5.Graham Hill - Reason; He was the British master mind that was different and played the racing game so well. He won the triple crown of motor sport and also dominated the circuit time & time again. A True British racing hero, charisma? The british tash. Just the British Bloke we love :)


I watched a documentary about Graham a while back, he certainly was quite a colourfull charactor indeed, Having never seen him race or knew too much about him a took an instant liking to him :clap:


Yeah it was on tv yesterday. BBC4 had 1hr 30 mins of Jackie stewart, then another for Hill, then finally clark. All three are legends!



argghhhh FFS, I would have liked to have seen the Jim clark one :(

What did you think of the Grham Hill one I prefered that one over Jakie Stewart TBH, what caught my attention was just how close those driver's were back then, If Graham Hill had a party just about every driver on the grid (or within reason) used to go to it, No danger of that happening nowaday's most driver's hate each other



All three were amazing, You may be able to find the one on clark on bbc iplayer if your lucky.

Hill was fantastic, he was everything a driver should be. And I know people say.. its not about personality, its about how they drive. But that's untrue, i look for personality in a driver because thats what they are.. a driver, they're human. Graham Hill was as human as you can get, funny, witty & proud of what he did. And his will to get back in the car, they said he had to be lifted out of the car because his knees were still buggered.

Stewart was fantastic too, the way him, Hill & Clark interacted was fantastic, we dont see it these days. They were all friends, close friends, especially him and Cevert (RIP).

They made me quite emotional seeing that kind of thing happen actually. Passion back in the 60's is what F1 needs now.

2.Valentino Rossi - Reason; His heroic stand in the moto grandprix world. His mind and personallity that set him aside from everyone else. His pure talent and energy and that Itallian charisma that charms all petrol heads. He is a one off, a king that defy's man and gravity. So great that i can't explain him, except from refering to him as the 'Phenom'

I really don't get you.
You made anal love to Lorenzo when you first came on here saying he was better than Rossi.??


Bring a comment or opinion not a childish calling. I admire Rossi's talent. End off. So just drop it sheesh?

Bleeding hell, talk about blowing it out of proportion.


I am a yamaha man. Support all of them :cloud9:

1. Ayrton
2. Lewis
3. Montoya
4. Rossi
5. Hard, really hard. I think Gilles .....but it could easily be Clark, Moss, Stewart or either of the Hills.
