RacingNews365 readers have decided on the best driver never to race in F1 – and its a nine-time world champion!
According to RacingNews365 readers, Sebastien Loeb, a nine-time World Rally champion, is considered the greatest driver never to have raced in F1. Loeb’s dominance in the WRC with Citreon from 2004 to 2012 solidified his reputation, with additional wins even after becoming part-time in 2013. Despite plans to debut in F1 in 2009 with Toro Rosso, Loeb was denied a super license by the FIA due to insufficient circuit racing experience. In a poll where Loeb narrowly beat Scott Dixon, both drivers received over 50% of the votes, with third place going to Tom Kristensen. Some voters suggested ‘Someone else,’ like Mike Thackwell, a New Zealander with potential who never made it to F1. Full poll results can be found below!”
