There's a pretty good DTM driver named Mattias Ekström I think you all heard of. He won the DTM-challenge in 2004 and now he just did it again. The thing is that he has refused offers from F1-teams earlier because he felt pleased in the german challenge.

Last year he also won the Race of Champions at Wembley in front of the F1 and WRC-elite, and now he will try to defend this title at December 16th. In other words he's going to face for example Michael Schumacher, all drivers in identical cars.

If Ekström would consider to compete in F1 - do you think he would success?

he is probably getting on the older side to become an F1 driver now, he is 30 next year. but you never know hey?!

I prefer Valentino Rossi in F1, but Ekstrom is a very good driver.

Sure Hill made his debut at 32 so as you say you just never know!

Although the Race of "Champions" (cough: why are people like Button there) is a good event, it's like saying that because I'm an eight-time Formula One champion on the PlayStation II, I'm a better driver than Schumacher in real life.

Playstation 2 is for n00bs, surely someone as hardcore as yourself has a PS3 McLaren Fan...
