Jean-Henri Vergne made my list as well, as did Olivier Panis, who I think... And that one's maybe more circumstantial because he had an awful leg injury in 1997 that I think... voice-verified

cost him a lot of his pace he did come back after that but I think he was better before the injury than after it so yeah I didn't go I didn't go Montoya or Eamon whilst I would definitely associate those names because I think it depends if you're saying top car or top team because they both didn't get I think a proper chance in a top car maybe you could argue Montoya did in 2005 because Raikkonen wasn't too far off the title but yeah I mean Chris Eamon as we've discussed before one of the unluckiest drivers in history voice-verified

And then last up, and this is maybe open to interpretation a little bit. voice-verified

We are focusing a bit more on track here when we say this. voice-verified

So a Mount Rushmore of the current most exciting or most entertaining drivers to watch. voice-verified

You know what? voice-verified

My four. voice-verified

Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, voice-verified

I've also put Liam Lawson on my list. voice-verified

The voice-verified

watching a car. voice-verified

I don't know what's going to happen each and every time we go on board. voice-verified

Who knows what the outcome might be? voice-verified

His teammate might be 10 millimetres away from his front wing, probably. voice-verified

You do get a lot of entertainment. voice-verified

I had Leclerc because it always feels like he's on the edge, particularly in qualifying, of either crashing or producing a pole position voice-verified

I think maybe Hamilton and Verstappen are surprising names for some that have appeared on both of our lists because we have seen extended periods of dominance from them that you could maybe not call the most entertaining. voice-verified

But I think Lewis Hamilton, it was proven by what happened in Barcelona this year. voice-verified

When he's got the bit between his teeth and he's really in the groove... voice-verified

He's thrilling to watch. voice-verified
