    Actually Brazilian blooming in F1 was a consequence of the rise of Brazil’s auto industry in the 60s, around São Paulo. It created an ecosystem of auto parts makers, garages, stores etc. The Fittipaldi brothers themselves (Emerson and his brother Wilson, who also raced F1) had a steering wheel factory. São Paulo was also the destination of a horde of Italian immigrants (the Fittipaldis among them), who brought the auto racing passion with them. The construction of the Interlagos racing track in the 50s catalyzed all that into structured competitive auto racing. Brazil now has many racing tracks and championships, from rally to stock car to monopostos.
    Last but not least, you failed to mention 3 time world champion Nelson Piquet, for some reason often forgotten in great champions lists.

    Finland isn't exactly "not known for their race car drivers". In almost any international motorsport, there's been a slew of Finns racing and winning. For example Finland was the undisputed number one home of WRC champions before the domination of the two Sebastiens taking the top number of championships to France. And even now, Finland has overwhelmingly the biggest number of champions.
    BTW, talking about Loeb and Ogier, what's up with the trend of long lasting champions in F1 and especially WRC in the last 20 years? In F1 it's been mostly Schumacher, Vettel and Hamilton, and in WRC almost exclusively Loeb and Ogier. It's almost as if the two sports have gone stale and the same drivers are practically meant to win multiple times, instead of having to seriously compete for their titles most of the time.

She used to drive me to elementary school and do a handbrake turn in the school yard. Sometimes she did a J turn while leaving the school yard. And her gas pedal used to be heavy when she was young. I remember watching from the backseat and asking why is she doing 140km/h@100km/h zone. One time she was pulled over by the police and the police asked how was she even able to get the 1.3l Corolla to go over 160km/h :D. This happened in the 80's and 90's.

      He kind of nailed it with driving on ice. Driving at the limit of grip on ice is basically the same as doing it on tarmac - the only difference is that everything happens faster on tarmac.
      There’s also a culture of cheap auto racing classes with a low barrier of entry. Folk racing has a maximum cost limit on the cars involved. Any car can be bought out for about 1000e after a race, preventing people from pouring money into them. If you want to race, you can.

Most people have no idea how to recover from, much less control or initiate a skid. Not only does the Finnish driver test require power slides, many Finnish drivers routinely break traction in non panic fashion on the way to the store or work. There's good reason it's called the Finnish Flick.

    I'm Brazilian and you forgot to mention the brazilian pilot Nelson Piquet, who won the F1 Championship three times before Senna. In Brazil, we normally don't have slippery roads due to snow (even though, in certain regions in the south of Brazil, it can snow), but the condition of our roads are lame, so we have many bumpy highways and we have to excel at driving. Of course, all the Brazilians who raced in F1 come from rich or middle-class families, that could afford that they started racing on karts.

    Please upload the Rosberg photo, he deserves it not just because of his victory but also because of his determination. That season was incredible btw

    I think you’ve missed one important consideration: UK drivers are weaned on karting. They start training early!

      I'm from Finland and started to drive real car at age of 6. In Finland it's normal at countryside to have a car for practicing at field and winter at lake's ice. Kids are driving there when not yet old enough for driving school

    Just remember that Mercedes engines are made and designed in the UK. Mercedes bought Ilmor and renamed it Mercedes High Performance Engines (or similar).

      British and German car companies are so intermixed at this point that it’s actually hard to pull them apart now. Most ‘British’ companies are actually German, and so it goes on and on. It’s like Britain and Germany got married and had little car babies that took over the world.
