| You don't have to win championships to be great. You have a lot of the safety in F-1 to thank Ronnie Peterson for. Affectionately nicknamed 'Super Swede' by F1 fans for his attacking driving style, along with Stirling Moss and Gilles Villeneuve, he was regarded as one of the greatest drivers never to have won the Formula One World Championship....so, he's not in bad company!

| What makes Fangio so amazing was that he started his first full season F-1 at age 38! |

today, the memory of ayrton senna still very fresh here in brazil. his sister viviane senna created a foundation to help poor childrens to study and have a better life. its a very noble act to create not a statue or a monument but something that help people in memory of a great race driver. its called ayrton senna foundation.

| Gilles Villeneuve Have to go with the Canadian on this one. No offense to any1 in here but only reason Micheal Schumacher has done so well is because there isnt any competition for them until this year by the looks of it.

| Voted "Other", since I couldn't decide between a few drivers on the list....and some that's NOT on the list. I have more respect for the old guard. Sure, todays cars a lot faster, but then, yesterdays "jockies" didn't have ANY of today luxuries and it was a LOT more up to the driver. Heck, with all the computer power in the cars today, you'll soon not need a driver....and, where's the FIGHTS of yesteryear?

 | Excluding Lewis Hamilton from this poll makes it flawed....  Nobody, I repeat nobody, else ever had a first season in F1 like his. Look: Fangio - 1st season: 2nd in Championship - 27 points Graham Hill - 1st season: Not placed in Championship - 0 points Jacky Stewart - 1st season: 3rd in Championship - 33 points Emerson Fittipaldi - 1st season: 6th in Championship - 12 points Alain Prost - 1st season: 16th in Championship - 5 points Nigel Mansell - 1st season: Not placed in Championship - 0 points Ayrton Senna - 1st season: 9th in Championship - 13 points Damon Hill - 1st season: Not placed in Championship - 0 points Michael Schumacher - 1st season: 14th in Championship - 4 points Mika Häkkinen - 1st season: 16th in Championship - 2 points Fernando Alonso - 1st season: 23rd in Championship - 0 points Lewis Hamilton - 1st season: 2nd in Championship - 109 points -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The only one that came close was Fangio who finished 3 points behind the champion, to Hamiton's 1... How can you leave him out?!? why!!???

Plus, the guy simply wasted his first place with several idiotical mistakes in the last races, and this does not make him 'great' yet. Hamilton is the fastest of the lot and will win the title this year (a deserved title) but still need to 'eat some more sandwich' before being listed among the greatest. Surely he has the potential to become one of the greatest drivers, and probably in a couple of years he will be righteously in the poll. Besides, I think that several of the names in this list should not be there because in my opinion they are or were 'average good pilots' but not champions.
