[Suggestion] Icons I want to see in F1 25

Hi guys, 

with F1 25 growing near, it's time for speculations and suggestions. And this one is immediately an interesting one. 

It's about the My Team Icons, which the player can hire to their team. 

Personally, I have a couple of wishes regarding Icons. These include former F2 champions, as well as fan favorites, champions and legends. 

These are:

  • Nyck de Vries (F2 Icon): Not the youngest driver anymore, and by that right not really the best, but just for history completion and because we never got Nyck de Vries back in F1 23, it's only fair to bring him back to an F1 game. I just hope he's not that garbage pace-wise like in F1 23.
  • Felipe Drugovich (F2 Icon): Nobody talks about the 2022 F2 champion Felipe Drugovich, a talented and still decently young driver with high potential. He deserves a chance with a team, even if it has to be a new one. From F1 Manager, I know that Felipe has the stuff to keep up with the other drivers, but I wouldn't say he's on par with say Lewis Hamilton. 
  • Daniel Ricciardo (Bronze): We need the Honey Badger back in the grid. Danny Ric is a funny guy and still a great driver on top of it, despite his pretty high age. Having him as a teammate is always an adventure, and I'm pretty sure that a few of us would like to make him a champion. 
  • Kimi Raikkonen (Silver): The Iceman himself is an Icon that I asked for plenty of times, and EA SPORTS always meet this suggestion with deaf ears. Sure, Kimi was the oldest driver in the grid, and he deserves his retirement, but very few had the chance to have him as a teammate since he's usually the first one to retire. We need him back. 
  • Sebastian Vettel (Gold): Do I need to say more? Four time world champion, still a fine driver, and an ambitious man. If that's no champion material, then I don't know what is. Could also be my German bias saying that, but Nico Hulkenberg is not that great, and Sebastian Vettel sure is a big name that you want to have in your team at least once. 

If these five Icons make their way to F1 25, then I will gladly pair two of them together. They all deserve a drive in F1, whether they are former F2 champions or retired drivers that still have what it takes to win. 

Let's hope for the best. 

- Nico
