it makes a change to have a driver like lewis who is not afraid to go for it every race ,the other drivers can?

It does, there have been similar chargers before:

Alonso is arguably of the same ilk as is Kimi, but former drivers l have admired for being ''pure'' racers would be:

Juan Pablo Montoya
Nigel Mansell
Ayrton Senna

.

Lisa W always with maturity.

Anyway, yes, it is good. A lot of others seem to feel he is overambitious bordering on dangerous, but l have only seen that displayed a couple of times at Monza, when l feel he was reacting to a decision at Spa.

Most of the time u will see his overtaking work. He seems to have a way of intimidating his opponents into a mistake or will sense a gap & is incisive when going for it.

Sometimes he is impetuous which l do not like, but that will fade in time l hope.

Yes, very refreshing. Alonso is also doing the same this year & it seems to have put a bit of spark throughout the grid.

Lovely, wonderful, super.

And Lisa W..B*llocks!! Big, hairy mature ones :)

Julian - Hahahaha made me laugh mate, but u & yer dog ai not gettin none..and why have l suddenly started to type all Cockney like, little wink, da da, da dum dum dum, hey! Most peculiar?

PS Anyone going into snap oversteer on a Twiglet should be very careful. l am surprised we do not hear more about it.

*edit* eh! where did Lisa W go?

.

Yes, his gung ho approach always livens up a race, weather its a great overtake or a spin, collision, off track exploration..
Its the way F1 drivers used to be, sadly many got so used to following Schumacer around, they do not know any different.
Not so long ago the field was littered with drivers like him in style, Vertappen, J.Villeneuve, Hakkinen, Irvine, Alesi, frenzen all game to try and make something happen irrespective of race position.

There r two types of ppl in the World.one which shouts out that ''i am talented,i am best & l am great'' & the other one who never talks anything & just does his work.

Lewis is the first case & kimi the second one.

At SPA kimi was like an injured soldier with that ferrari which had almost no front tyre grip fighting against the best car in the rain'McLaren MP4-23...Still he gave an really tough competition to Lewis ..to tackle which he had to cheat!!

Well we saw how aggressive Kimi Raikkonen can get after watching Spa (overtaking 4 cars at the first two laps) then battling Hamilton with a crippled braking system. (Monza went from 14th to 9th, without having to push other drivers off track). Singapoure coming back from 16th to 5th before crashing his car. Fuji (His battle with Kubica).
Not to mention his 2005 season which he used to overtake about 10 cars every race & last year is Monza, China & Brazil
l think Kimi is a decent drivers who u feel comfortable watching him driving compared to Lewis- Wanna win it all- Hamilton.
Lewis is maturing up & he does not want to win it all anymore as we have seen in Valencia & Singapoure.
Bottomline is: Gain most points u win

Montoya was a ballsy racer but he used to push his car to breaking point and make a lot of driving mistakes. It is a shame he did not win the title in 2003 however.

To add to David W is list what about bloke called Michael Schumacher? Pretty much every race he participated in he aimed to win it-even in a shitey car.
Also Jacques Villenueve, but for his visibly decreasing spirit in his time at BAR Racing, he was pure entertaining joy to watch- his overtake of Schumacher at Portugal in 1996 on the OUTSIDE of the last corner still makes me smile.Possibly the only guy next to Hakkinen who Schumi could not intimidate

Two great racers
They kicked ss.
