Anyway, I think is it extremely difficult to compare drivers from different eras, but to put Stirling as #1 and Schumacher out of the top ten is just not right.
My top drivers by era or decade would be:
Pre-War: Nuvolari
50's: Fangio
60's: Clark
Late 60's to early 70's: Stewart
Mid-70's: Lauda
Early 80's: Prost
Late 80's: Senna
90's to Early 00's: Schumacher
