F1 fist fight. Who is the toughest driver?

This is totally off the wall, but for some reason Mansell just seems like the last real "man" to race. If you gave him **** in a bar, he would probably fight you. The guys racing today just seem like total wimps.

In all of F1 history, who would take the title of actual bad ass? Mark Donohue? Mansell the Lion? Gerhard Berger kinda seemed like a no-bull$hit guy.

Alberto Ascari probably wouldnt let you call his mom a name.

Opinions?

 

James Hunt

Haha, classic.

 

I think Webber might be fairly handy in a bar room fight.

 

Toughest ? Lauda by miles.

Physical strength ? Jones ? Good shot by Hunt though..

 

You know what, I didnt even think of him. I agree.

 

who was the F1 driver that was arrested for beating up a cab driver?

happened late 80's/early 90's. driver was a mid-pack guy IIRC.

edit: it was Bertrand Gachot.

Sutil beat up an F1 team boss in a nightclub....

I am not talking inner strength, many have displayed that.... My question is way way less mature. I'm talking flat out, drunk, bar fight.

Im going with Mansell.

 

oh, they have to be drunk?

Hunt for sure.

 

Kimi

 

Kimi is a fun drunk, not an ass kickin' drunk.

Hmm. Stabbed with a champagne glass more like .

I would say Hunt would be most likely to kick some ass in a bar for **** and giggles. If you call webber a **** in a bar I'm sure after doing it once more he'll headbutt you. He's australian.

 

Ok, Jones for me.

 

Well, an obvious choice, because he actually did it; my memory is not what it used to be, but it was just before Monza...was it in 1980 or 1981, I don't remember, but he showed up with a bandaged hand due to "an argument with two gentlemen in one of London streets"...

Best

 

I agree with jones, although James hunt was a fiery chap. Not sure about mansell, always had an air of being a nice guy in private, just drove like a lion I think

For aggression, I'm guessing the Latin blood in your average Maldonado or senna would go off quicker than many? Not sure they would be tough with it though like a jones or a webber

 

I dunno but id take AJ Foyt over any of them.

 

Senna once punched Eddie Irvine in the face after being held up by him in Japan.
Senna and Mansell came to blows in the garage after a race but there's apparently no video. Witnesses say Mansell pinned Senna to a wall by the throat. My money would have been on Nige anyway.
Schumacher was once dragged away from Coulthard before punches could be exchanged.
Let's not forget Piquet's assault on Salazar:

Adrian "I wanted to become a professional Piano player and I'm holding hands with Lewis Hamilton" Sutil actually is the only one who proved he's dangerous in a bar fight

 

Massa. Even Lewis Hamilton got scared when Massa touched him on the shoulder last year at Singapore!

 

It's got to be Vettel!

(There's got to be a mean m@{#3>F~<#3r in there somewhere!, surely no one's that likeable? )


If not, then I'd go with Alan Jones because I suspect he's as hard as a coffin nail!

 

Mald looks like he would be quite handy, in a scrap.

 

1. Senna / Irvine: Suzuka 1993
2. Senna / Mansell: Spa 1986 or 1987
3. Schumacher / Coulthard: Spa 1998
4. Piquet / Salazar: Hockenheim 1981 or 1982...

 

webber ...he's got the reach! after that, maldonado, he's got lots of practise hitting others

vintage, i'd say hunt, then mansell

 

I´d go with Vitorio Brambilla...they called him the Monza Gorilla for something!!
Jack Brabham also seemed to be a tough guy...he used to cut corners in order to trhow gravel and rocks at the guys who where chasing him, in order for them to stay further back!!!!
