Thank goodness... I'd like to see he Hulk get it (as he was a Formula BMW driver) but my money would be on Di Resta. |

I would like to see MS at Sauber,. I just think it would be interesting to see him in a midfield team because every now and then they do something spectacular and it would be great to see how he could help raise their game |

I'd like to have Di Resta at Ferrari. He seems like a decent fellow, and has speed. |

Has Ferrari ever had a scot drive for them? It's a serious questions I am not that familiar with their history, so did Clark, Surtees or the guy who wears the silly suits, Stewart drive for them? |

I just had a quick browse. It appears that no Scot has driven for Ferrari. |

Well if we are to be accurate there have been no Scottish F1 drivers (nor English, Welsh or Northern Irish for that matter) only British drivers... But with only a handful of the 158 British drivers to have raced at least one race since 1950 coming from Scotland then the odds of one getting to drive a Ferrari are quite low... but if Massa is really on his way out then history may well be about to be made. |

Well just so you know john, it doesn't make any difference how you think of people, they still come from somewhere, me, from England, Cheshire, but apart from missing my friends family and the landscape and the earth, I don't really consider myself as having any 'national' identity. I now live in Uruguay South America. I think it's sad that a race of people who simply go about their daily business get blamed for the atrocities caused by a selfish few and that happens all over the world. I'd rather see a British Football team than an english one, but I am happy that people retain their local identity, people of Yorkshire are different to londoners to welsh people to Devon people to people from Scotland etc. |

Nationality is a deeply personal thing, I mean for most people it is fairly simple as their country is a single soverign entity, Some nations however, like the UK, is more complex as the one nation is actually a composite of four sub nations (in Union)... Then you get the added complexity of sub sub-national identies which can take pirority over even the national identity (like being a Texan, or Yorkshireman or in Ireland a Corkman) it can get real messy when trying to classify these people officially. With my comment above I was merely pointing out that in terms of the nationality of F1 drivers they are British and not English or Scottish at leat not 'officially'. Of course most people will see F1 drivers like Clark, Stewart and Coultard as being Scotts, myself included. I have vauge memories of DC trying to race with the Saltire instead of the Union Flag but was refused. |

I do agree with what you say. I hate nationalism but I don't have a problem of people being proud of where they come from, I knew an English family living here temporarily in Uruguay who when we celebrated international day at the school I was working at insisted on representing Scotland because that is where they were living before their temporary relocate, and yet they were the most atypically english family, accents and all you could ever meet anywhere. |

You have been gone too long, the next flaming village in Derbyshire is treated like its occupied by a race of alien invaders and that village thinks likewise of the other.

Are you attempting to imply that there's no such thing as an Englishman, a Scotsman or a Welshman? Also, if a Northern Irishman is British, how do you explain the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland? By your pedantry are we in fact not British but Britain and Northern Irish? I am English. I think ElusiveJim is a Scot. Our 'Stig' on the board is Welsh. However, all of us are also British. I am an Englishman first, and a Briton second. A Scotsman will never, EVER admit to being a Briton unless Andy Murray is winning at tennis in a tourmanent where he is entered as a Briton rather than a Scot, in which case he and they are briefly Britons too. When he loses are acts like a tit, he's definitely a Scot....
