not on about Lewis in paticular, but how bright do you have to be to drive an F1 car, I think it is more about talent and drive to want it.

There are/were some smart drivers and they usually did very very well because of that.

Dont think you can equate brains or lack off with the fact that the person chooses to race. Of course talent is a huge requisit, and desire and work ethic but the driver can still be intelligent. Prost was, Damon Hill was, and many many others were and are.

Racechick, dont you find it a bit exhausting having to defend all the time? Jabberwocky's observation is quite correct though.

Yeah well, you had to say something like this knowing that you're a big fan of Mr. Chubby - not the sharpest knife in the drawer fo shure) - and LH (with questionable IQ in the mid to high double digits)

Not sure what you mean, defend all the time? I said being a driver and being intelligent are not mutually exclusive, and that is a fact. And which observation of Jabberwocky's are you saying is correct? That talent is more important than intelligence? I totally agree.
