The Greatest F1 Driver

[ant192]

How about the Worst F1 Driver then? I always thought that Eddie Irvine was pretty Gash TBH. That year when MS broke his leg and it was eddie's turn to shine - bottled it. I'd rate Jacque Villeneuve as one of the worst champions i've seen.

Others: Ralph Firman, Takuma Sato, Pedro Diniz, Alan McNish...

You didn't see the pathetic attempts of the Hamster on Top gear trying to just drive the Renault F1 car then obviously. This is a guy who drives Porsches and Morgans for fun. I think he managed full throttle for 4/10ths of a second in the whole session he had.

Formula One drivers have awesome reflexes and driving skills, even those that are are the back of the grid.

Driving a Formula One car is beyond the abilities of 99% of the population so I'm not sure where you get this idea that they drive themselves..

I'm glad you said that, F1 Cars are not something you just jump in and drive, they are more temperamental than a legion of hormonal women !

Anyone who saw Hamilton's performance in the 'Reasonably priced car' on Top Gear where he recorded the 2nd fastest ever time IN THE WET will know that he is and will continue to be a very formidable driver.

Taki Inoue... he was so slow he got hit by the safety car... when his car was on the back of a truck!!! and he was ran over by the medical car in Hungary... he always binned the car so it serves him right!!
And also retired in 12 of his 17 races

Reminds me of one of the greatest newspaper headlines of all-time - from Wikipedia:

At the Argentine Grand Prix, his car burst into flames after a pit-stop due to its fuel valve sticking open; British newspaper The Sun famously printed the photo alongside the headline "Diniz in the Oven"
