I won't spoil the surprise other that to say there are some fairly counter-intuitive rankings here - by the time I had got to the #20 to #15 mark I really started to doubt the author's methodology.

Well you know you're getting it wrong when you're using maths to determine the greatest of all time. :roll:

Also notice under the Panis entry he mentions Pedro Diniz being in the top 100. :lol:

To be fair to him, he said that he's ranking drivers by their best three-year streak, so that automatically disqualifies a lot of drivers...

And I find it amusing/absolutely rubbish that Button's best three-year streak did NOT include his championship-winning year!

As soon as I saw that Hakkinen was lower than Panis I couldn't take the list seriously. The people at 16th and 19th also really surprised me
