Who are your top ten F1 drivers?

Please list your top ten and why (briefly). Top ten's from previous years also welcome. I reckon we could all have some shockingly different views here!

My list is always down to ability shown in A car and how hard trying and racing, rather than actual resultS. For these reasons, although i'm not gonna list mine yet, the current champ isn't my number one...

Who's gonna be the first to stick their head on the block??!

Excellent Smokey!

Pardon my ignorance but i'm assuming TGF is Schumi? I'm not exactly sure what it stands for but i think i get the picture!

Yep Monster is number 1 no question, the quickest and most talented
2/ Raikkonen - quick and hard headed
3/ Webber - similar to above without a top car
4/ Alonso - just a natural
5/ Schuey - quick but suspect when has to 'battle'
6/ Trulli - think he's about to show us what really can do
7/ Fisichella - consistently quick
8/ Massa - We ain't seen nothing yet!
9/ Button - Needs a good car and quick
10/ Barrichello or Da Matta - smooth but fast

at least you didn't make a new thread about it, TGF stands for 'that German fellow', 'the god father' or that German F ker' guess which i prefer

a good list, i forgot Massa, im not sure he would've made into the top 10 anyway but i think he will be a talent in the future!

How about:
TGF - simply the most professional
Alonso - most natural
Kimi - coolest
Montoya - I don't like him but quick
Shumi Lite - on his days the quickest
Webber - hardworking
De Matta - a pleasent surprise
Wurz (don't be surprised) - always thought he is fast
Fisichella - fast, lacks that little something
JV (I know, I know) - fast

BootsOntheSide should be qualifying in the top 3 on the gridBootsOntheSide should be qualifying in the top 3 on the gridBootsOntheSide should be qualifying in the top 3 on the gridBootsOntheSide should be qualifying in the top 3 on the grid
Roughly in order:

Michael - has proven himself time and again, 2003 was perhaps his greatest title
Montoya - A real fighter, prone to the odd mistake but still gets great results and entertains the fans
Raikkonen - Amazingly steady for such a young driver, and did miraculous things with the car at times.
Alonso - Naturally gifted and learning all the time
Button - Improved immeasurably since 2001, looks like a future champion
Rubens - Put in one of the best single drives of 2003, awesome in damp conditions, but often in TGF's shadow
Ralf - Great at times but not fast enough consistantly
Webber - Potential remains largely unfulfilled
Fisichella - I wish he could get a top drive
DC - His day may be passing but he's still solid and occasionally quick.

Honourary mentions to the ever-enigmatic Trulli, Sato and Massa if they're more mature now, and the impressive Wilson and Da Matta. Everyone else (except maybe Klien - judgment reserved) could be replaced with equally capable drivers from elsewhere

1-Jacques villeneuve for his determination
2-Michael Schumacher for his win at any cost attitude
3-JPM because he wont take s**t from anybody
4-Alonso he's quick
5-kimi

i could only think of 5 drivers that i rate the others are no where near this lot.

5) Giancarlo Fisichella - underrated, needs a top ride
6) Mark Webber - needs a teammate to escalate his game
7) Crisitano da Matta - needs track time, much potential
8) Jarno Trulli
9) David Coulthard

Hmmm this TGF fellow is featuring far more at the top of your lists than i anticipated!

How are you rating him? Surely not because he's won 6 titles in a team built around him and no inner team competition? or not because he always seems to come off second best when he actually has to race someone else, eg, Monster, Raikkonen, Alonso, even Coulthard?

I think he is starting to get found out!

Good old red! I like it, only basing your choice on actual achievement. So you are saying if Micheal hadn't won he wouldn't be your top driver?

That he was second best? Anyway, what's the point of actually have a championship, if the measure of greatness is a poll of your favorite drivers...
