It's easy to spot the people who have really successful careers - because they then tend to go and do something different equally well. Look at Tommi Makinen. It might have seemed improbable for a farmer from Puuppola in Finland (close to the home of Rally Finland in Jyvaskyla) to eventually become a four-time world rally champion, but he managed to do it. It seems even harder to believe that the same man would then go on to build a team from scratch, designing a car that was radically different from the others. But he did that, too - and won the world championship with it. Both drivers' and constructors' titles, as it happens.
