    Sorry if this has been done before...

    Question
    If you could build your own world driver's champion out of current & former drivers, which bits / things would you use?

    1 Rule
    You can only use things from current or former GP/F1 racers.

    In no particular order, for my Frankenstein champion I'd use:
    • Senna's mercurialness (it should be a word)
    • Schumacher's ruthlessness (but without the cynical episodes)
    • Hakkinen's coolness
    • Alonso's ability to drag decent performances from a bad car
    • Hunt's off-track antics
    • Mansell's moustache (but I'd want to give it more of a handlebar job)
    • Raikkonen's dry / uncooperative humour
    • Stewart's tartan pants

    Let's hear your Frankensteins...

    I thought about pairing the finger of Vettel with the nose of Prost.

    Kubica's nose is surely more aerodynamic?

    The luck of Nelson Piquet
    The speed and guile of Ayrton Senna
    The luck of Nelson Piquet
    The attention to detail of Schuey
    The luck of Nelson Piquet

    And of course, Mansell's moustache

    Frankenstein wasn't the green monster, he was the creator of the monster in which he eventually called "the demon" or "the monster".

    So Dr Helmut Marko can be Frankenstein, Vettel can be the demon/monster.

    If it's a fashion thing I'll pass on the Mansells moustache, it's Hawthorns Bow-tie for me, he always raced with a dickie on, don't you know, what what. Class.

    In the books Frankenstein is the creator, not the actual monster he creates. He never named it Frankenstein, the movies and the public did.


    Wiki:
    In popular culture, the creature is often referred to as "Frankenstein" after his creator Victor Frankenstein, but in the novel the creature has no name. He does call himself, when speaking to Victor, the "Adam of your labours". He is also variously referred to as a "creature", "fiend", "spectre", "the demon", "wretch", "devil", "thing", "being" and "ogre" in the novel.

    You missed my point, the creature isn't the monster, the man that created such a thing and treated it as he did is the monster. Hence Frankenstein was the monster.

    Sorry getting late, my brain is starting to fail me again. I was thinking your monster = my green monster in previous post.
