One issue I have over the Fangio, Clark etc... situation, and even more so over the pre-war combatants, is that they raced in era where motorsport was a plaything for extraordinarily rich individuals. Only really in the 1970s and beyond did we start to get people in Formula One who scaled a ladder of sorts earning their stripes along the way... and the fact that people like Schumacher, Vettel, Hamilton, Kubica et al originated from more humble beginnings speaks volumes more about their talent and achievement.
