Ranking F1 World Champions with David Coulthard!LL EP

Ayrton Senna, é o maior heroi aqui no Brasil, até os dias de hoje! Nós brasileiros temos muito carinho e orgulho por ele. É o verdadeiro herói brasileiro!

Brother as im watching alonf DC is smart but he doesnt make any sense. Like picking hakkinen above Mansell for speed but not doing that for button?

Senna over Schumacher because he wanted to compete in F1 with the best, aka established names. Brother you debuted in 1994 and Schumi in 1991, while Senna debuted in 84. Obviously youd more likely watched Senna than Schumacher like wtf. Thought this was gonna be a good video but heavily disappointed by how DC contrives his reasons

Jim Clark was great but the era he was competing at was very weak and he had the best car for most of the time.

That was absolutely brilliant, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to DC, and I am not claiming to be a huge fan, but he was outstanding

In 1995, after two world championship titles, all the top teams were vying for Schumacher's signature. Yet he chose a team in dire straits : Ferrari. No other Formula 1 driver had ever made such a choice. And above all, thanks to exceptional determination and patience, he led Ferrari to the top and won five consecutive titles. Titles won with Ferrari hold a special significance because the pressure is greater (an entire nation expects the best from you). For this incredible feat, Schumacher is, by far, the greatest.

Great show, unfortunately the first race I ever saw was the one where Senna died. So I don't know much about Senna or those before him, only from documentaries, which are, of course, quite rightly very Senna-friendly. For me, Michael Schumacher is and always will be number one. He was one of the few who managed to win the WDC with two different teams, and multiple times at that. Out of duty and responsibility to the team, he even drove and won a race in Imola in 2003, after his mother had died the day before. He also repeatedly proved that he was the man to beat on the track, and that for over 10 years. The whole package is the deciding factor for me. That tells me everything I need to know to make a decision. Max is on a very good path, but it's a long one.

Senna is the Old GOAT and Verstappen the New GOAT

Max got the same special treatment in his team as Schumacher, David can't even be consistent... Schumi prime was a better driver than Max. Bias is showing. Tier 1. Senna Tier 2. Hamilton and Schumacher Tier 3. Alonso, Vettel (raced prime Hamilton and Alonso) and Max but if Max wins one more in the new regs he goes to tier 2 with Lewis and Michael.

Sports betting is for losers.

As a Lewis Hamilton fan I think Max is the more talented driver but he's too dirty to ever be the GOAT, IMO.

It's crazy to compere Max Varstappen at 28 with 4 championship and Hamilton at 41 with 8 championships. Actually 9 championship. Hamilton is clearly the best f1 driver ever. You can check the records of all drivers. This guys clearly hate Hate Hamilton.

Senna was great, but Schumacher was legendary.

..What have I missed? Was there some story between DC and Nico? It seems, David deliberately omitted him from this discussion, despite Nico's presence in the list.

Remember how all of them described Michael Schumacher as the god of racing because he had the highest numbers of championship wins. But they have suddenly changed their narratives now that the black man, Lewis Hamilton is in the picture. They are ready to put someone with just one or two as their best. A sport still heavily carrying the shackles of racism as it in the past till the present day

Fangio dominated like nobody else and also managed to survive. Not to mention he was deep in his 40s. Saying Verstappen is better than Fangio because the cars are better is just mind boggling. Fangio came 1st or 2nd in like 90% of the races he participated. And it is not because of lack of competition. Max was given a championship and won 3 more on a clearly dominant car. He is a great driver but one of the greatest? Nowhere near. The best driver he beat was an aging Hamilton. And he had to be gifted the first time.

the thing is max is still racing

sickening how coulthard has to go with the politically correct choice of senna over schumacher, senna who whined and complained about not being able to jump ship and join williams so he can win more championships vs schumacher who destroyed williams and then did it again with the added handicap of driving for ferrari, thats someone who wants a challenge not some candy luxury driver like senna

