Without even mentioning Hill P, Rodriguez, McLaren and many others. And also think of those who had been killed or grievously injured in recent years that would not have been in today's conditions - the would-be-Coulthards of 1965 would have included Musso, Collins, Allison and a certain S C Moss. It's no comparison at all.

Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, Dan Gurney, Jack Brabham, Denny Hulme, John Surtees, Lorenzo Bandini, Jochen Rindt are all legends but we'll never know how any of them would measure up against Coulthard or Trulli in equal equipment. Its the age-old question. All we can do is surmise and debate... then look at the stats and conclude from there

Obviously pretty highly, but it very much depends on the competition he had at the time.
