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.

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.

Petoir, when you say 3 passing moves "usa,brazil" is the third, the one where he ended up in the gravel in Austria.
