F1 Fanatic

Dario Franchitti or Helio “Spiderman” Castroneves.

I think that Tom Kristainsen is a good shout too.

There can be no doubt about that McRae and Loeb are good racers, BUT they are rally drivers. We have seen how difficult it is to go from Formula 1 to Rally with Kimi Raikkonen. If I had to name one driver that could win the WDC this season and does not have a Formula 1 seat I would go for Tom Kristensen. He is simply not to be overlooked. I mean 7 wins at Le Mans he could have epic fights with Schumacher!

Could be alot of people. Maybe even you or your Dad! :O

But for race car driver’s not in F1.. hmm it’s hard to choose. I’ll go with Rossi.

What was Alonso smoking when he said Pantano was invincible? Racers like Kobayashi and Grosjean have proven that F1 is a whole different ball game in comparison to GP2. When Pantano was in F1, he was truly awful. He was one of the worst drivers I have ever seen. Even drivers like Sakon Yamamoto have proven to be way better than Pantano. Pantano is gone and I hope that doesn’t change.

@jihelle, but could they be bothered if F1? probably not, same for dario too ,unfortunately

@sbl: I agree with Rutherford. Too much of a true blooded Texan to be remotely interested by Formula One. But Foyt, also a Texan, won at Le Mans and would have driven anything with wheels provided he could win.

You can’t really call Pantano awful when his teammate, Heidfeld, scored only 3 points. 1 of which was in a race that Pantano wasn’t allowed to contest.

The Jordan was a dog of a car and Pantano came into the sport early. Two factors that essentially ruined his career.

On topic though, I hadn’t thought of Kristensen, but he would also get my vote too. Never really got why Junqueira didn’t get a drive too
