agreed, that's why I'd like to find room for him ...... but like you I think in a straight fight over the course od a season he'd be beaten by the guys in my list. |

I must disagree here. I think there were some great drivers in Shumi's are, just their greatness was outshone. One of Michael Jordan's accolades was not just the titles he won, but the all-stars of the day he kept from winning titles (Ewing, Malone, Sir Charles). I think a similar method applies here. Shumi really only prevented a two drivers from winning titles, but he also IMO prevented Hill and Mikka from the greatnes tag. Stay with me here, everything else being equal WDC count had there been no Shumi in F1 Mikka and Hill both would be 3 times WDC, Rubens 2 times, DC 1, Kimi 2. Just my take on it. |
