After Hakkinen's two world titles Michael Schumacher pumped out five and Alonso then sealed two.

But drivers who were once very highly regarded feel almost forgotten now. Fisichella, Trulli, Coulthard... They've all achieved more than Nico Rosberg, but what a great driver he looks at the moment!

I wonder if in time this last decade will b elooked upon as anything great at all other than Schumi's seven titles.
We can all look through rose tinted glasses at the past, but the last decade for me has been nothing at all compared with the 90's and 80's. Maybe it is just age, I'm growing up at last.
The 2000-2010 decade hasn't excited me at all although this years title battle has revived interest.
So in ten years time will I remember Rosberg, Kubica, Alonso, Webber and Hamilton with the same respect and affection I think of when I consider Prost Senna, Mansell, Piquet, Rosberg snr, Warwick, berger, Nannini, Albereto, Cheever et al.
