for me that are Michael Schumacher, Hakkinen, Juan Pablo Montoya, De La Rosa, Sato, Frentzen
the two former in this, are obvious i guess
but
Montoya: well he so deserved to be world champion and that's that!
De La Rosa: great driver, stunning personality he has
Sato: the GOAT japanese driver, that's that
Frentzen: well very talented, and shame he no longer is active in the sport in some role, but having a regular job nowadays, he is a nice guy
You can't beat the Senna, Prost and Mansell era, late eighties, early nineties.
How have you not got Nigel Mansell on that poll, when you have lesser British drivers on it?

Nigel is apparently my second cousin or something daft like that .. certainly related but not closely

i have other in the poll
true Prost is an icon too, from driver to team owner :D
but ''lesser british drivers'' i mean Coulthard deffo was an ace in his time, quite a dream team with Hakkinen as well at McLaren (better than Norris/Piastri now in my opinion, whom both got enormous ego's which i can see backfire on them at some point tbh)
same with Eddie Irvine, an ideal teammate for Michael Schumacher, and who did himself quite decent-ish as the number 1 driver at Jaguar (with a lesser car)
to succeed in F1 you need Talent, AND a good car, a combination of both, like for example put Max Verstappen in a aston martin, and he won't win anything anymore
i think someone who i wanna mention in ''other'' is Giancarlo Fisichella (who was a great teammate to Fernando Alonso, still speaks praise of Alonso nowadays btw and rooting for him to be on a podium again somehow)
Alexander Wurz honorable mention, a fast paced driver in a lesser car, who had a couple of fastest laps despite the car he was in, not being contender material :laugh:
but tbh they speak about the ''pay drivers'' of today being bad, well many years ago you had the likes of Zsolt Baumgartner, Gianmaria Bruni, Yuji Ide and those were even worse :joker:
Gaston Mazzacane is someone on a whole different level tbh, King of Last Places whom overtook Hakkinen to unlap himself in the most iconic way in what was it, Brazil :think:
I only have two favourites
Nigel Mansell. ( obviously)
Max Verstappen who’s driving style reminds
me of Nigel
