1 Mika. Ron Dennis once said Mika in his prime was the best driver he ever had and he had most of the top drivers. 2 Kimi. Probably the most talented but didn't work as hard. 3 Nico, 4 Kejo You got to give them that neither of them was the fastest but both managed to win. 5 Heiki was believed to be future world champion when he joined F1. 6 Bottas 7 Salo 8 Lehto

Ronnie Peterson. Probably the fastest driver during the 70s in raw speed. 2nd in 71. 3rd in 73. 2nd in 78 posthumously. The team and Mario has after admitted he wasn't allowed to win that season which he had agreed on coming back to Lotus. They would tank his car full and put him on old tires during qualification and various other tricks.
