ha ha ha...... It is a tech based race and there is no individual hero like Sachin or Ronaldo or Roger or Tiger Woods.... If the car is fastest and he is the winner.. Today Ferrari and Renault are faster.. Previously Ferrari and McLaren are faster...

I dont agree with you mate, It requires a lot of skill.why does Massa performing well where as Kimi is finding it difficult with Ferrari ? keeping a side the technical failures, it requires so much effort to finish a race.A driver usually looses 4 kilos of weight for a single race because of gravitational thrusts.F1 is a far far tougher sport than lazy cricket or Tennis.A single mistake and you are out ...

Schumi's retirement not makin any issues @ all. see how rookie Hamilton is performin'.. 'n Hats off to Alonso, he proved tat he's the best with his Renault for 2 years, now along with Hamilton, he's taking McLaren to the Top. I do believe Raikkonen is a better driver than Schumi, but he's unlucky always with lotza engine failures 'n all.. 'n those people who dont luv' F1, DONT WATCH IT.. NOBODY IS COMPELLING YOU, go and watch Cricket. if you know the game, know the tactics ( itz a Team game ), or atleast if u luv' the power of machine, u'll definitely luv' this game.

Yeah he may be your favourite, but he is definitely not a synonym of F1.Alonso is a better driver he is gonna break all the records of Schumi.My bet is Ayrton Senna is the best driver ever, Shcumi is good but very unsporting and cunning.Watch out for Lewis Hamilton, As per my prediction he is one of the future champions.

Blitzkrief. You seem to have fallen into the trap of idolising and romanticising the ones who die....Senna was a great driver, but he had his flaws. Do check his history and you will see he was as 'unsporting' and 'cunning' as Schumi...in fact, Schumi was just emulating Senna when he took out Damon Hill to win his first championship. Senna too, before he tragically died, was as hated and loved a figure as Schumi. Perhaps the hallmark of all great drivers is the controversy they create as they strive to raise the bar and set new standards. And please note that setting new standards is not the same as setting new records! As for Alonso, I cheered for him in 2005...then came his embarrassing behaviour in the second half of 2006. Till then he was gung ho...even cocky... and full of praise for Renault and team make Fisichella. Then as Ferrari stormed back following the American leg, the moaning started. He accused everyone, starting from F1 authoroties to rivals Ferrari to even his own team and team mate, of conspiring against him. Is that what you call 'sporting' behaviour? As for his driving skill, I assure you Hamilton has more skill in his little finger. Take it from an avid F1 follower and someone who knows racing from the inside.

agreed totally yar. skill is one thing.. most drivers in f1 have it. those who utilise it to the maximum always do better. and being successful also implies being a tough competetor by whihc controversies follow. but seein kimi struggle is taking the sting out of a otherwise fast ferari for the team as a whole. thye may find it difficult to come back if kimi keeps disappointing.

yes very true..Ayrton Senna the best ever driver. If he is alive we could have seen many a records. Unfortunately that didnt happen..We all miss a true champion..But that cannot be said for Schumacher because he used unfair tactics to win some of the races,if not all..
