Not everyone out there, has what it takes to become a champion.

| Exactly. 'Maybe' DC is one of them. But he is un-doubtedly a very good driver. |

''Maybe'' means absolutely nothing... DC is not championship material. Period.

He only finished second cos JPM dropped the ball at Indy and had an engine failure at Japan. I like Kimi but the fact is that he has only 1 win to his credit. Unless you win the title, people forget about championship positions over time. Its race wins that count |

And Kimi didn't have mechanical failures? |

Thats was the only failure. The only other retirements were Barcelona (fell out in qualy, hit Pizzonia at start) and Hockenheim (accident with Ralf).
So you can't blame Merc (for that year anyway!) |

| If FIA would have allowed the Great Juan or Kimi beat Schumi then either of them would be a more deserving champion of 2003. Instead we just got a title receiver in 1994, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. |

The only thing JPM deserves is slap for so many unforced errors and ruthlessly punting Rubens off in Indy and thinking he could get away with it! |

That is a Schumi lamb way of looking at it. The truth is that Brawn ordered lapdog to take the Great out of the race and FIA to punish him if lapdog was not successful.  |

Perry Mc Carthy
Brilliant driver especially in the wet, I used to watch him race in non F1 series but just never had the money or the equipment to make the progress through the ranks that his talent deserved
Never stood a chance at Andrea Moda and was unlucky to be overlooked for the Williams test drive that went to DC, with a bit of good fortune that could have been Perry partnering Damon in 1994 and 1995
Perry was a brilliant talent and he gets my vote for the unluckiest as he just never got the career breaks largely through lack of money |

Chris Amon gets my vote also.
But you have to feel sorry for John Love. He lost his big chance because his Cooper did not have a big enough fuel tank.
Also the driver whose name I can't remember how to spell who won the race where everybody remembers who came second and third.

| I assume you mean Jean-Pierre Jabouille who won the Dijon '79 race, a.k.a the best race ever, where Gilles and Arnoux were banging wheels all over. |
