Michael Schumacher. His donations to the Tsunami cause, etc, during his Ferrari time were quite significant.

He's the dirtiest racer though, but that's another story of course.

Breaking News:Lewis Hamilton has officially overtaken The Fonz in race wins. With 88 races less. Lol(Without a specially built blown diffuser, illegal front wing, preferential treatment)

Schumi, Nico, Vettel, Ricciardo (Red Bull Test Driver), Button

The non-nicest would have to be Webber/Alonso

Nice guys finish last!

Look to the rear end of the grid!

Button, Kubica, Massa and Vettel (yes, Vettel.)

Someone once said Kubica whines about the car when he's not doing well. bullpoo or any truth about this?

If you read most of there twitter feeds from F1 the nice guys finish last is quite a good statment. The HRT drivers seem to be living the dream and don't mind sharing the "new" experiences they are having with everyone. Lotus seem a bit more PR savvy on twitter but say a lot about what is going on at raceweekends etc

A racing car that does not win, is just art

Barrichello, Jenson, Heikki, Massa, Sutil... Nakajima was super polite.
Nico is a nice guy too. Has taken the Shumacher situation very level headed...

Came out fighting indeed.

I'd have to agree with most here, Reubens, Jenson, Heikki.

I must admit that pre-Valencia I was seriously enjoying seeing Domenicali whenever he was interviewed on the BBC. He's got one of those faces that just looks friendly, and has a fantastic smile. His grasp of English is just bad enough to be chaming, but he speaks well enough to be able to talk about the sport with intelligence and humour.

Now whether that makes him nice I doubt. You don't get to top management (or driving) postitions by being constantly nice.

And post Valencia and Silverstone, I imagine he's been anything BUT nice to certain people.

But then after the robot that was Todt, I suppose anyone who smiled in that job would come over as "nice".

^^ yeah, Domenicalli is a nice guy, but he's not been able to guide Ferrari smoothly... maybe it will happen with some key personnel.

Also, Whitmarsh is nice. I think he is the best team principal. Even better than Brawn. The new guy at Renault seems super competent as well.

Came out fighting indeed.

We used to do "who would you like to go to the pub for a drink with?" Which is a slightly different proposition, but similar sentiment.

For having a proper all out drinking party, then it would have to be Raikonnen and Eddie Irvine... For a nice quiet drink, Reubens and Johnnie Herbert... For gossip and scandal Damon Hill and Eddie Irvine (again)... And for a good old fashioned punch-up, Lewis and Fernando. If kinky is your thing, then just invite Max out for an evening's fun.
