It was my first live F1 race. A couple of us rode bikes up from Pforzheim to see the race. It was Ayrton Senna's rookie season. We had no idea who he was. We also made it to La Mans that year and got to see the 956's sweep the field.
I'm impressed with Vettle, but he is no Senna or Schumacher. I base that on the fact that he just doesn't dominate in the wet like the really great ones do. Alonso is probably the best driver right now...

Aren't we all...
I think Alonso is among the best on the track at the moment, along with Hamilton, Hulkenburg and (when they're on form) Perez and Massa.
