Who out of this list is the best balance between abilty and unerated/least luck driver? In other words out of the given list who is your favourite?

Nick is simply more than quick, he is great.

I voted for Alesi but would have voted for Montoya if he'd been on the list

Frentzen...but Jos the boss was a close second.

I voted for Berger, other drivers I'd consider for the list would be Riccardo Patrese, Johnny Herbert, Thierry Boutsen, Karl Wendlinger and Derek Warwick.

Alesi/DC. Went for DC in the end.

I have nothing more to say on the matter (for the time being)

I voted frentzen personally. Alesi and Jos were also very entertaining but frentzen drove the wheels of a Jordan and was a fiery character!

Nick is simply more than quick, he is great.

As far as I know trulli and coultard are still racing so why include them in a poll for past racers??????

Alesi could have been world champion. He was always in the right car at the wrong time. Had he gone to Williams he might have won a title, but we all know he went elsewhere.....

Do not underestimate the power of the darkside - may the poll be with you!

you have three drivers in your list that are not 'of the past'.

Panis pre 97 was amazing. Then he crashed in Canada

and got really bad.

Jos Verstappen never got a proper go.

Yes I agree Panis was starting to show some skill and speed until he crashed out in Canada, then he was never the same.
