The fact that Hill & Villeneuve never drove against great drivers in the same team is probably the reason many people don't held them in high regard.“Leave me alone!”

It was a dark chapter in the sporting ethics of F1
also lets not forget that Ferrari had prety much a tire company providing them exclusive tires, aprivate track for unlimited testing, the FIArrari cabal, and some highly speculative engineering opn the car.
Then there was schumi, who although is the greatest imo was alsoone of the dirtiest and coldest drivers out there. with a good number of reprehensible actions in his resume.you can't argue with results.

Created a new thread, because similarly to the Vettel discussion, it seems too juicy and interesting to people to just delete or stop the whole debate altogether.

I'm not condoning Benetton but motor racing and sport is about pushing the limits to the point of cheating and compromising safety, teams trying to stay ahead of the rule makers; every car is illegal, the officials aren't looking hard enough.
If you take the 2011 Belgian GP the teams were advised not to go beyond x amount of camber yet RBR still pushed the limits, poo poo-ed and cried.
The point is safety can be a strange concept in motor racing.

Yet McLaren were allowed to compete for the WDC after systematic cheating.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

1994 - Williams started off with an ill handling car. I have more contention for 1995. Hill was a donkey that year and should have won the WDC.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080
