    Yeh ok About as funny as getting an arrow through the neck and discovering there's a gas bill tied to it.

    Why don't you change your thread title, : Yet another excuse to whine about Hamilton.

    This will get really interesting when it comes down to the top three. The eternal battle between MS and Senna fans will find new fuel.

    However overall this list is a bit silly: For the most part it is the multiple WDCs, as it has to. Plus an occasional supertalent thrown in who was denied the title by fate (Gilles). Wouldn't be surprised to see Sterling in the top ten. Plus all the other multiple and/or British WDCs (Lauda, Prost, MS, Senna, Fangio, Stewart, Vettel, Clark, Hunt etc).

    Hey,

    I've deleted 'em all right now, but Speed TV's "F1 debrief" is doing a similar list. I could be wrong, but IIRC 11-20 are *identical* to the BBC list above!....... I'm also pretty sure they don't say "this is the BBC's list".

    Plagiarists! ;)

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Do you think Vettel will be on the list? Because if he's not and LH is...eh...yet I think having Seb in the top 10 is too high (at least in this stage of his career).

    Hunt shouldn't be on it, IMO, and I wonder how high Alonso will be? These are stupid but fun to talk about.

    From the OP;

    ;)

    Which suggests Seb will be higher (I can't see him not being there at all) - I agree, not sure about that one. But it does indeed give us something to BS about - Maybe should have saved it for the upcoming months vacation though......

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Ahhh, didn't see that.

    I'll admit I'm excited to see how the top 5 shakes out. Probably won't agree, but then again I've never seen one of these that I agreed with.

    Seb ranked above FA would be pretty absurd, IMO.

    :eek: March...2011? :rolleyes:

    I'm glad Ferrari finally got rid of that hideous stepped nose...

    It is as serious as the bone headed comments I read on here, but there again that put's me guilty of stooping to their level.

    To be honest I have had enough.

    :D Wow, just wow! Unbelievable.

    I actually quite enjoy F1 debrief - It's hardly Sky level in depth stuff, but not too bad. And Despain can be a little amusing on occasion.

    Other than sometimes watching Matchett's "Chalk Talk" I never bother going to their site - Hardly surprising given the above! :eek:

    Cheers,

    If you say so man. People are going to have some digs at LH (he drives for a rival team, remember) but that was a pretty light-hearted joke. No reason to be frustrated...
