Motorsport.com Most Popular Driver

[pettersolberg29]

Just goes to show how short the memory (and knowledge) of most F1 'fans' is.

I shouldn't rise to the bait, but just to let you know I've only followed F1 for about 10 years due to age restriction i.e. only 17. I'm sure a few others who have only put recent drivers in their list are equally young.

And also, as Saint Devote said, the list is of our favourite, not who we think is the most popular among F1 fans in general...

So what is the conclusion? That Brits have the majority in this forum - their drivers are 2nd, 3rd and 5th. : Surprising that DC and Irvine are ahead of Hill though - I suppose in "reality" it should be the other way around.
