Okay, so you expected a list from me! I've only been watching F1

Hienz Harald Frentzein would win 1st place hands down! In the words of
my friend, Michael Schumacher's new wife sure thinks so!

Hands down?? HHF? Hmm. He's not that ugly. Actually, he's better looking
than spoon face. I think spoon face's new wife is attracted to me with huge...
egos, of course!! :)

Nikki Lauda? If that was meant to be clever or funny it wasn't. To
entertain fools like you Lauda paid a terrible price. Further, he could
have chosen to withdraw from life and remain reclusive as many in his
situation have. But he chose instead to live openly and successfully,
refusing to he hobbled by circumstance. You should admire the man rather
than make cruel fun of him.

Schumacher's face is a little slanted?

When Mrs Plant was gazing through an old autocourse the other day she
suddenly let out a horrified yelp:

"Who's that horrible gorilla?" she asked,

Well I took a look and I could only agree with her as to the sheer
bulldog chewing a hornet - like face of the F1 star.

who was it you ask?

none other than Michele Alboreto.

Well, indeed it's sick to make fun of Lauda's current "looks". However I
just saw Lauda in a programme on NBC Super Channel and he looked appalling
(before the crash). The programme was about the (a?) year James Hunt became
world champion. That's the same year that Lauda's had his accident.

BTW, this has to be the weirdest thread yet!

And he is one of the few (only) MD for an airline who actually can fly
some of the planes in his fllet.

Lauda is absolutely worth all admiration he can get!

Yeah, but she's dredged up a reference to the only instance I
can remember of a F1 driver being hit *by* the safety car.
