I thought Bella made a good point near the start of the thread about the 'natural race face'. Many of the analytical skills of drivers need to come naturally. You can only learn them to a certain degree if you want to be a relentlessly fast and intelligent racer. Actually, I think 'intelligence' is a large part these days, an ability to multi-task is required and drivers need that spare capacity.

A lot of drivers come across as intelligent when they aren't giving the mundane PR answers to the mundane questions. Look at Rosberg and his juggling and unicycling; he comes across as a bright chap, for example.

People say you need ruthlessness, but I think this is in terms of your application and dedication. You don't need to screw other people over though.

“Joking apart, I want to tell you that I’m happy to be alongside you at Ferrari; I think we make up a good duo, respecting one another and working well together, in the knowledge that the interests of the team come before those of the individual.

“Now I hope we will soon a have a car good enough to see us fight for the top places, after which it will be down to the two of us to try and win.”

You see. One of Alonso's many attributes is the ability to be nice, but at the same time making sure that his team mate knows what the bigger picture is.
The perfect example of how one can hijack a thread being nice and still get away with it ! Cheers !

It's remarkable Alonso is so young when you think what he's achieved. He's making me feel old (and I'm but 27).
