As you say, it depends on the era in which you got the bug. I got bitten early on, so I still think nostalgically of the days when drivers were "gentlemen", not "players". That's probably why I pick Jim Clark. Schumacher was a product of his time - he had more than a few wins under questionable circumstances. So did Senna, who I would probably pick as the most skilled driver. I never got to see him live, much to my regret. But at least I did get to watch (and hear) Schumacher flat through Eau Rouge at Spa. Still, there are so many good drivers to choose from - I couldn't fault anybody who picked Mario Andretti, Phil Hill, Emerson Fittipaldi, ... from the open-wheel world, not to mention many more excellent drivers from the sportscar ranks. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
