Who's Your Top 10 F1 Drivers Of All Time?

Mercedes, F1, AGP. (C)

    We are in the midst of Formula One history being made and unprecedented dominance. Mercedes have now compiled 7 Constructor's Championships on the trot. Their star driver, Lewis Hamilton has now accumulated 7 Driver's Championships equalling the great Michael Schumacher and in the process become F1's most winningest driver which currently sits on 95 victories. Now it's been announced that he is set to be honoured with a knighthood. Is the Mercedes/ Hamilton juggernaut to be stopped?
    With the New Year commencing and another F1 season beckoning, we found ourselves in a moment of reflection. Who are the greatest F1 drivers of all time? Afterall, F1's inception dates back to 1950. Many a F1 pundit much more learned than us has stated that it's nigh on impossible to compare eras in Grand Prix racing considering differences in machinery, type of circuits raced and number of GP's contested each season and so on. However, we think otherwise.
    When assembling our top 10 greatest F1 drivers list, some drivers simply make the list through sheer weight of numbers. Number of wins, number of championships for instance. We also considered their winning percentage against number of GP's entered which does stand the test of time. Lastly, we took into account their ability to develop their car and extract the maximum performance. 
    So here is our list of top 10 F1 drivers of all time in no particular order....
    - Lewis Hamilton.
    - Michael Schumacher.
    - Juan Manuel Fangio.
    - Ayrton Senna.
    - Jim Clark.
    - Jackie Stewart.
    - Niki Lauda.
    - Alain Prost.
    - Fernando Alonso.
    - Jack Brabham.
    It would be remiss of us not to mention a few drivers who just missed out on our list. Alberto Ascari, Stirling Moss, Nelson Piquet, Graham Hill, Mario Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi, Ronnie Petersen and Sebastian Vettel.
    There you have it. Predictable? Possibly. Controversial? Maybe. Debatable? Definitely. Let us know what you think by leaving a comment.
​    May you all have a wonderful New Year and we'll be back as soon as possible. Cheers....
