Motorsport.com Most Popular Driver

[cynisca]

You can post your top 10 most popular drivers. Drivers from the Formula One, of all-time. Your drivers on the list get points from your first choice (10 points) till your last one (1 point).

It's very easy, on number one is your most popular driver, on number two you second most popular driver and so on...

After a month I will add all points and put the list on here.

So, I hope you will carry on.

I'll start:

01) Ayrton Senna
02) Michael Schumacher
03) Alain Prost
04) Lewis Hamilton
05) David Coulthard
06) Eddie Irvine
07) Mika Häkkinen
08) Rubens Barrichello
09) Juan-Manuel Fangio
10) Alberto Ascari

4) Rubens Barrichello - Always liked the guy.

So far most posts seem to be very oriented to current or very recent drivers.
I will not post a list but like Taz think Stewart should be there. Also Moss, Jimmy Clark and certainly Gilles Villeneuve who was revered in most of Europe, more than in Canada.

I think people get familiar with today's drivers, some popular names of older F1 such as Michael Schumacher, Mika Hakkinen, or Ayrton Senna.

I can still vividly remember some former drivers for their earcaching names although they were not best performers such as Ralph Firman, Mark Gene, Antonio Pizzonia, Heinz Harald Frenzen, and Jos 'the boss' Verstappen.

A driver coincidentally I can't forget because he ever drove for Prost Acer while at that time Acer was brand of my first mobile phone I could afford. He was Luciano Burti.

Above all, the most popular driver is still Michael...

Jean Alesi was always pretty popular in every team he drove for... An unlucky driver but very popular all the same....

Not really, Jean Alesi was not unlucky all the time, Mrs Alesi tells you that he is the lucky man.
