Brazilian: Ayrton Senna

[Simple Jack]

Can I use autosport forum logic?

Lewis Hamilton, Luciano Hamiltonia, Ludvig Hamiltaung, Lewwy Hammo, Lewisio dos Hamilton and Louis 'Amilton.

They also are equally the best qualifiers, best drivers in the wet, best overtakers, best tyre conservers and Monaco masters.

British: torn between Jim Clark and Sir Jackie Stewart.

French: who else but Prost?

Brazillian: Senna, no contest.

Australian: Sir Jack Brabham, although honourable mention to Alan Jones.

German: has to be Schmacher.

Italian: Ascari.

Hope we can add Webber & Ricciardo to the best Australian drivers in 10 years time

Hope Lewis Hamilton is not on the best British drivers in 10 years time

He will be according to the british fans, he can do no wrong...
Every other nationality however will know where he really sits in the pecking order..

Hey, I'm British, and Hamilton will have to win at least 2 more titles to be in the top ten.

Argentinian? Fangio of course. Carlos Reutemann. And Gaston Mazzacane for not letting hakkinen past at Indy.

 

[darth_timon]

Part of me would love to say Mansell should be one of the top British drivers- and to his credit, he did win what? 31 races? Not bad considering a lot of people write him off as a journeyman. He was also desperately unlucky not to win the title in 1986 as well.

But, when I weigh Mansell up against the Graham Hills, Jim Clarks, James Hunts and Jackie Stewarts... well, he has tough competition.

And yet some people dare to try and place manchild Hamilton with this group.

It beggars belief.

Hamilton is a good driver, but he needs to temper raw talent with maturity.

M Schumacher had/has the same problems through his hey day. Worked out ok for him.

For best French driver other then Prost for me is Jacques Laffite.

There have been quite a few good French ones. Arnoux and Tambay.
Pironi who was unlucky, And Jabouile (sp)
