i tend to go with that and maybe then some....a quick driver is a quick driver irregardless of what classification he races in, but there is something else and i cite 3 clear examples:
mansell
j.villeneuve
montoya

1 has won the indy 500, the CART and f1 championship...
all 3 have won the CART championship....
2 of the 3 have won both the f1 championship and the CART championship...
2 have won both the indy 500 and the CART championship....

the 'something else' that i refer to is, for lack of a better word, ruthlessnes and an all comsuming drive to succeed...of course it didn't hurt that all 3 drove (drive) for highly succesfull teams....
