Hw do club assicatetion relises their funds
Your list is interesting… the only thing is that Schumacher isnt the best of all time. Look it up again buddy. Even though Senna only won 3 times, he still holds records… and gues where Schumacher was whe Senna died: BEHIND SENNA
I believe he meant to say “one of the greatest F-1 drivers of all time”, as you can see he put “drivers”, not driver. Just forget to put “one of” in there. Otherwise, why even put “as”?
