You are plainly insane, or blind, or both lol :) But in this poll the obvious choice is David Coulthard. I mean in terms of points, he is the most successful British driver of all time, and a proven race winner, but like Sir Stirling before him never made it all glue together...
Eddie, rich, single and drives superfast.. Oh Andy you've broken my heart :-P
Sorry, Misty lol. But Eddie was so far up his own arse it was untrue. I saw an interview with him once wearing an Eddie Irvine t shirt.
Plus I'm hotter lol :)
Jack Wemyss - damn you for airing my dirty laundry in public again :) Ever wondered what might happen if I had an egg slicer and you were in flagrante? lol :D
I would vote for Massa who deserved is so much last year, he was brilliant in the final race in Brazil and extremely sportive afterwards, losing the title in the final corner. But on talent Mark Webber and Jarno Trulli also could have been world champion if they had competitive equipment, the importance of a competitive top car has been too important in the past 20 years. Look at Button's performance this year, with the Honda of the past 2 years he was hopelessly outpaced but give him a good car and he can win a title. In the '70s and early '80s (and the era's before that) the cars were more evenly matched and the driver could still make a difference and even win races even if they didn't have a very good car. Nowadays it's almost impossible without a top car, unless the circumstances help (like Fisichella's win in the Jordan or Johnny Herbert in the Stewart, they both won in the rain).
Lord are we talking boots, I didnt know a hatchet could fit in one's boot? I'm supposing they are hobnail boots not fashion boots. Kinda like the chick who asks where to get her food when going through a drive-thru, turn right go down the road about 5 miles you'll see a guy in a yellow poncho called Hank if you dont get to him in 5 minutes he'll eat your food

... the people saying Massa need to get their heads examined.
I can agree with you on that. :p
From that list, I'd say Barrichello. Yes, he was second to Schumacher, but he always ran him very close. Besides, I remember him putting the Jordan from '94 on pole at Spa in the wet, a few months after his horrific crash at Imola THAT weekend! His Donington drive in '93 may have been as good as Senna's, but he unfortunately ran out of fuel (?) with two laps remaining from a podium.
Not to mention his second place at Monaco with the Stewart, making only one mistake IIRC. He qualified well at Buenos that year too, in the top 6 I believe and at Luxemborg (Nürburgring) if I'm correct, had it not been for a technical problem, Magnussen and himself would've got some good points in a car that was very uncompetitive. One that stands out are his performances at the Brazillian Grand Prix, he always shone there, yet unfortunately DNF'd from most of them, and that was the case in 1999, when he was beating Mika Hakkinen in a car that was no-where near competitive. He also took pole and a podium (I believe) at the French GP that year. Such a talented driver, but never got the machine and when he finally did, he was up against one of the greatest drivers in the sports history.
Bah, Montoya was also a fantastic talent, but his mouth was way too big for his own good and he buggered off to America again before he could achieve any great feats.
Brazilian Airton Senna is the best so far driver ever, but in the last ten years the german Michael Schumacher is still in this place, but new comers are rising...
