Can't say I have an opinion between the two, well before my time.

During the wholly disappointing film Rush I did find myself on Lauda's side the entire time.

The difference between them wasn't as much as the movie wood have you believe and they were good friends through their entire career. A lot of the animosity in the movie was bs. That said, Lauda was a calculating driver while Hunt was more carefree and wood take risks and was generally a little moar reckless.

Yee, I've read that, thus why I specified movie

I like emotional drivers, just need some level of self-control.

I'm not sure Lewis really fits that, but he's been my favorite on the grid since his debut. His current hair is awful doe.

I put a couple of Senna stickers on my car on the 10th anniversary of his passing. Kept them on for a few months after but got tired of the "what's that Sienna sticker?" question.

Here's how the sticker looked on my car. I had one on the other side too. People at Willow Springs that day (May 2, 2004) knew the significance of it and that it was the 10th anniversary of his passing. But outside of that everyone asked who or what "Sienna" was.

Honestly.

I guess bluuu wasn't on the panel. I am shocked that he got nothing else but I'm also not bothered by it. I wouldn't have been bothered if he had been DQ'd either. Just didn't think a race ban for next race was warranted.

Bah he could be anywhere in the world he wants for the evening to celebrate lol. I'm sure he isn't that bothered by it. Especially since he still has his WDC lead intact.
