Fangio did it in shirt sleeves.

well schueys the best in my view
and i'm not old enough to remember fangio, unlike some of you but my nan said he was good

JoelP - 20/6/04 at 09:44 AM

i voted fangio cos it took bigger balls back in those days. he still holds some records that schuey hasnt taken, doesnt he?

Where's Gilles Villeneuve, Ronnie Peterson, Emerson Fittipaldi, Mike Hawthorn, Hunt the shunt, Graham Hill ?
Annnnndddd

Keke Rosberg FFS !!??

I voted Tommi out of protest - seeing as he was the only non GP driver and he is scandinavian just like Keke.

Anndd - just noted - no Niki Lauda either !?

I'm just being grumpy - late nights do that to me

Before JM Fangio there was -

Tazio Nuvolari !!! Having seen some of the machinery he drove, am convinced he was the greatest, beyond doubt.

Any chance of making the avatar a tiny bit smaller dick!!!

Edit: Sorry looks like the forum has been messing up the avatar. Dicks avatar was a full size picture that took up the whole screen a minute ago! Now he hasnt got one!

I voted for Jim Clark - from what I have seen he was an imensely talented natural driver who could win in any type of car - wish that still happened so we could see how good the current drivers really are.

Stirling is my Hero as well!

He was a good all round champ driver as well as just GP!
Made the Mini famous world wide!

Terry


ps he also drove one of the cars in my avatar, but a real one!

Surtees would get my vote too, world champ on 2 wheels and 4...
They say never to be repeated, but it seems young Rossi is quite quick in a car!

anyway I have to vote Mansell cos that was the last time I watched F1 when he and Senna were battling it out. Also he moved to Indycar and won in his first season.

John
