I cried when I heard, and I never cry.

I often wonder what Stefan Bellof would’ve achieved.

Without ranking : Stirling Moss, Jacky Ickx, Dan Gurney, Carlos Reutemann and Francois Cevert.

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...

Has to be Sir Sterling Moss. Most race wins of anyone not to win a WC.

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.

Stirling Moss without doubt look as his race record.

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.

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.

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.

Alboreto, as Enzo Ferrari himself said, "we owe that kid a championship!"

EJ looks absolutely fantastic for his age. Very very sharp as always. Great podcast guys absolutely love what you're doing!

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

Could you guys invite Claire Williams to your podcast? I'm sure she has great stories to tell

Tommy Reid, Irish racing cars, Brabham formula Atlantic, Ingliston 1974. Cheers Eddie. Great days.

DC thanks for having F1 on free to Air To TV for the time we did.🇮🇪💚🏁

Sterling Moss

authentic conversation makes the show compelling - great

Thanks, brings back so many memories. Ive been watching since the mid 60's. You both bring so much to the sport. Thanks

Stirling Moss and Ronnie Peterson stands out. I mean they were absolute top notch, top drawer. All the others discussed here were great of course, but not really self evident World Champions in the same way.

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

Carlos Reutemann and Ronnie Peterson. Probably Jacky Ickx as well.

First of all: Riccardo Patrese! Michele Alboreto, Jacky Ickx, Robert Kubica, JPM.

Bruce McLaren would have won a World Championship 🏆

Recommendation. Place times when each question is being asked/answered. That way - if short of time - we can scan for the questions that interest us the most. Great show. ☮

​@@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.

I was a guest of Tom Barnard at BRDC Silverstone for 3 yrs in the late 90"s. I even got to walk around Jordan F1 factory. Those were the days my friend. Now I'm a paying punter and the contrast is beyond description. Still, I'm going to Budapest for the race this year. Great value track

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

Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺, love your work and the gee-ups!!! My answer: Elio de Angelis. Go Oscar Piastri 🏆

Sir Sterling Moss / Villeneuve

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. It would be nice to see some memorabilia in the background, I imagine between the two of you , youhave a couple of trophies. Keep up the good work 👍

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.

Gilles Villeneuve would be my answer.

Quality stuff gentlemen.

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.

That’s great.. “A German joke is no laughing matter”. 👍🏻🍻 Greetings from Hamburg.

So many points and memories I relate to. I don’t really do fandom but these two guys Irespect enormously. As for travelling with just hand luggage, this is the guy who this summer and last summer spent five weeks travelling in Europe Solo on a motorbike, so I obviously agree. All I need is a decent mattress, shower, camera and a computer, and because I’m on a motorbike lots of fresh underwear to deal with those many moments I have.

Watching this, I can't stop thinking about the contrast in the width of both heads! I mean, they couldn't be more opposite; at times it feels as if it is a cartoon animation.

Guys, as a Spotify listener I want to say you overdid it with the ads. We pay to listen ad-free and that's not okay.

The Bay City Rollers made the best Scotch music since the first bagpipe-blowing. Max Verstappen was the best driver since Schumacher (who was the best ever), even though he had not won a Championship by the time Formula One disappeared.
