Formula one

who is the best formula one driver ever?
I think Ayrton Senna is the greatest

Statistically Michael Schumacher won a higher percentage of races though Senna got a higher percentage of pole positions. Many people like Senna better because they enjoyed his racing style more, nostalgia, or the fact that he died racing but statistically Michael Schumacher is the best F1 driver of all time in nearly any objective measure.

Lewis Hamilton sure kicked butt this weekend in Silverstone. I think Hamilton has the potential to surpass Schumacher.

schumacher is a good driver, but he is a bad sportman, he has on 3 occasion take out his rivals when he was unable to win.

The first F1 race I watched was the 1997 European Gran Prix where Schumacher trying to win the championship rammed Jacques Villeneuve. I didn't think much of the Schumacher at the time; I had been watching CART for a while and understood that this sort of driving was more appropriate for NASCAR than for open wheeled racing. Over the years Schumacher did win me over. Schumacher was no doubt the most ruthless driver in F1 but he was also the most talented.
