I sense xtreme disappointment in your tone, xpensive :twisted:
I am not amazed by F1 cars in Monaco. I want to see them driving in the A8 highway: Variable radius corners, negative banking, and extreme narrowings that Tilke has never dreamed off. Oh, yes, and "beautiful" weather tops it all.

Perhaps so Miguel, there are priorities in life however.

Quick attempt: Jim Clark (1960-1968)

EDIT: No, it's not Jim. Even Schumacher has a better record. Oh, well, that will probably change this weekend. MWUAHAHAHA.

He won 24 World Championship Grands Prix from 51 starts - a winning percentage of 47.06%, the best winning percentage in the sport's history...

Juan Manuel Fangio - from 1948 to 1958 in F1.

Close but no cigar! Not far off though. You're in the right era.

Holy crap! Not Fangio? From what I've seen, the other obvious candidate, Ascari, has a worse percentage at a misery 40%. It can't be Farina, and Moss is at 1/4.

Who currently holds the top speed record for an F1 driver in a race?

Not fastest average speed, TOP SPEED
