34theletterbetweenB&D Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Just imagine you could make up an F1 grid of your pick of F1 champions. I suggest post 1945, as I don't reallyknow the earlier contendors. I would arrange the grid positions for the demonstrator race by first date of F1 championship, and I am limiting it to a field of 18, but make your own arrangements for your choices. Juan Fangio Alberto Ascari Jack Brabham Graham Hill Jim Clark John Surtees Jackie Stewart Emerson Fittipaldi Niki Lauda Nelson Piquet Alain Prost Ayrton Senna Mika Hakkinenen Michael Schumacher Fernando Alonso Lewis Hamilton Sebastian Vettel Stirling Moss (wild card) The podium? I think Fangio is going to win, Senna second, Clark third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 How do you ignore Nigel Mansell? You might ask the same of Hill (D), Hill (P), Button, Denny, etc. And a few others who never had a seat in a good enough car to win a championship, or got killed or injured before getting to a championship. My criteria were a mix of how many championships, competitive longevity, reputation amongst competing drivers, and the depth of competition they faced. Yours may well be very different, and thereby what you propose not at all like mine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice idea. They have to race carrying the equipment they used. Easy winner, Colin Chapman, everything designed on the back of a fag packet as I understand it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
