Uk tops the list for most F1 champions

Quality my dear, not quantity :wink:


To have most champions would require the highest of quality. :wink:

It would require a higher percentage of drivers from a particular nation.


Not too sure, How many entrants have France or Italy had? For only France 1 title Italy 2 titles.

Italy has the third highest amount of entrants, Uk the highest ( I guess Uk just produces more top class racers :hehe: ) and unbelievably close behind UK is USA as the second highest :yikes: and that's because through the 50's the Indianapolis 500 was included in the championship.
Anyway here's a link for those of you who are ' number' orientated. scroll down to the second table and it lists the countries and the amount of entrants they've had

The more entrants from a nation, I would expect the higher the chances of a champion from that nation.

Yes. But the better the calibre of driver from that nation to have more entrants in the first place.

Precisely! I don't think "UK has the best drivers" either but saying any nation produces the best drivers is just immaturity and ignorance bundled into one.

As for football though...that's a different kettle of fish altogether. cough**brazil**cough**!! :hehe:

Germans FTW! And South America. Others are just pushing it, hoping that 1 will pop up with a good result. UK especially...

Ummmm, how many Germans on the grid last year? I suppose at least one of them had to pop up with a good result.

Germany has better drivers and that is a fact. Now, when it's easier for many nations to have drivers in F1 Germans rule. The proof they drive better. I would, however, like to see 1 or 2 more drivers from Brazil.

So when there's lots of Germans it's proof that they're good but when any other country, they're pushing it just trying to get a result.
