Country:  | The Best F1 drivers of all time
Hey everyone,
We often debate the best fighter pilots of WW2 and the best planes, so why not discuss the best drivers in the history of F1.
I think a poll is the best way to do this, but I'm afraid that I may have missed some drivers, so the mods can feel free to add drivers as they please.
My personal favourite driver of all time and probably one of the most talented I have ever seen is Gilles Villeneuve, his car control is amazing and his raw speed and courage behind the wheel have always amazed me. His racing against Rene Arnoux at the 1979 France GP is the most amazing thing I have seen. Its a pity he wasn't able to achieve much with his career. R.I.P he crashed in 1982. Enzo Ferrari said he could do things in a car that nobody since Nuvolri could do.

Country:  | This my favourite sport. My two big loves in world is ww2 aviation and F1.
Obviously Schumi, but there are really GREAT names that you did not mention....
Jochen Rindt
Alberto Ascari
Chris Amon
A fun threat would be"Most over-rated driver never to win a championship" now that will be interesting
Of today's young bunch, the one that stand head, shoulders, helmet, racing gloves, racing shoes and personality above the rest is young Sebastian Vettel, watch this space.......

I am an F1 fan, but my knowledge is fairly limited. Its hard to list every possible driver, so I listed some of the names that I am fairly familiar with.

i didnt said this poll really sux, i was ironical, because theres more options than votes, because our american fellows here are not too much interested about f1. but thats too bad for them ! f1 is the top race.
your polll is allright, and also the topic. i could disagree about one name or another but im a great fan of f1 too, and thats the funny about f1 !
regards watambe !

| It is called personal taste! I am sure I like things that you do not like! Am I going to ridicule and call you out for it?! No...
If everyone liked the same sport, life would be boring!
I hate F1 and all car racing as a matter of fact. It is boring to watch arrogant pricks drive around in circles or on a track for hours. But that is just my opinion, again I do not condemn you for your lack of interest in American Football. Why? Because it is personal taste!
