    Prost tends to be (undeservedly in my opinion) a villain for quite a few fans so I thought I’d post this article @DanThorn sent me to show that he’s actually fairly underrated http://www.talkingaboutf1.com/2011/07/in-defence-of-alain-prost.html

    Heroes:
    Vettel
    McLaren-Raikkonen
    McLaren-Hakkinen
    2007 Hamilton
    Gilles Villeneuve
    Jim Clark

    Villains:
    Back in the day, Schumacher. His ruthlessness and winning streak made for the perfect pantomime villain.
    Alonso. Ditto Schumacher.
    2007-2009 Raikkonen. Not through his own fault. Schumacher left a bitter taste of “Evil Empire” Ferrari in my mouth – and Raikkonen just happened to inherit his job.
    Webber
    Anyone involved in a title fight with one of my heroes :P
