>Damon Hill
What kind of fucking moron goes from winning the championship for Williams to driving for Arrows within the space of 6 months? I mean don't get me wrong, Hill was already 36 when he won the WDC so his career was drawing to close after just 6 seasons, but he definitely still had a couple extra years of talent in him. By the time he came to his senses and moved to Jordan, the damage had already been done. He got his ass kicked by RSC and HHF on a regular basis, and he had to suck Eddie Jordan's dick via team radio to make sure the former didn't overtake him at the 1998 Belgian Grand Prix and deny him a final win.
>Jacques Villeneuve
I don't know what the fuck it is they put in the water supply over at Williams, but 2 years after winning WDC he moved to a no-name BAR that would take until 2004 to get strong, and by that point he left for Sauber. He was promised a drive at McLaren for 2002 but when Raikkonen turned out to be a much better option he got dumped. By the end of his career he was probably giving BJs behind his local Tim Hortons just to make ends meet, as he turned into the most egotistical unlikable prick the sport will ever see. Although I was against it at the time, it's a shame Schumacher didn't run Villeneuve into the wall at 200 mph instead of a simple love tap and spared us from such a miserable waste of motherfucking space that wouldn't even let video games use his name.
>Eddie Irvine
Of course, he had some shitty moments while at Ferrari (7 retirements in a row in 1996!), but in the early 2000s he was clearly destined for greater things than Jaguar.
4th place at Monaco in 2000, 3rd place a year later, and another 3rd at the 2002 Italian GP. Herbert, Burti and de la Rosa didn't have shit on this guy. It's clear he was pulling the team, not the other way around and quite frankly, deserved better. At least he had fun.
>Heinz Beanz Frentzen
This man went from driving for a still-good Jordan team, to an abysmal Prost (which collapsed at the end of the year), to Arrows (which collapsed at the end of that year), to Sauber, where he scored a podium at the USGP. With talent like that, he had no business being in a car that low on the pecking order. Also I think HHF has the distinction of not only being cucked in F1, but also cucked IRL because Michael Schumacher took his hoe. And why the fuck does he look so goddamn Asian? Was his dad cucked too? First time I saw his pic I thought he was Takuma Sato.
>Michael Schumacher
From what I understand, literally the only reason he retired in 2006 was because Ferrari had already signed Raikkonen for '07, and Massa was MSC's protege who would've had to leave the team or be demoted to test driver if Schumacher decided to stay, so he left to benefact Massa. When you're at 91 fucking wins you don't stop before you reach the big 100. Biggest cock-tease in motor-racing history. Then he left the year before Mercedes finally got gud, after such a ridiculously bad season.
>David Coulthard
Because McLaren had such a bad year in 2004, he went to Red Bull of all teams, which at that point in time was just a rebadged Jaguar. Then he left before Red Bull got serious in '09, after scoring a couple of podiums with the team. No doubt he had the potential to win in 2009, or pose a threat in earlier seasons if he decided to move to a better team like Toyota or BAR.
