Now I have no problem with Stirling in the Top 10, but you have a quick chat to Sir Stirling and he'll tell you the #1 driver of all time is #6 on that list.
It is just a bit of fun though.

If I didn`t know who made up this list, I would think the person probably is suffering from a bad case of retardation... oops
Schumacher 11th ?
Lewis in front of Alonso and Caracciola?
Gilles 12? (he shouldn`t be in top 20)
Lauda only 20th?
Graham Hill BEHIND Damon Hill?
Moss as nr.1?
Stupid, idiotic, retarded list. It`s only worth is the undoubted comedy effect it brings."signature room for rent"

GP Vs F1
I think Henry would know the difference between Grands Prix and Formula One. F1 began in 1950. All F1 races are Grands Prix, but not all Grands Prix were F1 races. So, to include the pre-WWII drivers in the list is technically incorrect unless he labelled his list the 100 Greatest Grand Prix drivers.
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

Terrible list. I think Mr Henry holds a torch for the "nearly" men, which would explain the ridiculously high positions for Stirling Moss (1st!!!), Gilles Villeneuve and Carlos Reutemann.
And Hamilton ahead of Mansell? Maybe after Hamilton has had more than one season, but to say that now is stupid. Mansell started in a poor car (as do most), Hamilton was given the best car in the field for his first season.Niente è vero, tutto è permesso
