    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.

    Him teaming up with Ron Dennis was always going to have its issues!

    <laugh> I was always willing him to have a strop just for the entertainment value. Maybe that's why I always liked Ron too.

    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.

    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.

    Yes, Adam Parr. A man who has no business running an ice cream van, let alone a formula 1 team.
