Who you think is the best ever F1 driver?

[Y a k u Z a]

I've always thought that Damon Hill was a superb driver! Anyway it's really sad to see the video of Senna's crash which is available @ youTube.com

Damon Hill is very much like Jacques Villeneuve. Needs a good car to win. I'm not saying they're bad drivers, just that they're not exactly what you call great driver.

Senna, Prost, Michael are example of drivers who overdrive their car and is able to come out with something out of mediocre cars.

if i not mistaken at that time TUrbo charge only can have 1500 cc of engine capacity??but the team can squeeze 1500 ++BHP on qualifying run....and reduce to 1000bhp on real race....NA can have 3000cc of capacity...
i think for all the year i've been watching F1...MSC is the best...but counting in the history and past of F1 that i've been read..i think Niki has my attention..
Anyone know Can-Am racing??

too dangerous... drivers blacking out in mid-turns



machine tech is a must for F1 to continue developing... driver aids on the other hand is not really important...turbos were banned because the cars got too scary... imagine driving a drag racer on the track...hehehhe

but isnt that the idea of formula 1 being the cream of the crop of racing ?

there should be some balance between safety and speed... of course Formula 1 is among the top in track racing...but there should not be any reasons that 1 or 2 drivers get killed in every 3 or 4 races right... FIA and the drivers association does worry on their and the marshalls and spectators safety...

sooner or later F1 will run out of drivers...

taking calculated risk is what the drivers do... doing something that endangers themselves and others shouldn't be...

Can-Am racing is Canadian-American racing at around 1960-75 i think
at that time Can-Am is even more popular than F1..know Y??
Bcoz the Car R so high tech...engine horsepower,technologies,and aerodynamic and more important, very very good pay...
Niki smell this piece of gold and sambil racing F1, he went to Over pacific for Can-Am racing,no limit of Hp..and displacement...the car is extremely fast and uncontrollable...and driver life is put on the line...thats the legend of Can-Am

at that time even traction controll has been on Can-Am race car
no limit on displacement...u can have how many Hp u can squeeze...only one thing is strict in Can-Am was the wheel must be covered by body...not like F1

check on internet about can-am racing
