    The first that jumps to mind is Riccardo Patrese. Also Ronnie Peterson, after the excellent film which Top Gear did recently on the Lotus 79.

    Perhaps Villeneuve: 13?

    …or Brambilla: 1?

    How about Fabi: 2?

    I think I’m working along the same lines as @Alonshow, but I reckon Schumacher: 182

    Keep it, and demand compensation from the FIA for nicking your idea :)

    Definitely Kvyat round the outside on Gutierrez – a great piece of gutsy opportunism and racing instinct.

    Has to be Bottas on Gutierrez – was a bold and ballsy pass in an inferior car, in a location where few attempted a pass all race long.

    I fear Kubica’s hand will end up like Massa’s head or Herbert’s foot. He’ll come back, but will never quite reach his old level. But I would love to be proved wrong, and for Kubica’s hand to emulate Schumacher’s legs or Lauda’s burns.

    1) Do you spend some money on F1 or get along with what is available for free (websites, free-to-air TV coverage)?

    Apart from a TV license, I don’t spend any money on F1. I won’t be paying for Sky.

    2) What kind of F1 related items do you usually buy and how often? Race tickets, magazines, books, model cars, teamwear, DVDs,…?

    I don’t buy merchandise, and I no longer subscribe to F1Racing magazine (too expensive, and with the pace of F1 news these days, it’s out of date by the time it lands on the doormat).

    I’ve never been to a race. I’d love to, and I live conveniently close to Silverstone, but for me it’s prohibitively expensive. I was considering planning a holiday in Turkey to attend the Turkish GP next year (given that it’s a great track, and the tickets are some of the cheapest on the calendar). But now it looks like the GP will be cancelled; perhaps I’ll go to the Hungaroring instead.

    3) Do you save money by refusing from something just to be able to spend it on F1 related stuff? I mean, do you buy less clothes, avoid eating out or do whatever else just because so there is more left for F1?

    No.

    4) Approximately how big part of your “entertainment budget” is spent on F1? One tenth, one third, one half?

    Nil.

    I think McLaren would want another top-line driver and Ferrari would want another fast doormat… Here’s how things could look next year if this happened. I’ve used the current 2011 constructors championship standings (mostly) to determine the numbers etc.

    Red Bull Racing-Renault

    1. Sebastian Vettel

    2. Mark Webber (really not sure Webber will hang around to get trounced again, but gave him the benefit of the doubt)

    3. Sebastien Buemi

    Vodafone McLaren-Mercedes

    4. Lewis Hamilton

    5. Jenson Button

    6. Nico Rosberg

    Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro

    7. Fernando Alonso

    8. Felipe Massa

    9. Timo Glock

    Lotus Renault GP

    10. Robert Kubica (provided he’s fit again, here’s hoping)

    11. Vitaly Petrov

    12. Bruno Senna

    Mercedes GP Petronas F1 Team

    14. Nico Hülkenberg

    15. Michael Schumacher (let’s see if his odd-number preference extends to numbers >13)

    16. Nick Heidfeld

    Sauber F1 Team-Ferrari

    17. Kamui Kobayashi

    18. Sergio Pérez

    19. Sam Bird

    Scuderia Toro Rosso-Ferrari

    20. Jaime Alguersuari

    21. Daniel Ricciardo

    22. Jules Bianchi

    Force India F1 Team-Mercedes

    I remember the last few races of the 1994 season; I was 9 years old. I particularly remember watching in disbelief as Schumacher clattered Hill in Adelaide and won the championship. It was only when I got a book of F1 history for Christmas soon afterwards that I even heard of Senna, Prost, Fangio, Stewart, Clark… and was saddened to realise that I had missed the chance to see Senna and Prost race by a matter of months.
