Ahhh...another BIGGG mistake:

Where are alesi, fisichella, frentzen, irvine, barrichello, etc in this list?

Alesi was 42nd
Irvine joint 76th
Cany see Fisi , frentzen or barichelo in there
There you go again, no Barrichello yet Button at 30th

Hold on, aren't you saying that RB should be higher than JB, are you?

- I agree with you when you say that drivers voted based on what they saw...
That's why we have some gaffes in this list.
For example, I'm pretty sure that plenty of people from this forum have more knowledge about F1 than Jaime Alguersuari...

Well if Button is ranked 30th Im saying RB should make an appearance. Basrd on both their whole carreers they're similar. Not one 30th and one lower that 76th(which is where the list stopped)

Mansell 11th? I'd rate Hakkinen (and a few others) over him.

Mansell could easily have been a triple world champ if fate hadn't swung away from him, and he was up against so many other good drivers. An absolute hero. Hakkinen struggled to beat Eddie Irvine! I think he's the overrated one. The guy is a legend in my eyes, but still overrated.

Mika did have a few reliability issues in 1999 though.

But again Mansell did in 86, and 87 both seasons he would of won if the car didn't have issues.

so i half agree with you there, difficult to compare though.

I agree entirely with that line up. although D Hill isn't even in the top 40!!!!!!! mental.....

Difficult to compare indeed - to explain my comment, i remember Mika dropping it a few times that season too, and plus... Eddie Irvine.

Schumacher is really the best, with Senna second.

The records achieved support your opinion no matter what anyone say's.

As with AS it's got a lot to do with his mythical status due to his death in my opinion.

Very very true. In all actuality Michael and Ayrton were more alike than most people want to believe, the only seperation and bias between them is what is brought on by what team someone supports.

As far as voting for who I think is/was the best driver in F1 I cannot choose just one. Yah I have only been following/watching F1 since '79 yet I have witnessed so much and seen so much potential amongst drivers who are no longer "in the game" for whatever reason but my personal favorites are Schumacher and Senna.

But records clearly dont tell the whole story. Schmacher wouldnt have those titles if Senna lived, Senna would have them

[vaptin]

Hard to say that,

Of course records don't tell you everything, which brings us around to what normally comes up around here in these conversations (becuase stuff round here is excellent) is that you can't compare drivers from different eras.

No he wouldn't. He was 34 years old and on a downhill slope when he crashed.

WRONG

1. Hill was the same age as Senna and he would of won in 94, if it wasn't for a cheating german and Senna was a million times better than Hill.

2. Senna would of Won in 94,96 and 97 possibly even 95.

He was the greatest F1 driver to have ever lived enough said.

I would hardly call 3/3 poles and leading when he crashed a downward spiral, but whatever.

I wouldn't either, so I didn't

oh f*** off DD either discuss the point or say nothing don't laugh at me because I disagree its bloody pathetic. I think your post saying he was on a down hill slope is disgusting.

downhill slope when he crashed.

do they not mean the same thing?
