    That Hunt isn't in the success with women category tells me this poll might be skewing on the young side. Also that Prost isn't on the list but Mansell is tells me it's Brit heavy. So, I'd say Nuts TV Sports News main audience is young British males.

    Am I right?

    Charles, I would say Nuts TV, is what it is, NUTS.

    You assumed right, if the Mag is anything to go by, I haven't seen the TV.

    +1 [Given the results, I'd say their *only* audience is the aforementioned.....]

    Hamilton isn't, and I doubt ever will be, in the same *league* as James Hunt - He was a *legend* with the women.....

    Beyond that, LH may one day be able to join the greats, but definitely not yet - So far I wouldn't let him hold Ayrton's jock :) As to the "champagne lifestyle", where's Kimi?

    So, yes, "very young British males" completed the survey. I don't know if they're related, but there's a "boys magazine" called "Nuts" in the UK - Lots of titties and "off color" jokes - Definitely a teen-age demographic.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    My conclusion is that Nuts TV is living up to its name. And that it is under contract with Lewis Hamilton's PR team.

    According to the results of the survey, It looks more like it came from Jet Magazine.

    they have lewis hamilton above Kimi and Alonso in driving ability?! There's obvious Hamilton bias here he's a great driver but you can tell someone's on his side.

    Even with the flagrant UK bias from this "poll", I'd still rate Clark and Hill(Dad...maybe not son) over Lewis

    That might be the all time most stupid list I have ever seen relating to F1.

    Really?

    Edit: just reread it and saw you said "list" not "thing" but I'm leaving the picture anyways.
