The greatest f1 podium of all time...
Spain, 1993. Prost, Senna and Schumacher were the 3 drivers to take the podium that day - arguably the best 3 drivers of all time... It's either this or the 1992 German grand prix, where the podium was Mansell, Senna and Schumacher (i'd go for that one myself
).

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

Prost was better than our Nige.

Mansell was more exciting to watch than Prost and was a terrific racer, nobody can ever take that away from him. Prost, however, whilst driving without too much drama, was very gifted and a better all-round racing driver.
I'm not really sure what's the best podium in Formula 1 history. Out of the drivers I've seen in my time watching the sport, it would have to be scotty's first selection: Senna, Prost, Schumacher/Hakkinen. However, what about other great drivers who raced together? Were Fangio, Ascari and Moss, or Clark, Stewart and Hill ever on the same podium together? Whilst I think Senna, Prost and Schumacher could claim to be the strongest ever line-up, those other guys can't be too far behind.

Ayrton Senna: WDC 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991
McLaren: WCC 1974, 1984, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1998, 1999, 2007
McLaren: WDC 1974, 1976, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1998, 1999, 2008

Re: The greatest f1 podium of all time...
This maybe not the greatest podium in terms of how good the drivers were... but how about the Nurbergring 1999 =
1st - Herbert
2nd - Trulli
3rd - Barrichello
Talk about mixed up.

Re: The greatest f1 podium of all time...
On that theme, I thought the podium for Canada 2007 was quite fitting;
1st Hamilton - A well deserved first win after being on the pace all weekend, keeping a cool calm head to survive the multiple safety car periods that can throw strategy out of the window.
2nd Heidfeld - Continuing his fine form from late 2006 onwards and showing that BMW had become a force to reckon with, outpacing even the Ferrari's that weekend. Also drove a clean race to pick up BMW's first podium of the season.
3rd Wurz - A perfect way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his debut at this very same track, and also a reward for a plucky strategy and being able to preserve his soft tyres for over half the race. 2007 signified Williams making a comeback after the dismal 2006 and after the first safety car period wrecked Rosberg's race, Wurz was there to pick up the pieces.

Re: The greatest f1 podium of all time...
Belgium 1998
1st - Hill
2nd - R.Schumacher
3rd - Alesi
One of the most action packed grand prix's of the modern era and a very unlikely podium at the end.

Best of all, not just a Jordan first victory, but a 1-2 as well.

Re: The greatest f1 podium of all time...
what about the latest race of the year Monza 2008
1.S.Vettel
2.H.Kovaleinen
3.R.Kubica
each of these drivers have claimed their 1st victory in 2008 and in a couple of years i think these 3 will be fighting for the world championship.

One great podium was the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix of 2010 - all three of the most recent world champions - Seb, Jenson and Lewis.

Re: The greatest f1 podium of all time...
The three best drivers of all time were/are Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, and Nigel Mansell. Take out Schumacher, and put Prost and Mansell on the same podium.

Re: The greatest f1 podium of all time...
I found one in contention. Netherlands 1966 - Jack Brabham, Graham Hill, Jim Clark. However I'm looking for one with Jackie Stewart instead of Hill.
I sadly couldn't find one with Fangio, Moss, and Ascari. That would've been the winner.
