drove with his heart
adored by fans and foes alike
died doing what he loved
immortal ...

That covers it for me

I would like to be Dan Gurney. No heavy accidents, manufacturer, driver, talent scout... and still alive and well after his career. All this 'dying in the saddle' means **** to me...

Management will not make up for lack of talent. Fisichella had atleast two years alongside Alonso in world championship winning cars, and we all know how much he achieved, or rather, underachieved. See Rubens Barrichello, David Coulthard etc for more example of people who had good management, competetive cars, and, sucked.

But hey, we're talking fantasy anyway; and I do not think there is anything wrong in dreaming to be an underperforming loser. Different strokes for different folks and all that.

Yep, as clampett said, this is absolutely nothing but trolling.

Mario Andretti...?

Amazing family with a racing pedigree. Raced and won in just about everything!

Welcome aboard.

Glad somebody finally mentioned the man in my avatar.

I'd be him just to prove that one could be an anarchist rather than a right winger and do what he did.

Always Ferrari

Nice way to start your postage -- good thread, and a good choice.


Nice tribute to GV, Rexx

Because nobody mess with JPM.
He made his point clear since the beginning.
Guts, Pride, Bravery... I like it a lot coming from a Latino.

[MortenF1]

Hmm. I don't know, he doesn't seem to be as tough as he had a reputation for being. He left McLaren with the tail between his legs.

then you did not "know" JPM. he left Mclaren and F1 with his head up and with the full pride that that decision brings. hes a racer, not a politician nor a race engineer, when he was fed up he left, thats bravery man.

Or perhaps he was too much of a chickenshit to stand up to Kimi.


And I seriously doubt if you knew JPM either. The only thing ANY of us on this BB know with 1 or 2 notable exceptions is what their publicists want us to know.

Some publications say JPM left in almost an irrational blur.

Nelson Piquet

Lots of challenges developing tyres, turbos, and other never-before-seen things of F-1

Possibility to work with Gordon Murray.

Possibility to work with Mansell (and make tons of jokes) and Michael Schumacher

3 WDC

Great sense of humour

Tons of interesting female companions

Possibility to show Senna how to drive in Hungaroring.

Tons of money


... I'd just make two changes: no Indianapolis adventure, and I'd use preservatives more often.

IF you still think it was because of KIMI that JPM left then there is no point in "arguing" with you. it was all down to Ron Dennis and his incompetence as a leader and a provider for his drivers...and of course JPM's temper.

is it rational to say NO-more-to-this-sh*** to the pinnacle of motor sports?

by the way what publicist?... what are they trying you to know?
with Juan Pablo Montoya there are many things that are undeniable.
am I saying that he's the best? the only thing that I (as a JPM publicist... if you thing I'm one of those) is that the man has GUTS.

[giacomo]

Probably Jochen Rindt.

I would have to say that I would like to develop my own style, as that is something I would be able to exert most influence. Sure that I would study techniques of MS, AS, and AP as leading drivers, what they did right and what they did wrong, but dosen't hurt to look around what others is my situation are doing. At the end decidely I would try different styles, stick to the one which suits to me, and try to be best at it. So its composite vision of being perfect, personal abilities, and circumstances (as one needs luck too). No need to assume anyone' personality, but your own.

I don't know if I want to be JPM anymore.... I think it's better to be KIMI: hot chicks, nice cars, booze, speed...

I suppose he referes to their 1986 duel there, when Piquet made indeed quite a brilliant move on Senna into the first corner (it's on youtube, of course).

OTOH, I'm not so sure Piquet enjoyed his time with Mansell - the move Nigel pulled on him in Silverstone '87 was even more humilating than what Piquet did to Senna in Hungary; after all Piquet and Mansell drove the same car.

Piquet made a bad tire choice and had serious problems iirc. it was a bit like Alonso at monaco 2005. even so a very good overtaking. Some you lose. some you win...
