I'm looking forward to a Button, di Resta, Hamilton podium. I don't care in what order, would just be nice to see 3 union jacks up there one day. 2 very good drivers and one with bags of potential, could happen.

fraid we differ there bright i am not english/ british / so i dont share the patriotic buzz on here , i cant recall ever seeing 3 union jacks on the podium in my yrs of watching F1 , however when di resta does eventually get a decent drive the likelyhood of it happening is increased --
 
let me guess you cc you believe all of the current british drivers are on the same level as prost , senna ,clark or fangio -

dont make me laugh , it will give me indigestion whilst i am eating my dinner ---

I'm not sure what you're getting at here Martial, unless it is simply provocative.
Of course, I like to see people of my own nationality do well but this doesn't mean 'greats' must be restricted to such a myopic minority does it?
I don't see nationality as any more relevant than the colour of one's skin…

just screwing with you cc -- i remember you well on the old bbc 606 and of course on here for being very patriotic towards the english drivers ,

nothing what so ever wrong with that by the way ----

Ha! It's comforting to know I have both your sympathy and permission. Thanks.
:)

P.S. Can I remind you that I said "Vettel is great"? I thought I'd made this clear with nice bold type - and I'm sure you know he's neither English nor British.

i know what you said cc - you also said some of the other current drivers were also great , which i presume from your previous patriotic viewpoint that meant the english drivers --

i could"nt resist having a bit of fun with you ---
 
I'm playing too!

Current greats in no particular order:
Alonso
Hamilton
Button
Vettel
(and possibly some other German bloke… ;))

If you have the right guy in mind, my respect for you will increase a bit.
Paco is right, they may be good/great... but none of the above names are legends of the sport.

Glock. (He actually drove a fantastic race on Sunday)

Are any of them legends though?

I suppose it depends what you define as a legend Paco.

To me, a legend is a traditional story, sometimes popularly regarded as historical but not actually authenticated. One should remember that legends are also closely related to mythology…

A legend of Formula 1, is a driver that has re-written records, captured the hearts of many - and is one brave mo-fo ;)

Respect is a two-way thing.
Your past behaviour has been less than respectful. Therefore, I do not seek your respect.

However, I am always open to the possibility that change can become permanent…

Touche my man.
I am a "legend" of this forum. ;)
