Sir Stirling Moss (rip) for me. The man could drive & win in damn near anything, F1, Sportscars, Rally,Touring Cars, etc. AFAIK, he's also the only driver to ever talk his way OUT of winning the championship, when he stood up for Mike Hawthorn at the 1958 Portugese GP. His doing so led to Hawthorn's 2nd place (& 6 points) staying, only for Stirling to lose the championship by 1 point. I had the chance to ask him about this years later, and he said he had no regrets, as it was the right thing to do at the time...
Ronnie couldn't develop a car, which frustrated every team boss he had. Everybody loved Ronnie and he was very quick, but lacked the killer instinct and made some odd choices in his career.
Ronnie Peterson was the best driver to never win a championship. He finished runner up twice. Once in a March using the same engine all season! The other, as a number 2. In hindsight, he would have won the title if he didn't die that year. He was without any doubt, the out and out quickest driver, ever to sit in an F1 car. On his day, he was quicker than anyone. That includes the likes of Senna. Just ask anyone who was there. Even the other drivers were left stunned by his car control. Niki Lauda couldn't get within half a second per lap of him when they were teammates. Fittipaldi too, couldn't match him. Villeneuve was just a pale imitation of him. After causing the death of several spectators, showing off in front of Peterson, the most liked and respected driver amongst his peers, probably of all time never spoke to Villeneuve again.
Gilles was fast, but he was also an unreliable idiot. Do you remember that race at Monza where he puncture a tire, and instead of going back to the pits slowly he drove as fast as he could? Well... Driving that fast was the reason that flat tire destroyed the suspensión of that car. Montoya is ok, Ronnie probable, bellof and moss for sure, cevert i don't know alboreto definetly not.
Personally the ones that come most to mind are of course Stirling Moss, then Peterson, Villeneuve and Reutemann. They would all have deserved at least a championship.
Just so brilliant now FFS has gone to UA-cam , can't miss it when solely a podcast not as enjoyable just listening. Chemistry or should that be love between DC and Eddie is clear to see !!!
I can’t believe how when DC & EJ were part of the F1 commentary team for BBC & then C4, how there seemed to be no end of friction between them, & dislike for each other, & now they are the best of pals & creating such entertaining podcasts & UA-cam videos, with such amazing chemistry between them 🤣!
Me too. But when Jacques won in 97 in such fashion over Schumacher. Took my breathe away and a tear to my eye. One of the greatest moments in F1 history.
Those citing Gilles Villeneuve should look at some results. He was runner up in one season. Stirling Moss was runner up four times in a row and then 3rd place three times.
@@DanielDorn-tr7tw Stefan Bellof was the quickest driver in the famous Monaco race won by Alain Prost. Everybody talks about Senna being faster than Prost but Bellof was even faster.
@@AugCorreia I am a huge fan of Ayrton, AND YOU ARE RIGHT! Stefan smoked everybody in this race. Including Ayrton! I am from Germany. My take on Stefan Bellof: He would have taken at least one title, given the right car. My take on Ayrton Senna: He probably would have prevented Michael from getting the Ferrari seat. Why? Because he probably would have won 1994 and 1995, if not retiring maybe 96 and 97 as well. The Williams was very strong after Ayrtons death, even to the end of 1994. Hill was nowhere near Sennas level and I highly doubt Jaques would have been, too... Both dont die and have a lengthy career: I cant even imagine without shedding a little tear... I bet some would never have won a single title: - Damon Hill - Jaques Villeneuve - Michael Schumacher (he maybe would have beaten them once or twice) - Mika Hakkinen And maybe the GOAT discussion would be between Stefan Bellof and Ayrton Senna... Who knows... Jacky Ickx and the Williams FW16 robbed us of a lot of action and numberous rivaleries, we never got. And that is very sad! (Yes I am blaming you Jacky Ickx!!!)
