Where is Jim Clark ? This list without Clark is simply a bad list. Clark to many drivers was the greatest of them all. He raced in all categories. The only driver to win the F1 championship and Indy500 in the same year. He is still the record holder for most grand slams . Thats pole position, leading every lap , Fastest lap and race win. He has done it 8 times in 72 races. To put it in context Max has done it 3 times in 176 races. Lewis 6 times in 323 races. Schumacher 5 time sin 306 races. Without Clark this list is a travesty.

[@Guido_Jensen]

A survey conducted by British Auto Esporte with 217 Formula 1 drivers and ex-drivers elected Ayrton Senna as the best driver to ever exist in F1. In a survey conducted by the German newspaper "Bild am Sonntag" with 20 active drivers, 12 chose the Brazilian as the best. There are numerous surveys asking top professionals, including drivers like Michael Schumacher, Alonso, Hamilton, Fangio, where they clearly say that Ayrton Senna was the best in the world. The biggest rival of Ayrton Senna in F1 was named Jean-Marie Balestre and the FIA cheated constantly to benefit only European drivers, especially his compatriot Alain Prost who tried to disconnect Ayrton Senna from F1 in 1990. The greatest drivers in the world choose Ayrton Senna , the top professionals in motorsport choose Senna, who am I to disagree?

Active drivers, choose Senna because he only died in '94. Fangio was acknowledged the best by his contemporaries and many others including Senna.

Tbh in the early 2010 - i thought there would never be something like schumacher again - Some1 thats doing outstanding things, winning in inferior cars, doing some rain magic and so on... And then Verstappen hit the stage and... i dont know... hes just getting better and better... in my book he was better than hamilton in 2020 already... now hes above all champions since schumacher. He needs to prove some teambuilding capabilities to top schumacher but everything else is done...

In my opinion Schumacher is the greatest of all time he could have easily made certain he stayed in the best team year after year to win far more championship than 7 but he decided to sacrifice 5 years of his peak performance to drag Ferrari up to the top where he felt they belonged. Lewis Hamilton had only raced with Mercedes power and never stepped out of his comfort zone played it safe and dropped his head many times when he has been behind his rival .

[@alexalexan-d6j]

Schumacher left Benetton because the team was going downwards and he didn't have a place in neither Williams nor McLaren. Then he built Ferrari around himself and enjoyed five years in one of the most dominant cars of all time from 2000 to 2004 thanks to Ross Brawn and with the status of number 1 driver and a number 2 that was told to open up for him every time he came around. When Schumacher arrived in F1 all the greatest drivers of the previous generation were retiring or (in the case of Senna) dying. He did one race with a middle-of-the-field car and already moved to a competitive team. Compare that to Senna, who joined F1 in its most competitive era, with lots of world champions and prospective world champions already on the grid and occupying all the good seats. He had to spent 4 years in uncompetitive cars despite showing enormous talent and when he finally moved to McLaren, he had to share it in equal status with no less than Alain Prost, who was more experienced and was one of the greatest of all time. And when Prost left McLaren and Senna had the car all for himself (wit Berger almost as a number 2), the team coincidentally lost its edge. Senna still managed to win 1990 and 1991. But in 1992-93, McLaren became uncompetitive again. In all all, Senna had a much harder environment to compete against. His circumstances were far more difficult than Schumacher's. And he would still have most certainly won 1994, 1995 and 1996 with Williams had he not died, which means Schumacher would be down to 5 titles and Senna up to 6.

[@mikecochrane803]

[@RAYGAMESHISTORY-fw4ss]

These days, drivers retire their cars when they see a lack of performance, Senna was never told to retire the car, because they knew he would refuse, the only time Ron Dennis asked him to slow down, he was so upset that he ended up crashing in Monaco. There is one famous pole in Monaco by in, McLaren was not competitive, and in qualifying Senna was struggling when the car was with fuel for a few laps, and Ron Dennis told him:" Come in, you don't have enough fuel for another lap." Radios not being as good as they are these days, and English not being his first language, he understood:" Go for it, you have enough fuel for only one more lap." He went for it, got the pole, and ran out of gas at the finish line. Never give up!

Name me one driver that has never been outdriven by a teammate at the end of their run at a team. Alonso outdrove 9 racers, including Massa and Raikkonen. And he drew with three racers, two other world champions Button and Hamilton before he left McLaren twice. And Ocon who he beat in his first season back in F1 and then got beaten because of reliability. Alonso either settled the score or passed it. No other driver can say the same. 9-3-0 and now 10-3-0 with Stroll.

[@brendanbrown3100]

Loads - Fangio, Clark, Stewart, Prost. Can’t rate Alonso above these as he could only match a rookie Hamilton.

[@cadet15]

@@brendanbrown3100 the guy is almost 42 beating Lewis in equal engines. The biggest threat to Verstappen, always the biggest threat with a drivable car. Horner said, Button said, etc. Beat champions by large margins like what he’s doing right now with Stroll. Clark also died with 2 world championships. Fernando is the modern day Clark.

[@brendanbrown3100]

@@cadet15 sorry but Clark is on another level. He destroyed every teammate. Alonzo couldn’t beat a rookie - although it was one of the best rookie performances ever. Fangio, Clark and Stewart for me are the immortals. Don’t get me wrong - Alonso is the best of his generation.

[@cadet15]

@@brendanbrown3100 okay one, McLaren cost both their drivers a championships. Between Spygate and awful management, they put the team in a position where they couldn’t win because they shouldn’t. Alonso was managed unfairly and Hamilton went off at China. And that same rookie who is a 7 timer who has only just started to drive inferior machinery 2022 and he got beat by the new guy at his team. This same rookie is now complaining that dominance is a bad thing every weekend in the media like he’s gonna cry. He keeps calling Alonso old. That rookie is a stain on racing. Think about it. 8 teams. He beat Raikkonen like how he’s beating Stroll. Worst reliablity rate on the field , like how Jim and Rindt had and it ultimately cost them their lives. In a 4th place car. he was the biggest threat to first consecutive seasons. In an era where dominance wasn’t a thing and it was only you and the machinery, it was easy to show that you’re the best. And it was dumb of someone to deny it. This era, people like Seb and Hamilton were one trick ponies. Lost without the best car. Alonso won on pure pace. Seb won by track position for half of his championships. I get it, Jim Clark is another level. But so is Fernando. Someone who has never lost to a teammate, and never lost to a teammate in a championship fight, and never lost in a championship when it was possible. Fernando Alonso didnt come from a racing family or even a rich one. He never had the interest to race and never asked to. His first kart was that of his sister’s that she didn’t want. He started at 3 years old. From that point on, to now, a guy that’s almost 42 is still racing and in form. Spain’s only F1 champion was only a kid who knew how to race before knowing that he wanted to. And Dutch’s only F1 champion is the complete mirror of him. You have to acknowledge that if Alonso starts winning, and starts or keeps winning championships 3 years from now, he will eventually pass Fangio in being the oldest F1 champion. Those guys embraced racing for what it truly was. They either dug deep or tried with a different team. They stuck it out and Fernando always has done that. People criticize him for his decisions but at times he was the most serious in the field. Fangio switched many times, and so did Jackie. We are watching a reincarnate of a racer from the 50s and 60s. From when he drove laps around in the Ferrari bathtub at Spain to then win the race, it just shows us “what if?” What if you placed a first generation f1 driver, in todays era. We don’t have to wonder. It’s Fernando.
