the revamped greatest of all time

[paulzinho]

OK this time i've come up with an idea...
I know its difficult but what i want you to do is list your top 5 drivers since the inauguration of the world championship in 1950.

Whilst I realise that this technically isnt all time i feel it is the best way forward. So please dont post saying how you're not going to vote in this.

Ideas for comparing talent can be measured using success, competition, machinery or any other ideas you may come up with.

The way this will work will be that i will allocate points to the drivers. 5 for 1st, 4 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd, 2 for 4th and 1 for 5th.

I hope then to compile a table at a suitable date or at intervals.

To make this worthwhile i would like as many votes as possible so all participants would be appreciated.

[Bononi]

Glad to see you around Faster... This thread raised by a palmeirense fellow, will make a lot of discussion yet.

Nice choices, specially when you put Piquet, and exclude Senna !!!

As I said before, I won't put any names, since there's no benchmark for comparisions in this field...

The right would be rating the greatests in each era they belonged...

[Liz]

1. Clark
2. Fangio
3. Prost
4. Nuvolari
5. Gilles Villeneuve

[Roy2]

Fangio (Ascari was great but taken too soon)
Senna
Clark
Prost
Schumacher (for now).

But it's hard to compare Fangio with Clark, let alone with the other three.

[badoer fan]

1. Prost
2. Senna
3. TGF
4. Fangio
5. Alonso (yes i am serious)

[DNQ]

My top five

1. Jin Clark
2. Ayrton Senna
3. Alain Prost
4. Jackie Stewert
5. Stefan Bellof (Great driver, killed at spa in 1985, driving sportscars )

Well who wouldn't be?

Now that TGF and Prost are equal on race wins and championships, it's interesting to see who rates TGF higher and who rates Prost higher. I went for TGF over Prost because TGF has achieved the same number of wins in less starts.

[Piquet]

Here we go then:

1. Schumacher (M)
2. Piquet
3. Prost
4. Senna
5. N. Lauda

Nice!

[I Ate Yoko Ono]

For what it's worth, here's mine for the melting pot:

4. Stewart
