2 to 20.- Who cares?
(lists are boring if there is no explanation on why you ranked the drivers that way...just my humble opinion)

"On the rare occasions that I play a racing game I often think ‘you know what this needs? A boss battle or two.’ A Formula One game in which, suddenly, everybody else has a monster truck and their sole desire is to squash you. A street racing game with a tank or two blowing the roads and buildings to bits. A Nascar game with a track that occasionally bends to the right" (Adam Smith - RPS)

For the sucess of each of these drivers is important the decissions they´ll take in the car and outside the car in terms of career managent and teams.
And yes Andrés, you´re right Lewis is the best... ooops! No Nando is the best package overall -till he drive a Ferrari, at least!

So logically your list is boring too

Didn't try too hard, or Rubens Heidfeld and Hamilton would never be ahead of Robert. Not to mention Button behind Kimi. Geeze, woman, I didn't know South America was on another planet...

Music connects people through the unspoken appreciation of something that sounds right. Something that taps into the deepest corners of your soul, making you feel alive. When someone else gets it too and you know they do, it feels beautiful.

you didn't say why you rank Alonso that high and we don't need to hear about that, we know you just don't need a reason but we also know that you need a reason to rank the rest of the drivers
Edited by Schumikonen, 20 August 2009 - 06:34 PM.

Kimi Raikkonen: It is the same thing that I said before. I have no interest in driving for a bad team next year. If I race here, I always try to finish as high as I can. I don't need anything to motivate me. If I drive, I drive to do my best and that is it.

I just always end up disagreeing with you guys because of all the huge exaggerations, myths, theories & unjustified statements
Lewis Hamilton:
I never go with expectations, I go with a target. That is to be at the front, and the ultimate aim to win, which is the mentality I have always gone racing with.
You've got to be on the limit all the time - and I love that, because that's how I love to race.

I thought that having more than one item it would made it a list although every list will have to start with a first item and it is still a list from the beggining and maybe if you delete or erase the fisrt and only item from it, it will still be a list because you are working a list and you had a list in mind and you will have a list and at the end you will have a list with as many item as you want to include in that list like and you can see here how everyone made their list which it was suppose to include all drivers but some people just inlcude some of them, so I don't know what is a list and that makes pointless everything I said here but One thing is not pointless and is that I am not posting any list because I don't want to include Alonso in it, I'll wait until he is retired.

well that was cus lewis, rubens and nick ARE better than robert. and jenson is not that impressive, let's go back to past years when he didn't have the best car on the grid. people seem to forget all the other yrs jens raced, just because he is winning now.
as for fernando, im not his fan, and i don't even like him, but still, he is doing miracles in that sh***y car he's got. oh yes because a driver must impress me either in a good car AND a bad car. being the best in a brawn / red bull seems easy this season, like in a mclaren / ferrari has been in past years.
just so u know, nick is still ahead of robert in wdc
love u too.

Then suddenly something just kicked me. I kind of woke up and realised that I was in a different atmosphere than what we normally are. My immediate reaction was to back off, slow down. I drove slowly back to the pits and I didn't want to go out any more that day. It frightened me because I was well beyond my conscious understanding." - Ayrton Senna, about the 1988 Monaco GP qualifying

That was real pretty. Surely though Piquet Jr is the only one in tiers?