Ronnie Peterson. In 1973 he was head and shoulders faster than Emerson. Even with inferior equipment during 1974-1976 he won races. If he would have been more lucky during 1973 he would have walked it. Even in 1978 he was trailing Mario by 12 points when he died. They actually made an agreement between them that they would race each other from US GP at Watkins Glen and on. Such a sad story that ended at that sloppy Niguardia hospital in Milano.
massa didnt deserve the 2008 title, and webber was clearly the second best red bull driver every year that vettel was in the other car. both good but not great
@@tomcharlton586 in 2010 Webber crashed out in a very wet South Korea race while warming his tyres behind the safety car on lap 18. He touched the curb while swerving and that was the end of that. He was 2nd at the time behind Vettel and as it turns out Vettel blew on engine on lap 45 in the race. Had Webber just kept the car on the track behind the safety car he would surely won that race and those 25 points would have had him winning the world championship by 11 points with Vettel 2nd (as per the results at the season finale in Abu Dhabi). When I was watching Korea I said to a mate that Webber just lost the world championship right there. I am sure he was gutted by a silly mistake that should not have happened and cost hime the championship.
@@Outback_Truckie 2010 was a close as fuck season i agree, but even in the year that webber was closest to vettel, seb was still slightly better, even though he also nearly threw it away with mistakes like spa and turkey. he was more often than not faster than mark.

Talking about Stirling Moss, years ago I was at Goodwood FoS admiring a row of beautiful 250GTO's and realised Moss was standing next to me. We chatted like two chums at a bar and he was absolutely charming. He went on to drive one of the Ferrari's.
There's so many that should have been world champions kubica should of DC Webber etc great podcast DC EJ love the banter love the different subjects you talk about 👍
Dan Gurney or Marc Surer. Gurney didn't compete for long enough and Marc Surer never was put in a good enough car but they certainly could have won a few titles. Surer by the way is a brilliant commentator, never one to stray too far from modesty and level-mindedness
Stirling moss. The man was runner up 4 times and the main thing that held him back was his bouncing back and forth between teams and misplaced loyalty in driving for british teams when he could have been driving in better cars that were not British
Martin Brundle would be a good example. Jordan F1 pulled well above its budget in F1. There was a picture of Michel Lopez DeCarlos and his EJ-run Formula Ford in today's Heroes of FF1600 and the boss man himself, make sure you feature the haircut in the next episode.
The greatest F1 driver NEVER to win a WC ? If there was a poll of 100 people asked the question i would be surprised if 90% didn't choose Sir Stirling Moss. He would've had at least one WC if he wasn't a complete gentleman. R.I.P Sir Stirling 🙏
lol what??? 2 of Rubens team mates are world champions....he was literally in the fastest car in about 5 seasons....if you cant beat your team mate, you do not deserve to be world champion
DC deserved WC more than, let us say, Kimi (who inherited one from the Alonso-Hammy fight by a single point). But McLaren screwed it up for him. I'll never forget him punching the wheel after the car switched off on the grid (yet again...🙄🙄) at Monaco.....his great chance of a 3rd consecutive win after a frankly uncharacteristically brilliant qualifying performance. Also, naturally, Stirling Moss. On the opposite scale was Eddie "Swerving" Irvine, who nearly accidentally inherited a blooming WC 😆.
Ruben’s Barrichello, I would have loved to see home win a world championship such a nice bloke, and a good driver. Would also be nice to get him on FFS, Well done with the ratings.

I love listening to your old Motorsport stories and on today Motorsport podcasts I see EJ when I worked at Raynards and made DC Vauxhall lotus for Stewart racing and I was a marshal at Silverstone as well I used to love watching the cars. I'd worked on running around the track with great drivers in them and your stories bring it all back.and thank you for that I think a great drive like Rubens Barrichello
Sandro Nannini wasn't too shabby, either. However, many commenters here probably haven't heard of a Quebecoise named Gilles Villeneuve or watched his races (ex. Dijon, Jarama)
Can't wait for it to start. David Eddie please This is a place to comment even though what I'm commenting about uses different fuel. But I'm sure you will get the rant by the end of the rant 😂 Did you know top fuel dragsters use 280,120.34 litres approximately every 4 runs or 1 mile as I understand it. Just 1 car. So my point being why the jellyfish did you ramp down the engines so much you lost the beautiful sound of F1. One of the absolute spectacles of F1 was the unique sound the sport carried. The V8 just clung on to that sound. I always have to UA-cam old footage to satisfy my ears. I am a sound junky I have been all my life. I beg beg beg beg beg beg beg please go back to V8's at least. Are 20/22 cars really going to make that much of an impact on the environment. No I really don't think so. Most of the environmental stuff is a farce anyway. Please don't misunderstand me. I all for keeping the planet green. But the trees the build up of clouds are all the natural filters of Mother Nature. She'll protect us and we are doing an awful lot already to help. Yes i understand F1 must show they're doing their bit. But it's all in vain if you ask me. China are chucking more into the sky. Who else. I don't know. Dragsters as mentioned. There's other V8 championships around the world. Boat racing. Listen to the beautiful sounds they chuck out. Yet our beloved F1 sounds like a wet fart. I'm sure I'm not on my own with this. 22 cars on 24 weekend really going to kill the environment. No I don't think so. Pleeeeeaaaassssseeeeee V8 at least.
