top 5 contemporary f1 drivers,

az34 · 01-18-2012, 03:56 PM

since the last 35 years or so make your list mine is:[/list]1 senna (ayrton) 2 villeneuve(gilles) 3 mansell 4 rosberg 5 shumacher (micheal)

I presume you mean keke Rosberg. I would say rosberg and g. villeneuve are from a different era than the rest you list. but that is my opinion.
to stick with contemporary drivers... wait, do you mean of the modern era or do you mean... ok, nm, I drank way too much coffee today.
for me, surely 1 - schumacher, 2 - senna, 3 - alonso, 4 - prost, and my emotional choice 5 - alesi.

I'm a pretty big Mika Hakkinen fan. I'd put him in there somewhere.

KingOfJericho · 01-19-2012, 11:48 AM

I considered contemporary to be 90s and up. I'm 30 so I have no idea what was going on in the 70s and 80s.

Senna
Schumi
Vettel
Hamilton
Alonso

Great drivers:

1. Schumacher
2. Senna
3. Prost

Pretty good drivers:

4. Hakkinen
5. Vettel (could be a great driver - too early to tell)

Robin_NL · 01-19-2012, 02:04 PM

Prost, Piquet, Senna, Schumacher, Mansell.

Next.

Of course i meant Keke,Alonso is a hell of a driver too,but my surprise is Schumacher ahead of Senna!!! p.s, i was at the Montreal GP when Alesi won is only race.

of course you cant judge drivers you did'nt know, but 90s and up your list is interresting.

Ayrton Senna^ Brazil

Nigel Mansell^ United Kingdom

Niki Lauda^ Austria

Jackie Stewart^ United Kingdom

Nelson Piquet^ Brazil

Alain Prost^ France

Jack Brabham^ Australia

I agree, but to be honest, his lazy/sloppy face, is also his excited face while driving lol:

We'll see what happens this year! Can't wait!

i cant see Button on a top 5 list,maybe i'd miss something.

mbintx · 01-19-2012, 06:33 PM

Senna and Schumacher are locks for 1 and 2. End of discussion. After that it gets tricky.

Alonso is probably top 5 material.
Prost was a GREAT tactician; he's not top 5 on driving skill.
Villeneuve was just ballsier than the rest.
Mansell was a robot.
It's too soon for Vettel, but he'll get there soon.

Raikkonen, Button, Hamilton are not close to the top 5.
