Default Which current driver......

would you want to see duke it out with Schumi? me personally, LEWIS!

i feel bad for massa but this is like seeing Kobe play Jordan. you always wonder what would happen if senna, schumi, lewis in their prime with equal cars who would come out the winner. with mclaren and ferrari doing a 1-2 in the last race it could be possible to see a schumi vs. lewis or vice versa pass on a corner.

i'm also wondering how battle tested schumi is since being retired for nearly 3 years. i can't wait to see how he does when the light turns green...

Alonso. No doubt. Lewis is good but when under pressure, hasn't been able to come up with the goods including is fluke of a WC from 2008.

we've seen schumi and alonso go at it but i wouldn't mind some more.

i don't think it was a fluke lewis won in 2008. the guy just doesn't know how to take it easy and bring it home for the win. he's always pushing the car to its limits rain or shine.

x2. i think a lewis vs. shumi battle would be good but i think throw alonso in the mix and it gets even better.

IMO, alonso is more firey than lewis. he'll match up with schumi real good.

FA is the only driver to beat MS fair and square to a championship in '06. '05 was another FIA screwed up season, so I don't count that season...

Nope - it was the screwed up points system that gave LH the title.

FM should have had the title as he had the most wins, but thanks to the current points system that the FIA put in place to stop Ferrari and MS from winning titles halfway through a season, we get a driver without the most wins as the champion...

it will be interesting to see lewis and MS go down into a corner.
I don't expect either to lift and they both have incredible car control skills.
we could be in for some incredible racing.