Notes for presenters: -Never use the word "tank slapper" with reference to cars. It's just wrong. -And, you might need another "two pay" if you plan to wear headphones regularly. -Oh and, the posters behind DC's head are a little sad. Is it to remind DC that he used to be famous, or to help Eddie remember who he's speaking to?
Great to hear you guys with your amazing experience in F1 and listening here in NZ helps remind us of NZ;s acheivements in the sport with Bruce, Denny and of course another unlucky Mr Amon among others, heres hoping Liam gets his chance! keep up the great show guys
I listen with my 14-year-old son, he feels that they speak very well, having been in F1, I spoke to him about Jordan as a boy as an example of how a small squad could against great teams and David as one who lacked that luck to be champion

So my point being why the jellyfish did you ramp down the engines so much you lost the beautiful sound of F1. One of the absolute spectacles of F1 was the unique sound the sport carried. The V8 just clung on to that sound. I always have to UA-cam old footage to satisfy my ears. I am a sound junky I have been all my life. I beg beg beg beg beg beg beg please go back to V8's at least. Are 20/22 cars really going to make that much of an impact on the environment. No I really don't think so. Most of the environmental stuff is a farce anyway. Please don't misunderstand me. I all for keeping the planet green. But the trees the build up of clouds are all the natural filters of Mother Nature. She'll protect us and we are doing an awful lot already to help. Yes i understand F1 must show they're doing their bit. But it's all in vain if you ask me.
China are chucking more into the sky. Who else. I don't know. Dragsters as mentioned. There's other V8 championships around the world. Boat racing. Listen to the beautiful sounds they chuck out. Yet our beloved F1 sounds like a wet fart. I'm sure I'm not on my own with this.
22 cars on 24 weekend really going to kill the environment. No I don't think so.
Pleeeeeaaaassssseeeeee V8 at least.
Chris Amon.
How good was Dave ( The story teller) Allen great memories watching him Friday night eating fish and chips 😂😀
Frentzen, Montoya, Kubica, Trulli, Massa and Barrichello for me.
Trillions, truly? You’re joking, right?
@@hishers251 I didn't say trillions but if you meant Trulli look at his record vs team mates
Notes for presenters:
-Never use the word "tank slapper" with reference to cars. It's just wrong.
-And, you might need another "two pay" if you plan to wear headphones regularly.
-Oh and, the posters behind DC's head are a little sad. Is it to remind DC that he used to be famous, or to help Eddie remember who he's speaking to?
Francois Cevert. Watkins Glen's poorly fitted armco robbed us of a future champion.
Great to hear you guys with your amazing experience in F1 and listening here in NZ helps remind us of NZ;s acheivements in the sport with Bruce, Denny and of course another unlucky Mr Amon among others, heres hoping Liam gets his chance! keep up the great show guys
Can I asked another question.. Who do you believe has the potential to be a F1 World Champion not racing in F1 example Kalle Rovanperä?
I listen with my 14-year-old son, he feels that they speak very well, having been in F1, I spoke to him about Jordan as a boy as an example of how a small squad could against great teams and David as one who lacked that luck to be champion
Best driver or F1 driver ? Of only driver then it is Sebastian Loeb ;)
DC thanks for having F1 on free to Air To TV for the time we did.🇮🇪💚🏁
"George's Grandson is Florence." Thanks Eddie. Love you guys!
1956 Peter Collins gave his car to Fangio when his broke down so he could win the race and title. Unfortunately Peter never got another chance. A class act,
David Couldhave, and know this:
In a universe with 8 billion me's and one DC, I would not become WDC ever.
