never liked him, never will. he's very arrogant, overconfident, and worst of all undertalented. the reason he was good in 2000 are the car. IMO alonso is much more talented than he is. renault should fired him, luckily he's on free transfer.

Don't really agree with most of that other than the Alonso part. If it was really all about cars in 2000 than Ralf must be a pretty crappy driver(seeing how Button out-qualified him many times driving the same car), but he is not.....

personal opinion my friend.... i just dont like the bastard.... too arrogant for my taste.

He's British :)

Anyways, he's all right with me. You can't exactly call a 20 year old F1 driver undertalented. He's no Schumi, but trust me, he can drive a car (well...any of them can)

He seems like the typical British racing driver to me. They all come from rich families who forced them into go carts before they could walk.

Lucky bastards :)

The Rally drivers don't seem as bad. They seem to have a more working class way about them.

Well, I wouldn't group people like Clark or Stewart with arrogant bastards :)

Well I know if I ever have kids I will have them racing before they can walk. That's how champions are made and if he doesn't like racing, too bad. jk, I'll let him do other shit, but I'll at least give him the opportunity to be something special in motorsports since most of these great drivers you hear that they were driving when they were 5.

Sports Car guy are OK too....Guy Smith, James Weaver, Andy Wallace...etc Those are some genuinely nice people.....

assuming you know them.....

anyway. the old timers seems to have their manners under control but not the new generation UK drivers.

Seen all of them in person and talked to them briefly last year when I went to the ALMS race at Mosport.....really nice people....

Perhaps you just don't like the mannerisms and the way young Brits talk. Hell, I don't like it myself, I want to get away from it.

exactly.... except for tony blair, i got plenty of respect for the UK senior citizens.

Hmmm, British people arrogant and annoying? I dunno, a lot of em seem to be nice. But the rich ones...****in bitch slap em. That goes for rich *******s in America too. A lot of the time, the richer they are, the ruder they are, and the closer they are to getting cheap, economy sized can of whoop-ass. 30% of em won't do any good. They could be on their death beds and still be talkin shit. :rolleyes:
