Default Who the Best Formula 1 driver now?

Just want to know. Is it still M. Shumacher, J. Villenueve, and D. Coulthard? I remember couple of years back, Villenueve was good as hell in renault.

Even if I don't like him very much, Schumacher is still the best out there, coupled with the Ferrari... Kimi is also good, but maybe still to young, but if I'd have to bet on the next ruler of F1, I'd put my money on him

Shumi is the one. And he will be till 2006

Kimi has potential to be like Shummi in the future.

Montoya has shown that he can drive extrmely competitively, but he still screws up from time to time. If he can get a handle on that, he could be very good.

Default fernando alonso

This year in the first part of season the best is alonso. He has a car bad that mclaren, ferrari, bmw and he is third in the list, only shumacher and raikonen are top him.
Alonso in a ferrari could win 3 or 4 races this year, He only is 21 years.

The problem at the moment, is a drivers pure talent can be shielded by the quality of the team/car he races in. Although im looking 4ward 2 silverstone, when they take away traction control, mite bring sum new faces 2 the front!?? and wet races will b gud 2 watch just 4 teh powerslides!!!!!!
I think the wings on the cars need 2 b changed, 2 allow the car behind 2 b less disrupted when it gets on the ass of the one infront! (like in CART), passings wat races r about so i wanna c sum!!!!!!!!!

I thought they postponed the new traction control rules until next season. The FIA said something about not having the resources to effectively enforce that rule at this time.
