Interesting list you provide - and a few WDCs missing?
Fittipaldi - 2x WDC with different teams (including youngest ever at the time), CART title and 2x Indy500.
Hawthorn - 1st British WDC. 24h Le Mans winner.
Surtees - WDC and multiple successes on 2 wheels.
Keke Rosberg - WDC and father of a WDC.
Farina - 1st ever WDC.
Mario Andretti - Named the "Driver of the Century" by the Associated Press and RACER magazine, 2000.
Damon Hill - took a title in the midst of Schumacher's era.
Jacques Villeneuve - achieved a title in F1 (something Gilles did not).
There are cases to be made for any of these to be on the list ahead of some of the choices - so my vote would be for 'other'.
