ok 1st of all u can tell that Alan Henry is British..... but Stirling Moss.... how can he b the greatest driver OF ALL TIME he NEVER won a championship!!!

and how the hell can Damon Hill b rated better than his dad Graham Hill.... thats a total joke.... Damon based his entire career on his last name...

LEWIS HAMITLON #30!!!!!! hes only had 1 season..... hwo can he even b rated in the top 100 after 1 season!!! oh i know y.... CUASE HES BRITISH!!!

#13 Chris Amon... never won a single race

Ayton Senna, was in my opinion, the greatest that has ever been!!!! If he had not died when he did, I reckon he'd be No. 1 on that list!!! :clap:

My and my friends were absolutely gutted when he died!!! :o

i was never a great Senna fan.... and the fact that ppl say Senna was a so great adn Schumi was so shit pisses me off cause Senna did alot of the "bad" things schumi did..... just the fact that he died during a race the media tends to forget the bad things he did on the track and continue to grill schumi......

you cant compare todays drivers with drivers of the past
too many things have changed

Human spirit and determination are timeless, as are guts and tenacity!!!!

Using those measures, you can compare who you like and when you like! :clap:

:thumbs_up:

u cant do that eaither..... cause unless u saw them driver or knew them persoanly ur going by what reporters have writen in the papers and stuff about that driver and how they drove and as we can all see.... Reporters cannot b trusted to tell the truth...... there more biast than the BRDC.....

wow,lol

ok, im no formula one fan thats for sure and i dont know much about it BUT

Dont worry about it being the best 100 f1 drivers list as the guy lost the plot at the beginning,lol

as i said i know little about f1 and im not a fan but i can clearly see hes top 10 is well f* up, (wrong,lol)

but also as demon said you cant really compare todays drivers with drivers of the past as too many things have changed, the technology that f1 cars have now days are much different to the f1 cars 12-20 years ago, not only has it changed and improved the cars performance it has changed the drivers aswell.

And i think Michael Schumacher being 11th is a joke, he should be 1st or in the top 3 easy, the only reason i think schumacher is not a famous as he should be is because hes not british, and thats just DAM WRONG..

:lost_the_plot: 31. Nigel Mansell , ppfffff top 18 atleast surely..

:joker: Well, if thats the case then no-one can form an opinion! :joker:

How many people know an F1 driver personally? :lol:

Its just my opinion! I watch them drive and I hear them talk to other people about their driving/racing! For 99% of F1 fans thats all they have to go on.

:thumbs_up:
