The GOAT - Round Three - Hill.G vs Senna
The first match-up in Round Three sees Hill.G vs Senna.
Hill.G was victorious 8-6 in the second round, whilst Senna took a 13-0 victory. So who do you vote for as the greater driver? Graham Hill Hill’s career was lengthy, continuing out to the age of 45, and his results in later years were understandably not as strong. Among other teammates he faced for multiple counting races in equal equipment before the age of 40 were Tony Brooks and Richie Ginther. Against Tony Brooks, he scored 1-1 in counting races and 6-2 in qualifying. Against Richie Ginther, he was dominant, scoring 15-3 in counting races and 28-1 in qualifying. Ayrton Senna Ayrton Senna is the driver who most often sits #1 in both fan and expert rankings of the greatest F1 drivers. Cynics attribute this to his tragic death at the height of his powers in 1994. He was arguably the greatest qualifier of all time and certainly one of the finest wet weather drivers. In total, 14.7% of races in F1 history have had wet conditions, but 14 of Senna’s 41 wins (34%) came in wet conditions. Yet, as brilliant as Senna was in certain key areas, there were admittedly gaps in his skillset; gaps that are difficult to identify for a Jackie Stewart, a Lewis Hamilton, or a Michael Schumacher. Senna’s extremely aggressive racecraft led too often into flawed decisions or unforced errors. His race pace was also revealed as beatable by Alain Prost during their time together at McLaren. |

Indeed so. I always had a soft spot for Graham, a very witty man and a pleasure to listen too. Very underrated, but it has to be Senna.

Yes.
This round is interesting. Most are very obvious. But you end up voting against some legends of the sport. |

Graham was Mr Motor Racing. Still the only one with the triple crown
However he had to work hard to get where he was, whereas Senna was a natural. So for me Senna |

I agree with Mr Griffin. Very sad to vote against Graham but Senna was just so good.

Graham the grafter - he made the best of his ability, but Senna had the big natural ability and did astounding things. So Ayrton, really.
