Rubens Barrichello has raced in more F1 races than anyone. That makes him the greatest :p

Ah, but Rubens forgot that he needed to win more of them.

All his greater number of races makes him is the man who lost most GP's.

He took that record from...now, who was it?...oh, yes, your mate.

So he's the greatest in two categories, just like Michael :D

Is Ryan Giggs the greatest player in the history of English football? I'd say that was up-for-debate, despite him having won more than anyone else.

Two categories that are meaningless, much like your post.

He has won more than anybody else, and the object of the game is to win.

When the object of the sport is anything other than winning, you may have a point.

Until then, you don't.

That is a fact.

Not a stinking thing I am afraid. But I was really trying to suss out this "dictionary definition" of greatness. Curious as to what dictionary and/or context. Like I said if it was limited only to on track performance, then without a doubt MS fills the bill. But if the definition extends beyond that scope, well we gotta talk my friend.

Gary

P.S. Happy holidays tamburello!

Those without sins should cast the first stone!, or something along those lines (I only heard it in the Christmas movies, so please forgive me if it's wrong).

Meaning that there weren't many saints between those F1 WDCs.

Depends about which Ferrari we talk.
The Ferrari of Todt, Brawn, Byrne were a great family to MS and he stayed loyal to them.

I believe that the fans, the mechanics and engineers love MS no matter what LdM of Pietro might say.

I for one I'm attracted by Ferrari as a manufacturer of automotive art and don't give a damn about who's at the helm as long as the spirit lives on.

Everything is open to interpretation, especially around here. That's why I go by the numbers, no interpretation, no subjectivity, cold numbers.