44:58 fairly uncontroversial career for hamilton? oh please, fairly uncontroversial because he was british, i can make a case he had a more controversial career than schumacher, he started out at mclaren stealing ferrari data and hamilton keeping quiet about it, alonso admitted the truth and was thrown out of the team, hamilton kept quiet and protected the cheating so mclaren liked him, then he won a title the next season, if schumacher won a title with stolen data then it would be a scandal, then lie gate, tractor gate, passing a safety car, trying to destroy his teammates race to win a title, and getting about 1000% more teammate support than schumacher ever did

felipe massa disagrees that he signed a contract saying he was number 2 to schumacher, all it said was he would do whatever ferrari asked, irvine also signed that as did every f1 driver, but somehow that has been turned into specific number 2 contract to schumacher and its to discredit schumacher as if ferrari would always disadvantage you or give you a lesser ferrari compared to schumacher

if you are somehow better than schumacher then you would be ahead in the championship and be number 1 and schumacher would be number 2, like when schumacher missed half the season and came back to support irvine

Nice pod, but wish we could see the Board more.

que buena entrevista

Verstappen's gonna win this. (FFWD to the end: alright, Senna's good too 😄.) Love to hear DC talk about all these champs, great interview. Although he's predominantly excusing all the champs he crosses off, for all the valid reasons btw.

I’m Brazilian and a lifelong Senna fan. I still remember exactly where I was on that Sunday in ’94, and I’ve watched and read everything about him.
That said, I’d put Max in P1, or very close to it in the near future. His level of concentration, split second decision making, and ability to take calculated risks are on another level. He knows when to attack and just as importantly, when to hold position and secure the result.
That kind of realism and consistency wins championships.
I honestly think Senna himself would recognize that.
And of course both are exceptional in the rain.

David just bias bad about hamilton if team sabbortorge hamilton he would b on 10

Jenson over Kimi is such an L take from DC here NGL

Max has had a second driver in the same way Schumacher did, so he never raced against a top driver but Lewis did and beet them.....

You can’t compare drivers over different eras. Different skill sets etc, technology and the list goes on. Compare them within their respective eras and leave it at that.

It's always a pleasure to hear DC, whether it is on a podcast, in a documentary, or as a live commentator.
However, I feel it's a bit awkward when the hosts do this whole schtick while not actually knowing the WDC's by heart. "Lauda won in 76?" Host: "yes." Did Fangio win 4 or 5? This was the most famous factoid about the whole of F1 until 2003... There are a couple more in this episode and I've heard mistakes in others, but come on, if you do this thing that gets 10.000s of views, just learn the list, it'll take one evening max.

Where Coulthard to opine with measured, insightful assessment, is that fact that he is impressionable by things not that deep or complex! His comments on Senna as if he was a film star is a great example. They are just people. Evaluating an athelete is about their individual skill and how they approach the thing called, Sport. One the one hand, Coulthard points out Schumacher having a whole team and team-mate infrastructure to get results aganist Senna who would have any team-mate. Max is exactly, if not more, the Schumacher scenario. As good as Max is, he simply has not proven he has the strength of character and sportman skill to race alongside another great driver.
In my opinion, it is a daft idea that there is one driver to be singled out as the greatest... a really daft converation! There are greats in every era, all as good as each other given the circumstances. C'mon!

45:33 Unconscious attempted murder, that is.
Imagine that before that, 49 G was the highest measured deceleration which a human survied. It happened in the US as they were experimenting with deceleration in context to atmospheric reentry for space crafts.
These tests were then made illegal, for obvious reasons.
HAM "just" opened up his steering bc he was fed up? Ooh... Poor thing.

But on the other hand, he's living through the Karma that action gave him. And will still have to for at least another 12 months.

