How many can you name? They asked the drivers!

[HighwayToHull]

Most of them knew more than I thought they would:

I can name every single one, maybe not in order, and certainly missing the last 15 or so years when F1 to me lost its way a bit. But from the first to last I can name them without looking,

MotoGP maybe aswell and WRC.

One I only get about 90% with is GP winners, I always miss a few out, but in fairness there are loads of INdy guys form the 50s in the ranks

[Flooble]

Max comes out of that quite well I think. Even joked about Nico's nickname - sense of humour.

Vettel was pretty amazing, clearly has a deep love of the sport.

Kimi getting his own WDC year wrong!

[DeejRC]

I can name them all, can do it in order up until Schu/Hak yrs - because I stopped watching so much then, due to it being utterly boring. Then can do it in order again from Fred onwards.

I mean, who *cant* name them in order from Farina onwards till Schu, if you consider yourself a fan?

??? Just say Hakkinen then Schumacher in that order then you know them all. Unless you mean from
Schumacher in 94 till Schumacher again in 2004.

[DeejRC]

I couldn’t tell you when Hak won his in the Schu yrs. Nor do I particularly care about those yrs.

[CoolHands]

God that was boring, and I skipped most of it

[Craigyp79]

That was really good, Vettel really is a F1 geek!

I think he meant he can name from 1950 to 1994, given that he mentioned Farina.

George and Max did really well for being so young.

Vettel loves records, knows all the stats so I'm not surprised he knew them all

On purpose so he didn't have to take part anymore

I got to 1990 then my mind went blank.

A lot of vodka went down ever since…

I thought it was fun but badly produced, 15mins? Really?

Anyway, fair play to DannyRic, Jack and SuperMax, awesome how Fingers smashed it.

Also really good to see F1 keep churning out content like this, just knock it down to 7mins!

I just realised that list does highlight how in the last 20 years we have had three long periods of dominance, whereas before that there was a huge amount of variety.

2000-2004: Schumacher
2010-2013: Vettel
2014-2020 (with a solitary interruption by his teammate): Hamilton

And even more pointedly in the last decade there have only been the two winning teams or three winning drivers.

Ho hum.

Dominance usually manufacture/engine/PU led, to expand the above from 60’s to present;


Ford
Honda
Renault
Ferrari
RedBull
Mercedes

However, historically there is only one other period where a manufacturer won four on the trot (McLaren-Honda, late 80s) and they swapped between Prost and Senna while doing it. Although if you were not a fan of Williams of McLaren I can imagine the early 80s to early 90s were a pretty miserable period at least you got to see Piquet, Prost, Senna, Mansell and Lauda sharing the honours.

Well I’m pretty sure my father would consider himself a fan but couldn’t name them….

… but he could tell you some good stories about watching Stewart, Andretti, Peterson and Villeneuve in period….

I hate the notion that “fan status” in any sport is earned by simply learning and regurgitating facts

[DanielSan]

Did chuckle at Mick Schumacher going through the early 00's just by saying 'my dad' over and over again. Vettel is real nerd!

[The Moose]

I did think Max’s “Britney” comment was amusing.
