Default Which Formula 1 driver should be drive a Rally car

Once there are Formula 1 drivers that drive in a more agressive way than others(at the end of the day, the most important thing is to get some good results regardless the style of driving)...and each driver has got its own style and technique of driving a car, as well as the personality......and some drivers style resembles more or less the technique of driving a rally car

Id like to get the names (from other members) of the F1 drivers(currents or former drivers) who are desired to be seen driving a rallycars, accompanied with a proper co-driver(the co-driver musnt be driving in this year for a make)

There you go a list of F1 or former F1 drivers who Id like to see driving a rallying car (ive decided to make a list using F1 drivers who has driven a Formula 1 car in an agressive way), and get alonside them the most experienced and good co-drivers that currently dont codrive in the world rallying championship.

- Jos Verstappen - Derek Ringer
- Juan Pablo Montoya - Robert Reid
- Jacques Villeneuve - Risto Maninsemaky
- Eddie Irvine - Nicky Grist
- Jean Alesi - Bernard Occelli
- Nigel Mansell - Juha Reppo

I think maybe a fin, ( not in your list) because there are many in rallying and there always good, so maybe Kimi raikkonen (Mika Salo???)
with Gronholms Co-Driver (dont know his name, sorry)

I also like what you said about Jos, would be nice for him to race again, maybe in the WRC or maybe in F1 next year

The names of Sato and Raikonnen are useful names for me as well....once none of them are the drivers who drive in the most tydiest way a Formula 1 once

In addition, id add the name of Ralph Firman in the list as well....i see him the driver who oversteers most in the current list of formula 1 drivers since a few years now on

i think the minardi drivers, baumgartner and bruni, can be good at rallying because their f1 cars are always sideways.
