While discussing with some friends, we came to the topic of trying to make our own list of how we feel F1 champions rank,
Would like to have some feedback input from others, especially about some of the older drivers (like pre-80's) where a lot we know is just based on stories we read about them and just race results. So we found it hard to rank them. In hour opinion older era drivers rank slightly higher on average due to the fact that it was more dangerous. And for various drivers we would base our ranking on results outside their championship year to see if he was just a year where everything clicked or that there was more.
Please do NOT reply with:
- Your own complete list, as this would make a topic unreadable
- Complaints that your favorite driver is ranked too low, These drivers are some of the great drivers in the history of F1, being on the list should be sufficiént.
Somebody has to be at the top and somebody needs to be at the bottom.
Do reply if you feel a driver is ranked too high and low and you can provide proper arguments where he should be compared to other drivers.
We can edit and alter the list till we find a list that we think is awesome.
And then we can argue where Rosberg (Nico) belongs on the list.
