Ok Ladies can we hold it right there!!!!! Heroes please, debate about whether or not Norman Wisdom would have won at least 5 Championships in a Brawn uber-design without resorting to 'dodgems' should be moved to another thread - Feel free Coulthard fan.
None of the above should be interpreted as a personal bias, it might very well be - just don't interpret it that way!
Further digression will be eradicated, respect my authoritah ((c) Cartman)
Alanis Morissette wrote a song with a title that is suited here :pQuote:

Bottom of the pile MSc for his cheating and anti-sportsmanship - I'll never forgive the deliberate crash into Hill, Villeneuve and the rascasse incident.
......and Mike will go to his grave a bitter broken man for never having received your forgiveness. :s tareup:
Alan Jones - I was 13 when I read an article in "Wheels" magazine (OZ car mag that had occasional international motorsport coverage) when he was driving the FW06. Apparently that car was a very good one, it's only issue being timing as most other teams had adopted ground effect at that time (1979). The article, if I recall correctly spoke to a few teams/engineers regarding the upcoming FW07 and they were all anticipating that it might be a good thing. How right they were - one WDC and nearly a 2nd (if not for Reutemann). He was a hard man and his duels with Villeneuve were legendary.
Gilles Villeneuve - I have banged on enough about him on other threads, suffice to say I still have his poster on the wall of my shed next to a poster of Mick Doohan.
I'll repeat what I recently posted in "another place":
To be a "hero" really presupposes some single outstanding deed (eg. rescuing another driver) that outweighs all other faults, or, that the individual really is a person with no scheming "side" whatsoever to them. The latter rules out virtually all successfull people in any sport, business etc. not just F1 or motorsport in general.
In the latter category from F1 I would place Jim Clark and Tony Brooks...and I'm struggling for any other names.
