To give you ideas:
Mike Hawthorn
Phil Hill
Denny Hulme
Jody Scheckter
Keke Rosberg
Nigel Mansell
Damon Hill
Jacques Villeneuve.
Who was the worst driver to become F1 World Champion?
Thank heavens, a question that doesn't involve Lewis Hamilton. Get bored waiting for questions worth answering.
I'd rule Hawthorn out of the list, because he was to only original Ferrari team member to survive the 1958 season and he'd been a good enough driver to get into the Ferrari team in the first place (not easy for a non-Italian in those days).
Phil Hill is right near the top of the list, as he not only had the best car but his Championship-leading teammate was killed before the end of the season, handing him the title on a plate. He only won 3 races in his career, and in one of those the British teams didn't show up and it was a Ferrari 1-2-3-4-5.
Denny Hulme was really underrated, even during his career. Ok, he wasn't an all-time great, and he won his title with reliability (He finished all but 2 races in the points and won twice, whereas Clark won 4 times, but only finished 6 races all season). Still not the worst in this list.
Scheckter was in the right place at the right time, had a quick and reliable car, didn't make too many mistakes, with an honest teammate (who honoured their No1/No2 contracts)who didn't try to pass him at Monza when they finished 1-2 to win the drivers' and constructors' titles. Not a great, but at least he won more races in his career than most of the drivers in the list.
Rosberg lucked into his title by having the most reliable car in a year where the fastest often didn't finish. Without Pironi's accident Rosberg would be just the answer to an obscure quiz question about Monaco 83 or Dallas 84.
I'm a Mansell-hater, he really aws the luckiest driver in the world to get the best car for so long. He only won one title with a massive car advantage and no in-team competition. Still probably the best driver in this list however.
Damon Hill got lucky in that Schumi handicapped himself with an uncompetitive Ferrari for the season and Villeneuve wasn't quite up to speed. Otherwise he was a journeyman, not even as good as his father (who was probably the least talented multiple champion in history).
Villeneuve is another who suffers by comparison with his father, but he was better than Hill. Maybe lots of people chose him when answering this question because they don't remember any of the other drivers?
To sum up, I'd go for Phil Hill. Lucky more than once. Rosberg second and Damon Hill third.

Reply:No bad drivers win championships. Were talking about the best drivers in the world and the difference between the first ten is about tenths of a second, even if a driver won a single championship he's still a deserving world champion.
Reply:Good question but can I choose from a non driving prospective?
If I can, it's Mansell! A moustache!!!!!!!!!

Reply:Jacques Villeneuve.
Reply:Perhaps your question should be rephrased, changing `worst driver' to `least deserving driver' and, undoubtedly the would be Michael Schumacher in 1994, when he won the title by a single point from Damon Hill.
Some of us vividly remember the details of his coming together with Hill, midway around the track on the 36th lap of the season finale, the Australian Grand Prix at Adelaide.
Both drivers exited the race and Schumacher was crowned champion by virtue of the one-point lead he had going into the race.
However, if I'm to answer your question in its original form (and I really shouldn't have changed it), then I'll suggest Nigel Mansell as the `worst driver to become F1 World Champion.'
Reply:Keke Rosberg...no doubt,that year John Watson deserves even more..
Reply:Jacques Villeneuve
Reply:jacques villeneuve becoz he always despite msc
Reply:Jacques Villeneuve was my fav one anyway
I loved his platinum hair
Reply:Rosberg, it was all car.
Reply:some of those names were way before my time,but of the more recent ones, it has to be Jacques Villeneuve... after lucking out the championhship using a vastly superior car he carried this unbelievable misplaced arrogance after even when when he got kicked out of his drive...
Reply:Jacques Villeneuve
Reply:SCHUMACHER
Reply:Well this is a VERY subjective question, but I'd have to say none of the above. Because almost none of the drivers you mention above sailed to victory because their car was sooo much better than any other in the field. To me it would have to come down to two things. a) the fellow who took way too many chances putting himself and other drivers in danger, and b) the fellow who only made it because of the car.
The answer to a) IMHO would have to be Ayrton Senna
The answer to b) would have to be Michael Schumaker
Forced to choose one i'd probably go with Schumaker.

