Ok guys I recently did CTA's best debut and now I thought I'd try and find CTAs most under rated driver. This is the nominations thread before the actual poll so here you can state your nominations and argue your case for why your fellow forumites should vote for your candidate. I'm going to start you off.
James Hunt - You think of old James and you think of the booze and the women but in actual fact he was a talent and a half. Possibley the fastest British driver ever for raw pace but everyone seems to forget that. Hunt rarely appears in anyones top 10. Maybe he should?
Nelson Piquet - He's a 3 times world champion but hardly anyone has a good word to say about him. Its very true that as a hunan being Nelson senior its not the nicest a rep that has not improved by the actions of his son in F1. Its also true that in his later career he was in it for the money and his form was a bit patchy at best but which former champion hasn't had a spell like that? In his favour Nelson was an incredible driver on his day and if it wasn't for a certain Ayrton Senna blitzing him he may be celebrated as such.
Damon Hill - came in as what would be considered old age now days and was considered Prosts lackie and seemed to act as such. He was all set to be Senna's until that tragic day at Imola. He then of course became team leader and took the fight to thecdriver set to become one of the GOATs Michael Schumacher. He lost of course and despite the circumstances having the best car and not winning didn't reflect well on Damon. He eventually became champion but against Villeneurve who history has not treated kindly. But then came a fabulous day in an Arrows. Did we all have Damon wrong was he actually one of the best but the super Williams blinded us too it?
