I'm sorry, but if you think you could get in a F1 car and dominate without athletic ability...I can agree with your bottom 4, or at the very least see a strong argument for them, but there is NO WAY I'm putting a race car driver in a listing of top athletes. Tops at what he did? Sure. Does the guy have to be in good shape? Sure. Have good hand/eye coordination? Sure. But to list him alongside somebody like Jordan, Federer and Phelps is a joke. I struggle putting Woods in the top group of athletes, but at least what he does actually takes athletic ability. Not so much to be able to turn a steering wheel while shifting and alternately pressing on gas, clutch, and brake pedals while sitting on your ass.
These guys need to be in great shape, have great hand/eye coordination, cat like reflexes, brass balls... they are as much athletes (or more) as baseball players, golf players, long distance runners, high jumpers, olympic ping pong players, etc.
