Don't remember where or when but I recall Shoey losing a gear or two during
the race and still winning. That sold me.

Only if the driver wants to keep getting paid. :-)
Villeneuve was my favourite because he's Canadian, he had a certain
panache, he enjoyed himself and loved what he did.
I like V The Elder and V The Younger. But, being of the era that I am,
Mikey Shoe will always be my favorite F1 driver. Watching him carve up
Monte Carlo in the rain was always amazing. Of course, watching him,
during safety car laps, smash into ? Alonso ? for no reason at Monte Carlo
was pretty amazing, too. :-)
