Hi,
As a member of The Guild of Motoring Writers I have just received a voting form for the prestigious "Driver of the Year" Award
Nominees are . . .
Richard Burns
David Coulthard
Mika Hakkinen
Tommy Makinen
Colin McRea
Juan Pablo Montoya
Kimi Raikonnen
Michael Schumacher
Justin Wilson
The Award will be presented at a Dinner held at the Royal Automobile Club, Pall Mall on 29th November.
I know who my money`s on, but I just wondered what the popular consensus of opinion was amongst Scoobynetters.
Oh yeah almost forgot, the guest speaker at the dinner is Dave Richards (Chairman Subaru works rally team)
Cheers
SCOOP

Love him or hate him Michael Schumacher is a great driver and has had the perfect season in F1. I'll vote for him but it is a tough choice. All the others have performed well this year.

Montoya. Aggressively pass Michael Schumacher 3 times in your rookie season. Say no more the guy's the greatest thing since Senna.

simon is a great driver.
ask him if he thinks he deserves driver of the year?
or if he considers himself in the league of the others in the list.
No one ever said I was better.
