Thanks mate. Really appreciate that.

Alonso is the most complete in my opinion. I really highly rate Brundle and I think he is very fair and he refers to Alonso as the most complete package.

Also I don't think Vettel's tyre management is that good. When you are in the lead with little pressure it is easier to look after tyres, some will point to Monaco but that is a very unique circuit. I think Silverstone showed that when under pressure he is only average and Alonso was easier on his tyres while in the lead.

Lol. He did. He could have just PM'ed me what he said there but wanted it to go bloody public. Lol.

Stop acting like the little goody two shoes, you have sent tripe like this to me, in attempt to make me quiet. Let him say what he wants, if people have a problem tell the mods, that's why they are there and you aren't, you are just the same as all of us ..

I'm not sure you know what acting is.

I couldn't be arsed going through all the posts (it's late).

Most complete driver ? Has to be Alonso of the current crop, with possibly Button second.

Quickest would be Hamilton, but that don't neccessarily translate into points !

Lewis Hamilton by 100 miles

wheel-wheel racing skill: 10/10
driving intelligence: 10/10
team feedback: 8/10
all out speed: 10/10
tactical know-how: 7/10
development: 9/10
mechanical durability 9/10

Without a doubt he is the fastest out there.

Hamilton is my no.1, but even I accept he has faults.

I voted Alonso, I believe he is the most complete package on the grid at the moment

Alonso's weakness is still his mental ***ility. See Valencia, Silverstone & his reaction to Petrov at Abu Dabai 2010. He can get distracted by feeling an injustice and should really concentrate on his own racing.

'Luck' is not a weakness! I can't see many times when he has been unlucky recently.

Anyway, lets wait for Episode 2 'The others return from the pub and it all gets a bit feisty' in about 3 to 4 hours time............

Thats not really mental fragility more how he chooses to express his frustration. It may not have much decorum but waving angrily at a driver is a better way of dealing with frustration and releasing it than bottling it up in the cockpit and ending your race through rash actions

It may be so, but for the fans it makes it exciting watching a driver go one handed through a chicane or whatever. Going to that case of Abu Dhabi 2010, I can understand his reaction and it was normal and he apologised.

Wonder who voted Michael Schumacher

Since most complete driver on the grid is a title that will probably change yearly, I'll abstain from voting

He lucked into the 2008 world championship, because felipe massa's engine blew in hungary. He called Alonso Prost to his Senna.

He scored more points than his opposition, which is how you win a title. Each driver can look back over a season and tot up the points that bad luck cost them, but it still doesn't count.

Anyway, Hamilton has had his fair share of lousy luck too, it's easy to only look at things from one side.

While I don't believe any driver is 'complete' Alonso has to be the best all round.The drivers say it,the commentators say it and the team bosses say it.

That was me, but based on his performances when he was in his prime. He was solid all round.

I laugh at this type of article because the concept of "most complete driver" is so childishly ridiculous.

We have actually been asked to evaluate a driver for "mechanical durability" WHAT?

Why do people watch F1? Now that is a question worth asking.

Because we like it.

Lol... nope. Guilty as charged, and here's my reasoning.

Of our current crop of champions, we have an extremely diverse array of talents. Each has an aspect of their game that gives them an edge in certain circumstance and in many ways, these differences are what make for amazing racing... I just don't see any as "complete" nor do I think "complete" means best.

Schumacher on the other hand, he may be past is best, but I never actually remember seeing him in a situation where I though "Well... Schumacher is going to struggle here." It was always more of a case of "What's Schumacher going to pull out of the hat this time". Like him or not... He was a driver that could never be written off...and still may be...
