LotusLover I put Massa in there because of the Prost quote I think, the #you need t lose a Championship, to know how to win one" quote. When you look at it, throughout the history of the sport, all WDC winners have had a bitter loss first, then come back a season or two later, but it is amazing to see how many do it the year later. Massa had one shot then Ferrari lost faith in him, even though in my opinion it was Ferrari who let him down. Yeah sure, he had the quickest car that year, but Ferrari's blunders, much like with Seb in 2017 cost him. Ferrari have always run the number 1 / number 2 driver thing, and with Alonso in the team Massa was again firmly a number 2 driver. So he was never really given a fair shot at it, even though he came painfully close in 2008.

Also you missed out Dan Ticktum from your list of youngsters, also feel Ocon should be included in that list, possibly Sainz, although this season I'm starting to question his ability given Hulkenberg is making mince meat out of him.
