Since we are talking about the "best of the rest" you can figure it out yourself.
Even if I don't like him there is no way denying that he and Ferrari are currently the best package on the grid.

I'd agree with your top 3 best of the rest apart from Sato. He is still only really showing potential, not fulfilling it. So in my humble opinion, cannot be included as 'best of the rest'. I get the impression Fisi could win a championship in a minardi and you wouldn't be impressed Vader :P I reckon if Massa started driving smoother he would actually be slower than he is. But hey, go on rating him highly, just makes Fisi look better :P
Anyway, my top 3 would have Trulli, Fisi & Button.

Fisi has been in F1 for 9 seasons now and no top team has ever shown any interest in him. If he really had the potential to win the championship somebody in a responsible position would have noticed. Massa had been Ferrari test driver - so the Scuderia obviously rates him more then Fisi. From all what i have seen of him and compared to tons of other drivers I have seen since the 70s, I don't think Fisi is anything special. he is certainly not bad, but he isn't amongst the best. Besides Fisi is 31 now - not exactly a young gun anymore. Time is running out for him.

Larini, Badoer and Burti have all been Ferrari test drivers too, they are all shat! Besides, Ferrari taking on Massa as test driver last season probably has more to do with their 'special' relationship with Sauber. I will buy you a pint, maybe even two, if Massa ever drivers for Ferrari :P
Yea time is running out for Fisi but i'm adamant that he's much more deserving of top seat than DC & Ralf. And i'd argue he deserves it more than Webber, Villeneuve, Rubens and Button. But there ya go, I hope he does get a chance, even if i'm to be proved wrong.

I always thought Burti was not too bad, unfortunately your confidence cannot be at its highest when a senior member of your team announces that you will be replaced for the next season before that season has even begun! Niki Lauda was an idiot, and Jag treated him badly.
After he went to Prost, he had awful luck, which culmulated in that huge smash at Spa, which Martin Brundle said later he 'thought he was commentating on his first fatality.'
Burti = talent scuppered by bad treatment, then bad luck.

Due to the voting system in Germany, Governments are always made up of coalitions of different parties. At the last election, an almost unprecidented result saw the CDU/CSU (rough equivilant of the Conservatives) go into Government with the SPD (rough equivilant of Labour)

I don't think Burti is shít either. I also don't think you can blame Lauda for Burti's treatment at the Jags. I think Lauda is one of the most upright characters in F1.
Villeneuve came as a champ to Williams from the USA and did win the title in his second year. Fisi has nothing really impressive on his career card.

Yea I know Burti isn't shat. But you get my general point about being a Ferrari test driver. When was the last time one actually ended up racing for them and/or being v good?
I'm pretty sure Fisi could have won the title in his second year at Williams
I'd say Fisi's whole record against any teammate he's ever had speaks for itself. I did a big post detailing every season since '97 for him. Will find it if anybody wants a peek.

Webber and Alonso aren't shining this year, but I still think they're quality drivers. Webber is a very intelligent driver, as well as being fast. During 2003 it seemed as though he had that Schumacher-esque ability to reserve a certain amount of his concentration for other factors, enhancing his race craft. He made intelligent decisions with tyres and things like that. Similarly, I do not think we have seen Alonso's true potential at all this year. He also has demonstrated incredible racecraft - Spain last year wasn't voted F1 Racing's "Drive of the Year" for nothing. He was consistently blisteringly quick, and really kept Michael honest. He could slam in the fast laps just when he needed to. Seldom do we see anyone other than Schumacher doing that.

True, but why is Trulli showing him the way this season more often than not? When was the last time he outperformed Trulli for a weekend btw? I'm thinking Australia?

I suspect a lot of members of this board can relate more to Schumacher than Senna.
isnt the only one to do that though alex, id say a lot of drivers cam, id also say its one of the most overhyped part of his driving!
LOL - I respect your opinion and everything but it is the part of his driving that often wins a Grand Prix. Call that over-hyped if you want!
