There is one driver that is absolutely in the top three of my alltime favorites and he could make his car e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y w-i-d-e when neccessary. His name? Clay Regazzoni :-]
He holds the f1 lap record at the Nurburgring and it was superb when he won at that circuit and Monza in 1974 and 1975 respectively for Ferrari.
But the real uproar he caused was at Watkins Glen in 1975 while "protecting" leader Lauda [Ferrari] from second placed Fittipaldi [Mclaren].
Superb Regga :-]
The days of a screaming flat 12 Ferrari engine are sadly gone.Jense - Mclaren MP4-25 :DMonzaOne :D

Trulli sometimes doesn't defend very well to be honest. I think he's made it too easy for too many people over the years.
Heidfeld's a decent defensive driver. Would it be right to call M Schumacher one of the best?

Fernando Alonso at Imola 2005 was a great show of defensive driving.

Maybe not the best defensive driver, but a great defensive drive...Alonso defending a charging and super fast Schumacher at Imola comes to mind. Shuey tried everything to pass but Alonso managed to hold on for 15 odd laps. Imola is famous for being hard to pass on, but it was still great defensive driving from Alonso

I wouldn't class Trulli as a good defensive driver. He is just a better qualifier than racer so he ends up with a train behind him because it is too difficult to pass in F1. I don't think Flavio thought much of Trulli's defensive driving after the last lap of France 2004.Tazio 14/3/2015: I'll give every member on this forum 1,000.00 USD if McLaren fails to podium this season!
