    I found this video from 2006 of Brundle comparing the driving styles of Button, Alonso, Schumacher and Raikkonen. I was surprised how aggressive Alonso was, he's alway struck me as being quite precise, not to the extent that Button is but leaning that way.

    There's one about overtaking as well which some cheeky git will probably suggest Vettel needs to watch.

    Alonso has always been agressive, thats why hes prone to mistakes, its only recently he learnt alot about being smooth

    I noticed his style became very smooth in 2008, but still agressive when overtaking and defending.

    This year really is about being able to mix your styles. Steady throughout the stint, but able to turn it up when ever needed for a last minute push or an overtake.

    This is nothing new, but I feel its more apparent on the Pirreli's

    Could almost feel the launch of Alonso's Renault as he accerated out. Ugly says brundle? I think its uber-stylish. Also feel he misses out on Schumacher's aggresion as a big factor, always seemed to be willing to fight the track in search for speed.

    Good couple of mins analyis. Good potential for a more detailed look at the driving styles shown, some of the newer players (Hamilon, Kubica, Vettel) and some of the older masters (Prost, Senna, Piquet).
