#2 Ronnie Peterson
Considered the fastest driver in the mid 1970's, Ronnie Peterson was twice runner up in the championship. The Swedish driver made his Formula One debut in 1970 for a lesser known team after winning the Monaco F3 race in the previous year, and though he finished second to Stewart in the 1971 title race, it wasn't until 1973 and his spell with Lotus that he started winning races alongside Emmerson Fittipaldi.
He returned to Lotus in 1978 after a two year break and supported Mario Andretti's title campaign, but succumbed to his injuries sustained at the Italian GP. Peterson had 12 race wins in his Formula One career.
