As a huge fan of Eddie myself I can't believe you managed to write this without rambling on about his off track charisma, his huge following and fan club, his famous clash with Senna, his love of Ferraris and his all round greatness. Very Impressive article but I'm afraid I'd have to favour Schumacher and Villeneuve! Has any one done articles on them yet because I might just have to even things out a bit?

Unfortuanately I happen to know waht the guy is like when he comes back home. Easy to keep it objective.

His parents live in a village about a mile from here. But when he's home he's so high an mighty it's unreal.

Does that mean you live near Bono from U2 as well then or is that Irv's other home?
Do you know if anyone has written an article on Villeneuve as if not then I'll write one so that the best driver (excluding Schumi of course) is up here too!
Are you a member of his fan club or just knowledgable about him?

I live near where he was born. In fact I've written an article on Conlig which is the village he comes from. I'm old enough to be in with people who know him, and the result is that I've seen what a two faced guy he can be.

But are you a fan of Formula 1?

I admire his driving just not the man. Yes I'm a big fan of F1 pop into the Forum and Firkin after the next GP and join the post race analysis and drinks.

...The what? Isn't that the fictional pub in F1 News? I'm confused how do I find that then? Does it matter if I support Michael or will I get shouted at and banned? How about Jenson because in fairness I've followed him for the past three years so I'm not really a screaming teenage groupy type person
Although much to my disgust after mudstone this year I went on the Williams site and there was a picture of me and Jenson with a caption saying "Jenson delights his screaming teenage fans" and I was so unamused!
Do you talk about other motorsport in the forum or just F1 cause I'm a rally (Richard Burns for champion!) fan too?

Sorry the Forum and Firkin is one of the H2G2 pubs. Menza, myself and Dr. E Vibenstein and a few other big F1 fans usually meet up there after every GP. Here's the link. http://www.h2g2.com/A187508 this is the current forum http://www.h2g2.com/F24306?thread=56055
