Could be, but not in an Italian newspaper's poll.

not in a German poll either,maybe a world wide poll

Not according to the FIA's world-wide survey published last year.

According to that, Michael was the most popular by some margin, followed by Kimi, Jenson and Fernando.

The least popular driver was a Schumacher, the one called Ralf.

I think MS will probably be the most popular F1 driver ever.

No surprise here. Of course it also helps that he's the most recent world champion driving a Ferrari. And also he drove very recently, there's 25 years since Villeneuve last raced.

Hardly a surprise, Michael won 5 crowns for Ferrari, more than any other driver.

Exactly. I wonder how many of those who completed the poll (online?) ever saw Villeneuve race, or know how loved he was/is by Ferrari fans and F1 fans the world over.
