I disagree that comparing drivers from different eras is not valid.

The percentages tell the truth.

I disagree. If we follow this way of thinking, the greatest F1 team is "Brawn GP" They won a 100% of the world championships they entered. IMO the total of championships is not to be taken lightly and that's why I believe that if you can point one greatest driver (which is a bit ridiculous IMO) it should be Michael.

If you seek to apply it to teams then Brawn is not a new team because strictly speaking the BGP 01 would have been the 2009 Honda albeit with a different engine.

I dont look at championships as a measure because they are quirky things given that Stirling Moss has good percentages but no championship.

He was my boyhood hero as well, which is why he will always be the best for me, no matter what anyone on here says!



Well not always they don't, a good guide but not completely definitive, witness the much greater reliability of todays cars, for instance.

Apologies for going off on a tangent on this thread.....

Actually you defend my earlier point I made about era. Clark was exceptional.

And IMO 7 or 5 is better than 0 or 2. I guess that everybody has different opinions
