I think we did a similar thread a couple of months back.
It might be a good idea to let your new threads "breathe" a bit, rather than going trigger happy and starting so many in one go - but good to see enthusiasm on the forum

Fangio was racing at a time when his rivals were playboys with money and / or gentleman racers. He also switched between the best cars to win his titles. That's why he's not in my list.

You just highlighted the reason why the 'best' (or worst, mind you) drivers of all times statistics (shall we say polls instead?) are irrelevant and pointless. Different eras, different drivers, different cars, different everything.

Two people only so far as Sir Jack Brabham in his top ten. Interesting! The man is a triple world champion and the only person to build his own championship-winning car (with Ron Tauranac).
My top ten (FWIW): 1. Ayrton Senna 2. Alain Prost 3. Niki Lauda 4. Jackie Stewart 5. Jack Brabham 6. Jim Clark 7. Juan Manuel Fangio 8. Michael Schumacher 9. Alberto Ascari 10. Stirling Moss |

I can't judge on that. My reason is just because Michael Schumacher has won an amazing 7 titles who's to say he was any beter that Fangio who won 5 because they were completly different times and also if Senna didn't have that fatal axident in 1994 he may of gone on to win 7.
