For me its Tom Pryce. He was a flat out, great driver. He was a driver for a mid-pack kind of team, Shadow F1. He supposedly had an offer from Lotus to come drive for them, but turned it down. Very loyal if you ask me. In 1975, at the race of champions at Brands Hatch, he beat the likes of James Hunt, Jody Schecktor, Niki Lauda, etc. Again, with inferior equipment. He was a very quiet guy, which compared to alot of the drivers of that era is pretty unique. Also, he was from Wales. I believe besides him the only other driver to come from wales was alan rees. But Tom was the better of the two for sure. I myself am an american, and by all counts should have picked mario andretti, but i think If Tom Pryce would have not been killed in 1977, he would have won a few championships at least. He was only 27 when he died in a freak accident at Kyalami, South Africa. RIP Tom Pryce!

Ronnie Peterson, no doubt, he flew like the wind and was very close to beat Andretti in 1978. Of course there is always Niki but he is a very special case.

I don't much know about Tom Pryce. But for me Giles was the ultimate driver.

Jody Shecktor in the 6 wheel Tyrell. Everybody wanted that model when I was a kid. Formula 1 was more inventive then because of looser regulations.

NOBODY CARES!!! F1 is gay just like you.
To all you saying stay out of the F1 forum look at the questions this jerk off has asked in the nascar forum and then maybe you will understand why I came over to talk trash with him. He has posted some stupid crap harassing us and I am calling him on it.