One point that everyone avoids mentioning, perhaps even innocently, since it doesn't reflect the reality of the United States-Europe axis, is that Senna is the purest talent ever produced in F1 history. While the other three in the "Top 4" were born and raised in a Europe that prepared drivers for motorsport from a young age. Add to that the fact that Hamilton was mentored from an early age by a McLaren driver program and Verstappen was taught by a former Formula 1 driver father the hardships of living at a high level from a young age. Senna had none of that. He came from a family that never had any contact with motorsport, he was even prevented from racing, and even one of his fiercest rivals, Nelson Piquet, said that he was the greatest raw talent he had ever seen in motorsport, which is logically true. Senna arrived in Europe and simply won everything until he reached Formula 1. A guy who came from a third-world country with a totally unstable economy and a turbulent political scenario (for those who don't know, Brazil at that time was going through a long period of military intervention that was coming to an end with the redemocratization of the country in the years to come) simply came and won, against all odds in a Europe full of skilled drivers with much more structure. That alone puts Ayrton Senna da Silva above the others, because only someone with surreal talent could reach where he did. Piquet and especially Fittipaldi also went through this and both have merit (Fittipaldi was the pioneering Brazilian champion in F1 and Formula Indy and was also the first Brazilian to win the Indy 500), but the difference between them and Senna is that the latter elevated the art of driving a Formula 1 car to the highest level of excellence, which is why Senna is the best of all time!!!

button over kimi no way . kimi is a mith of the game

Soy argentino y no tengo dudas de que Senna es el mejor de todos pero no es europeo y fangio lo sigue sin duda

Hamilton!!?? What a joke. Next time, invite someone who has at least won one world title in their lifetime.

Lewis was too nice and fair, no matter the absolutely unmatched achievement. It's opinion. it's okay. Coulthard"s great. But Lewis is the better man and the better driver. Had he died tragically, hands down..

Senna The best driver! Goat 🔥🔥🔥!

Your nickname is incompetent stupid and biased the worst ever to judge a driver

There was this story about Fittipaldi and Coulthard doing a demonstration for Mercedes back in the early 2000's. I believe the plan was to do 5laps of the Hockenheim track in a 1950's Mercedes f1 car. Emmo went at it full pelt,DC however came in the pits after just 1lap and got out the car...sheetwhite 😂

You Dudes got a 120% out of DC! That was so f.ing Cool! Thank you! DC is just such a well Spoken i really enjoyed every second of that Show!

Mika David LEGENDS! Have both Signed Pics from 1998 My Heroes! David is just i would love to seen the Girls He have seen and Mika is just so Cool i mean Cool as Ice and "Flat Out"!!!

It’s amazing to me how a former F1 driver like Coulthard doesn’t recognize how age affects drivers, he made his point about how Hamilton is worse than Verstappen because in the last few years he has lost to Russel and Leclerc even tho that shouldn’t be a surprise whatsoever seeing Hamilton’s age. He was 36 in 2021 and he still was going toe to toe with prime Max.
I think that it’s a fact that Hamilton is better than Verstappen

For me they all had their own unique qualities so it's impossible to say which one is the greatest. But if you were to say who was the fastest it would either be Clark or Senna no question.

Senna is the GOAT!

Schumacher is the lance Armstrong of racing 😅

Terrible framing. The board is unreadable in every shot because of all that wasted empty space. You can't blame people for complaining when the editing makes the information impossible to see. Fix the layout and the complaints will stop.

Atgain, someone fawning over Ferrari.
By now nothing more than la delusione rampante. How the tifosi manage to keep it up, I'll never know.

Coulthard is a backstabber against Hamilton all his career. Scotsman what do you expect???? Hamilton is way above Verstappen the fact that he has had a bad couple of seasons is not the measure of what Hamilton has done in a car.. Funny the likes of Brundle and many others like Coulthard used to accuse Mercedes of not giving him a strong enough teammate while they stayed silent with the weak and subservient teammates Red Bull paired Max. Anyone remembers "Wingman"?? Shame on Coulthard the Red Bull ambassador of course he will conjure up any feeble matrix to claim Max is a better champion than Hamilton... Now let's all have a guess at how many WDC has Coulthard won???

So who s best at the end?

you guys did well
