Jean Alesi is a "pilote" in the old fashioned sense of the word. Not a pretty, politically correct fashion plate with a wallet for a soul and a stock ticker for a heart. Just like Gilles, he would rather give it everything he has and end up in the dirt than trail along safely and quietly in ninth place. And I for one would like to see more Alesi type pilotes in F1 and fewer of the present type. When Jean hangs 'em up a lot of the colour will go out of F1.
But then F1 is only about making lots of money and Buying Things, isn't it? Sorry, I keep forgetting.
