The other driver that always impressed me was Fittipaldi. I was driving at Snetterton the day he had his first test in the Jim Russell F3 and he was a revelation, jaw-dropingly quick. I think he could have gone on to far greater things in F1 had he not made a few bad choices for what he thought were the right reasons.
I was also lucky enough to see Clark and would fully endorse your comments.

The awe Clark's peers held him in I think speaks for itself.

Jack Brabham must certainly have a shot at the best ever, based on all round ability!
