I never was a fan of MS. An immense talent for sure, but far too arrogant for my taste. IMHO a flawed personality, exhibited clearly in his win at all costs actions vs Damon Hill in Australia, and vs Jacques Villeneuve in Austria... not sporting by any sense I understand. His antics continue since his return, even in the mid field mediocrity that is his lot, and this only suggests to me he still has this flaw even at a more mature age. So, I'm quite glad he has failed to impress, and is going out to grass!
I do like SV though, another immense talent and, until this weekends outburst on the podium, a gentleman and consummate professional. Hopefully, someone will "smack his hands" and normal service will resume... it should be his title?
I used to be a great fan of LH. Again an immense talent, a true racer, and fantastic first season performance for McLaren that so nearly delivered the title but for some novice errors. However, I'm somewhat disappointed in his recent transformation since splitting from his dad as his manager. It seems to me that he has been overly influence by the "celebrity life style" and the dollar (possibly the girl friend and new management?). IMHO it is a strange move to Mercedes given their performance since the take over from Brawn, and lets be honest Brawn's success was more down to the double diffuser fluke than building on a sound performance base inherited from Honda.
JB and FA also both great professional drivers. For me, FA just edges the "Best Driver" from the current crop. He has supreme talent, bravery and commitment, he's a racer and he never gives up.
BTW - I bet they all speak highly of me as a
too!
