If you said "Michael Schumacher", you are of course correct and recieve the pedants' award

Try again assuming we're discounting Schumacher if you want the point!

4 for me.

As an aside--if you can find a photo of Clark crossing the finish line at Watkins, you will see that his rear suspension has suffered a partial collapse (not due to contact, either). Yet his lead had been such that he could circulate at greatly reduced pace and still win. Such was the greatness of the man.
