Re: The AOL Top 10 Racing Drivers Ever.



I'd love to know their reasoning for that list!

Firstly, why is Lewis Hamilton so high, ok, he's had a good entry into F1, but that doesn't make him automatically the third top driver. Also were are some of the greats such as Fangio, Senna, or Michael Schumacher!

Garbage. The list might as well have been:
1. Bubba - some hick from NASCAR
2. Billy Bob - a second hick from NASCAR
3. Dale - another NASCAR
4. Ernie - what the hell? NASCAR rules
5. Willy Joe - NASCAR rocks!

9) The most undeserving F1 champ ever - I think his name is Keke something
10) Some arse with five-races experience who started his F1 career with a top team

Re: The AOL Top 10 Racing Drivers Ever.

Leave the american's to vote... Most people in the US don't know anything about racing besides stupid NASCAR...to let them vote on a poll of best driver ever? I'm surprised to see that NASCAR lovers didn't vote for richard petty...LOL

How the F did Lewis and Fernando get on the list? Given, Fernando has 2 championships but his career is far from over. Who knows, he could tank like mofo next year, then what?

Retard ass people vote for a retarded ass pole...simple.

Well at least Jim Clark is there.

But what about pre WWII greats like Nuvolari, Rosemeyer and Caracciola ?!

Not to mention as they are americans, the voters, Phil Hill and M. Andretti, winners of the F1 WDC and Le Mans, Nurburgring, Sebring, Daytona, Indianapolis, etc.

Come on.

Just as pointless.
