Felipe and Rubens are good drivers, however, going back in time, we haven't got anything to speak of until JPM and the last WDC was Ayrton.

OK, Brazil has a steller period from 70 - 90 but apart from that, the 2 continents have barely scratched the surface.

Some die hards still wax lyrical about JV but Canada have the same amount of WDC as New Zealand.

The US has won 2 championships but that's the same as Spain, less than Italy or half what Austria and France have each won.

OK, we have the legendary Fangio and what an achievement one peoson has had but really, if you take Argentina and Brazil out of it, there is nothing.

I don't know, I think you're stretching your argument excluding certain decades and countries now Knock I'm sure if you excluded half of Europe you'd find European performances quite unimpressive too

If you add up Fangio, Fittipaldi, Piquet, Senna, Massa, Barrichello, JPM, and I'm sure a few other race winners who I can't think of right now, I would say South America has produced a great crop of drivers from what is not a particularly rich continent.

With you all the way on North America of course.
