[@DimitriMoreira]

@@XenophonSoulis well, if details like that mattered, Schumacher got beaten by a crippled 39 year old Piquet. And Piquet also managed to win in that car, whilst Schumacher's best finish was 4th if I'm not mistaken. So.... Those kinds of details certainly doesn't matter. Nico beat Schumacher back to back, all 3 years. Nico beat Hamilton 1 time in 4 years and Button beat Hamilton 1 time in 3 years while the same Button beat Alonso 1 time in 2 years. So yeah, Nico was blazing fast, Hamilton was faster. Button was not as fast but was consistent. Hamilton wasn't, but he's now. And Schumacher could very well beat Rosberg if he was younger, but we'll never know. Just like we'll never know how badly Schumacher would be beaten by a young, aggressive and fearless Piquet. I guess to a pulp. Same thing if we think about Prost, or even worse, Senna.

[@XenophonSoulis]

@@DimitriMoreira Well, that isn true but forced. In the 5 races they were together, Schumacher got 4 points, while Piquet got 4.5 and of the three occasions they both finished Schumacher finished higher than Piquet in 2. That was after an engine failure cost Schumacher another points finish which would have put him in front of Piquet. Also, the win of Piquet came in a race where 6 out of the 7 people in front of him retired and the other one had gearbox issues (that includes all 5 drivers that finished higher than Piquet in the season). It was just as lucky as Gasly's victory last year. Apart from that, we must mention that Rosberg had already 4 years of experience before going against Schumacher, while Schumacher had 1 race of experience before going against Piquet. Also, not every driver is in the same form in the same years. For example, Vettel got his championships much younger than Hamilton on average, but he looks a bit out of shape today. Apart from that, 5 races (the time Schumacher and Piquet were in the same team) is a joke of sample. Anything can happen in 5 races, especially in the current era (I include 1991 in that, as opposed to smaller seasons in the 50s-60s), where 5 races aren't even a third of a season. Finally, if we start comparing who would have beaten whom with drivers of different eras or in hypothetical scenarios, we will just lose our time. We can just compare drivers in the same team and in their current age (until AI gets so advanced that it can mimic exactly the driving style of a driver that is).

[@hoverbike]

Magnussen is a peculiar guy. In some Danish interviews, which I have the privilege of understanding, being a Dane, he expressed some feelings about F1: Veteran F1 drivers have a biased view of racing 'justice', believing that younger drivers have a duty to leave them a gap for overtaking, to behave almost as if they are blue flagged and must give the position, while at the same time, believe that they have the right to close windows that have people inside them, that defending dangerously is okay for them to do. This deeply frustrates him, because he has no intention of giving positions. He will fight to the very edge, and use every dirty trick that he has ever seen, because this is the only way to win. You have to be okay with potentially crashing and dying in your car to be competitive. This was during his time was Haas. Perhaps it's also a bit of a comment on their car.

7:00 That accident is Sickening, crazy he raced!

[@alexbentley4087]

I'm so glad I met Johnny Herbert. the guy is friendly on the exterior, but much like Ricciardo, is hella tough on the inside. And he won le mans like 3 times? And the guy has been in my kitchen, bought a mini cooper classic off my dad. Insane.

Raikkonen's 6th on debut with Sauber?? Especially given the scepticism of whether he was worthy, I thought he'd make the list.

[@writz2]

Nico is one of the few great racers who is also a child of a great racer.

[@clashgoneofficial]

Like Damon and Jacques

[@HepauDK]

@@clashgoneofficial And Kevin Magnussen. I would call Jan Magnussen a great racer as well...

[@Sp4mMe]

Given how few F1 drivers there are I really wouldn't call him "one of the few"; in absolute terms, sure. But in relative terms you are infinitely more likely to be able to make a racing career if you have relatives (usually the father) that were in racing, too. Just look at others like Alesi, Schumacher, Fittipaldi, the Andrettis, the Stucks, and so on and so on.

[@raymondo43]

Kevin Magnussen is extremely underrated. People hat on him too much but he's just a tough racer, that's it.

Reine Wisell was third in his debut for Lotus 1971. At the time the best debut ever.

[@HerrZikaPavlovic]

Baghetti won on his debut at 1961 French GP

[@clashgoneofficial]

Baghetti : am I a yoke to you?

[@Alexdaroz]

Felipe Nasr , Austrália, 2015... He finished in 5th on a Sauber

[@francescaroat2076]

In my opinion,Johnny Herbert is truly a legendary heroe! Amazing what he has been able to do!

[@alessiorossato5839]

Raikkonen, Winckelock (i don't now how wrigt it), Baghetti and Farina should be in this top.

[@Uno.Numero]

Kimi's Debut was better than the most featured on this list, having the least experience in single seater racing he was spectacular and finished in the points.

Can we see Singapore 2019 full race as it gonna be Vettel’s last win ❤️

[@lukum55]

How do you know that? Have you seen a preview of the 2020 season?

[@raulrashdan8231]

To see that F3 crash at Brands Hatch is really horrifying especially when they're going high-speed down the hill. But for Herbert to pull off in that race whilst in excruciating pain is just unbelievable. Well done Herbert 👏.

[@shanem3537]

3:47 that’s like saying Gio was leading in Singapore

Great video

[@pablogarcia636]

What about Pedro De La Rosa in Austrailia 1999 finishing 6th with Arrows

[@gedhoughton9523]

Could you try late starters? Like Mark Webber starting f1 at 26, as many f1 drivers now start younger

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

If only Johnny had never had that accident, I am sure he'd have become a world champion. He certainly had the skills. That accident, even knowing the result of it, never fails to shock me.

[@bluescanty]

Shocking how raikonnen seems to me omitted from these videos while the British drivers get pole position
