1997 top 10 drivers - our individual lists!

In fairness Mika missed the 'big headline results' mostly through unreliability-he was on course to win Britain and Luxemburg before retiring and while he only lasted a lap in Austria, he was leading it [as well as being disqualified from Belgium when he finished 3rd]. Mika also said by mid-97 he'd finally recovered from his Australia 95 crash so that was also a factor in his upturn.

As usual, I find myself agreeing the most with Edd's list (though excluding Panis was a bit questionable)

Anssi Rulamo

I'm surprised everyone put Hakkinen so high up tbh. He was great near the end of the season but missed out on the big headline results Coulthard had. His upturn in pace seemed to coincide with the introduction of brake steer at Silverstone.

Year 2000. You can't go wrong.

I'm glad Glenn put Berger in his top 10 (even if I still don't forgive him for the deliberate attempt to sabotage the overall Top 10).
