Overlag you are joking right?  The videos clearly show MS turning his steering wheel to drive into JV's car.

F1, Indy, Champ Car; Alex Zanardi has to have some of the biggest stones.

Quote
from the Champ Car web site, Dec 8

Alex Zanardi was awarded his second 'achievement' trophy at London's prestigious Autosport Awards on Sunday. The Italian was given the Gregor Grant Trophy in recognition of completing the 13 laps at the Lausitzring in a specially adapted Champ Car less than two years after losing his legs in crash there.
 
"This is a fantastic honor," said Zanardi. "To win it once was very special. To win it a second time makes me very, very proud." The two-time Champ Car champion was leading the race when he crashed with 13 laps to go in September 2001. This year he returned to the track and in a special ceremony before the race lapped at over 197mph.



Reminds me of Niki Lauda's come back.

I don't think he was the best driver.  Clark and Stewart were clearly faster driving the same car at Lotus and BRM respectively.  But as a sportsman and gentleman, he was the last of a breed.  There's noboby remotely like him anymore.  :(

I think F1 Magazine last year had as the all time top ten drivers start with:

Clark
Schumacher
Fangio

personally...nothing better than the red ones going around with schuey in it...

'05 could be really interesting with Montoya in a McLaren, Webber in a Williams, and possibly Ralf in a toyota.

If the toyota can get better reliability/speed in '04, Da Matta looks the business....
