I don't like it when this happens in TT threads - people ranting on about how X is better than Y when it is almost impossible to compare.
You can find bad things to say about any racing driver - even Michael Schumacher gets ripped to pieces by some and worshipped by others.
At the end of the day, a driver can rarely exceed the opportunities open to them given financing, support, contacts, management, etc..
Unless we have inside information from someone within an actual team I don't think any of us should be slagging off a driver unless they make obvious mistakes. All these guys work damn hard and have made lots of sacrifices to try to succeed - we should admire them and give them some respect.
The owners of Team GB will ultimately decide who gets to drive, I doubt Surtees does more than give his opinion to them. One thing is certain, not everyone will be happy with the choice.
