Great thread and a very innovative idea, Minardi fan.

My choices are as follows:

1. Ayrton Senna

2. Jacques Villeneuve (a tough one. Mika and Verstappen come close but Jacques has unique persona)

3. Ferrari (though Lotus is not far away)

4. Sauber Petronas (Just ahead of the Orange "Arrows")

5. The New Indianapolis Speedway, USA

6. Belgium Grand prix at Spa

7. Ayrton Senna

8. MIKA HAKKINEN (just wait when he comes to his BLASTING form)

9. Didier Pironi

10. Nobody's really that bad but imho Jenson Button is inexperienced one so this one goes to him.

11. Sepang, Malaysia

12. Magny Cours, France

13. Parabolica, Monza

14. the last corner at Magny cours

15. Aqua Minerali, Imola

16. Jacques becoming f1 champion

17. Gilles Villeneuve's death at Zolder, 1982

18. Introduce such laws that can allow at least 4 to 5 constructors to win races.
