Less inspiring? Damon Hill? He's a bloody champion for goodness sake, and might have been a double one had he not been the victim of a certain German's road rage!
Best car in 94, 95 and 96 yet only managed to get the championship in 96 when the only real ompetition was his team mate who was often faster.
With regard to '96 it's the points that matter at the end of the day! He's a champion and you can't argue with that.
Yeah, thank goodness for team orders. Villeneuve would have beat by a long way otherwise!

Lol good one, anyone would think you were trolling making a claim as ridiculous as that. Hill won by 19 points, a massive margin.

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

Shame the Hills are on the same line, one I class as one of the best the other one of the worst.

Moss was better than his results look.

Tom Pryce should be number 1
