F1 Thought.... Legends in the making v Damn decent drivers

We live in a lucky age where it seems that we have legends in the making coming out of our ears.

Schumi is undoubtably a legend, then that up and coming Alonso beat him to become a legend ender. Next year after that Super Rookie Hamilton came along to be the next Senna, quickly followed by that rather spectacular Mini-Schumi Vettel!

So last year we had no less then 4 legends on the grid!

Not to mention Robert Kubica looked certain to reach the cloudy heights of "Silent but deadly Legend" (I'll copyright that one I guess) of Kimi Raikkonen. And we have Raikkonen back now from rally.

So in the last couple years we've had another 2 as well on top of the 4.

Wow how lucky are we?

But who really is a legend and who is just a damned good driver? And when it all comes down to it lets face it, who really decides who a legend is? What is so special about some of these drivers, and when we look back at legends what period actually has a LOT of legends like we seem to have now?

And what the hell is wrong with just being a damned brilliant driver? (Stand up and take a bow Nico Rosberg, Giancarlo Fisichella, Nick Heidfeld and the rest of you!)

F1 : Spanish GP 2013

Grand Prix of Spain 2013

Winner : Fernando Alonso

Second : Kimi Raikkonen

Third : Felipe Massa

After a surprisingly good race last time out in Bahrain can my Spanish favorite win his home GP? Especially seeing that he hasn't been getting the best luck this series even though he is fighting his heart out!

With a Mercedes 1-2 in qualifying the race was on!

Felipe Massa's Form

So Felipe Massa can be quite a sore subject for people. He is a lovely man, a good sportsman, a kind soul and someone people like to support. But even people who support him because of this question whether he's really as good as his die hard fans believe.

So my feelings on Felipe?