Whos gonna win the 2007 AFL grand final?
I think this years grand final will be between Freo and Geelong. West Coast, Sydney, Collingwood and Hawthorn are the only others to get close.
Geelong are in great form and Freo is on the rise and just starting to string wins together with Tarrant and Pavlich looking in great form as is the Ablett brothers for Geelong, Steve Johnson, Jared Rook, and Joel Corey honourable mentions.
Wooden spoon contendors between Melbourne and Richmond..with Richmond very unlucky and the better of the 2 bottom teams currently.
Whos gonna win the 2007 AFL grand final?
I think that in the Grand Final Kangaroos will meet the West Coast Eagles and in a close match Kangaroos will come away with the flag. I chose Kangaroos in their because after losing the first three, they havent lost a single match since and are in premiership form!
Carlton is my pick for Wooden spoon because Melbourne and Richmond have been SO close over the last few weeks and will start winning matches soon while Carlton look like having no hope in 14th possie
Reply:Well being a Sydney supporter i still think they're in with a big chance... But geelong are looking very good at the moment and will be hard to knock off... Report It
Reply:Well, its early days yet, and I dont agree with you about Freo.....but Geelong are playing bloody well, and I think it will be them, Eagles %26amp; Swans up there, with the swannies winning it by 3 points.
I wouldnt discount Carlton from winning the spoon again either...they have only 2 wins and Melb %26amp; Tigers have been playing ok
Reply:What about Essendon?
Reply:geelong - they're the best and they're playing really good now.
richmonds gonna get the wooden spoon this year, but i thought they played good against essendon though (that was not a free kick - at the end)
Reply:Right now I'd say Geelong and West Coast but with the teams rise and falls on the ladder and injuries, form, etc. Hard to tell yet, You never know.
Reply:geelong and thats my final answer
Reply:Geelong looking good, they will prob play west coast. I cant wait till the day when richmond is a contender again
Reply:With all due respect to all who have answered - Geelong will implode like they have every other time they have been there. If they win I will bear my butt on Bourke St at Lunchtime - Swannies for me
Reply:West Coast will win this years Grand final because of their depth and great team./
Reply:West Coast, quite comfortably. When Daniel Kerr returns to the side next week, the Eagles will continue their dominance of the league as per the past two seasons. How anyone can not tip the Eagles to be in the Grand Final is beyond me. They are the reigning premiers, and are currently sitting on top of the ladder even with two of the Leagues greatest current players out on suspension/personal.
Reply:Nah I've gotta say I doubt Freo's Grand Final chance, they have'nt been playing great football lately. They rely too heavily on Tarrent and Pavilich, I reckon Pavlich is overrated and purple looks bad on Tarrant. Sorry had to add that in.
However, Eagles are right up there, as you would expect. As soon as they get their goal kicking much more accurate they will be the team to beat. GO WEST COAST
Swans have kind of disapointed me so far thi season, but I won't right them off yet.
Geelong are playing mighty well! They have a great chance of the Flag this year and they will remain strong for the next few years.
I love Richmond and they will get better. The premiership teams of today were the wooden spooners of yesterday.
West Coast v Geelong for GF, with history repeating itself and Eagles winning :)

What happens if Franklin gets injured?
will hawthorn be able to win matches?
What happens if Franklin gets injured?
I go for the Hawks and they have plenty of talent in their forward line. Dew, Roughhead, Rioli, Williams (highest goal scorer a couple of years back) - I think they'd be fine if he got injured...
Reply:I think you need to keep it simple, the only reason Buddy gets so many opportunities at goal is because he is getting consistent quality feed from the midfield. The Hawks still have other players to go to in that Foward line, and they have already shown that they are not worried about sharing it around. The bonus with Lance Franklin is his X-Factor persona when he is on the field, his ability to move more like a Basketballer than a typical Power Foward.
Reply:because the team would lose a bit of confidence, and others will have more, i think the hawks will want to try twice as hard up forward to score the amount of goals buddy kicks for them, they would have the same aount of 50 entrances but it would be up to jarred roughhead and other forwards to mark the ball, and the ball will probably touch the ground more often which gives small players like cyril rioli to scoop it up and kick the goal
Reply:T. Boyle would come into the side and there would still be 2 talls in the forward line. The focus would be more on Roughead which would be good for Williams and Rioli, as Boyle would still take the 2nd best defender. Throw guys like Hodge and Dew in the mix it's still a pretty decent forward line. Just not as exciting
Reply:They will certainly miss the number of goals that he contributes to the game but they do have a number of other notable players who will keep them competitive.
Reply:it would take a big chunk out of their goal scoring attack but i recon they would still have enougth power to win against most teams
Reply:Hawthorn have a great foward line, not just Franklin. They would still have Roughead, Rioli, and Williams.
Reply:hawks will be screwed if franklin isn't there
but do hav other gd forwards like roughead, rioli, williams,
Reply:Na
if buddys gone the foward line will fall apart. And the rovers and midifielder will have there heads down
The whole team will los confidence
Reply:opposition teams will be very happy. They will still win games but they wont be as damaging without the big fella
Reply:no franklin... no hawks!

Help with the novel "the scarlet letter", why did the society chang their view about the letter A?
First the society made Hester wear the A as a meaning of adultary, then when a metor in a shap of A falls from the sky, Dimmesdale believes its a reminder of sin, while the towns people believe its A for angel.
can you please explain why think of the letter A as something good. and what dose Hawthorn try to say with it?
thank you

They change their view to angel because the meteor falls after someone dies,so they believe he's become an angel.

Only about 7 1/2 hours away, but your picks on the semfinals this weekend?
Here is what I think, Collingwood over West Coast, no Judd and no Cousins. I wish the rest of the WCE list had enough to get over. It looks like the Maggies will be able to overcome their lack of experience out of Melbourne and win this game. Good luck to Woosha, bad luck to Mick (he left Perth for Collingwood, that should make him deserve to lose Friday night).
Hawthorn over North Melbourne, three reasons. (1) Buddy Franklin. (2) North hasn't recovered from the beating last week. (3) Corey Jones out, Brent Harvey can only kick five goals, maybe and that won't be enough to get the Kangas over. Tell me I am wrong or right, other opinions welcome. Thanks for the answers.
