09...they are light years ahead of 09...McLaren will win both championships this year and if Button can't figure out how to qualify better it will be Hamilton for WDC. Write that down.

Re: Worst decisions in F1?
Its not the worst decision ever but worthy of being in the discussion:
Balestre flip flopping and giving the order to keep the pole position on the dirty side of the track at Suzuka in 1990 after he had agreed it should be on the clean side prior to qualifying.

You line up behind someone at a traffic light and lament their slow getaway affecting your "position" as you are bottled up behind them.
You refer to your passing through a toll plaza as your in and out laps and try to do them as fast as possible.
