My favourite driver of all: Lewis Hamilton Other drivers I like on the grid: Jenson Button Nico Rosberg Robert Kubica (you know what I mean) Nick Heidfeld Kobayashi Past drivers I liked: Kimi Raikkonen Mikka Hakkinen Montoya The driver I wish I'd been old enough to watch racing: Aryton Senna
I have to say, I'm really chuffed to see how many people have named Montoya as a favourite. I had no idea he was so popular.
He was a feisty driver who was talented. On his day he could beat Michael Schumacher which is saying something.
I thought he was going to be the 'new' Senna but of course he turned out to be the 'original' Montoya. He was very exciting to watch and appealingly stroppy with it; I wish there were more like him.
I was always willing him to have a strop just for the entertainment value. Maybe that's why I always liked Ron too.
All time favourite driver. Juan Pablo Montoya Favourite drivers who are currently on the grid. Nick Heidfeld Fernando Alonso Jenson Button Drivers who are not on the grid. Kimi Raikonnen Giancarlo Fisichella Other drivers who I have not really seen live but still resonate with me. Alain Prost Ayrton Senna Jackie Stewart Juan Manual Fangio Same, never known any other Montoya fans. 2003 should have been his!! One of the best drivers never to win a championship.
I contribute to the NUFC one more, I just enjoy reading your views on F1 and mine seem so poor in comparison
I wanted him to win in 2003, partly because i loved how powerful that BMW engine was, and partly because it's nice to see williams doing well.
Michael Schumacher Jenson Button Mika Hakkinen Ralf Schumacher Eddie Irvine Jean Alesi Lewis Hamilton Nick Heidfeld Jarno Trulli David Coulthard Seb Vettel All Time Favourite Driver Michael Schumacher - my first, one and only childhood hero. Awed by his sheer skill and talent as a kid. Always a legend for me. Drivers I didn't see but am awed by Jim Clark - in my view possibly the greatest driver of all time and one of the most astonishing sportsmen of all time.
