Grand Prix Rejects

This little idea came up on the chat. We were talking about surprising drivers we'd put in our all-time top tens. Then there was a collective thought: who would the forum rank as the all-time greatest?

Here's my attempt at it. All you need is to state your personal best Formula One drivers ever. In terms of talent, influence, pure results, whatever you choose. Rank as many as you like up to 20, as that's how many points-scoring spots I've included in my scale, which is as follows:

50 - 44 - 40 - 36 - 32 - 29 - 26 - 23 - 20 - 18 - 16 - 14 - 12 - 10 - 8 - 6 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1

The standings will be regularly updated in this post. You may now rank.

11. Robert Kubica
12. Niki Lauda
13. Stirling Moss
14. Keke Rosberg
15. Daniel Ricciardo
16. Jacky Ickx
17. Gilles Villeneuve
18. Juan Manuel Fangio
19. John Surtees
20. Jenson Button

I apologise for the lack of any big shock names in there, but all of these drivers mean something to me.

Clark as number 1 will never be beaten, the greatest qualifyer and out right racer the world has ever seen, even better than Senna in my view. Michael Schumacher was a juggernaut that inspired in whatever he drove be it WDC winning car or a pig, he can turn it into gold. Jackie Stewart is overall the most influential and probably the bravest driver of all time, campaigning for safety and hating the Nurburgring, yet winning at it by being the damn fastest thing you've ever seen.

The rest are all here for differing reasons. Button for example makes the top 20 by virtue of his skills in changing weather conditions, should a race be wet-dry I can imagine that even at peak all 20 in even cars that suit all their strengths (somehow!) Button could win so warrants inclusion for that alone even if such races are very rare.

I already changed my rankings like 50 times. I'm now forcing myself to stop changing my mind, especially seeing as it will most likely have little impact on the final rankings, but if I didn't, van der God surely would have made it eventually.

I was going to do a "proper" ranking, but I just find it impossible to rank drivers from across all eras. For all we know Prost was better than Clark (or vice versa), or Senna was better than Fangio (or vice versa), but we can never know for sure in the end. Also, as you can see from the amount of times I've edited my list, I can't trust myself to do rankings anyway

1. Ayrton Senna
2. Michael Schumacher
3. Juan Manuel Fangio
4. Alain Prost
5. Jim Clark
6. Alberto Ascari
7. Niki Lauda
8. Denny Hulme
9. Graham Hill
10. Fernando Alonso
11. Sebastian Vettel
12. John Surtees
13. Mika Hakkinen
14. Didier Pironi
15. Stirling Moss
16. Alan Jones
17. Carlos Reutemann
18. Jack Brabham
19. Jochen Rindt
20. Nelson Piquet

1. Jim Clark
2. Michael Schumacher
3. Alain Prost
4. Juan Manuel Fangio
5. Ayrton Senna
6. Jackie Stewart
7. Alberto Ascari
8. Emerson Fittipaldi
9. Nicki Lauda
10. Fernando Alonso
11. Stirling Moss
12. Jochen Ridnt
13. James Hunt
14. Jack Brabham
15. Sebastian Vettel
16. Mika Hakkinen
17. Lewis Hamilton
18. Denny Hulme
19. Bruce Mclaren
20. Heinz-Harald Frentzen

Trying to come up with some names, I already wrote a Top 34. That's a pretty hard task, though. I think it would be better to make rankings for each decade or such.

1. Juan-Manuel Fangio
2. Jim Clark
3. Jackie Stewart
4. Stirling Moss
5. Alain Prost
6. Niki Lauda
7. Michael Schumacher
8. Ayrton Senna
9. Fernando Alonso
10. Sebastian Vettel
11. Alberto Ascari
12. Jack Brabham
13. Emerson Fittipaldi
14. Nelson Piquet, Sr
15. Graham Hill
16. Nigel Mansell
17. Mario Andretti
18. Lewis Hamilton
19. Mika Hakkinen
20. Ronnie Peterson

Couple of caveats:
1. Senna and Schumacher should be top 5 for raw talent, but Suzuka 1990 and Jerez 1997...
2. My "hang on, surely these guys should be in the top 20" list is probably another 20 drivers
3. I am certain I am not doing enough justice to drivers before the mid-60's or between about 1995-2005

EDIT - Thought I had better make it absolutely clear I was talking about Nelson Piquet Sr.

If we of course accept that HWNSNBM is a given, than the list is rather short

1.) Tazio Nuvolari


The End.

1.Mario Andretti
2.Alberto Ascari
3.Jim Clark
4.Michael Schumacher
5.Juan-Manuel Fangio
6.Gilles Villeneuve
7.Alain Prost
8.Sebastian Vettel
9.Ayrton Senna
10.Jack Brabham
11.Stirling Moss
12.Emerson Fittipaldi
13.Graham Hill
14.Jackie Stewart
15.Niki Lauda
16.Ronnie Peterson
17.Fernando Alonso
18.Mika Hakkinen
19.John Surtees
20.Nigel Mansell

Well, it's about Formula One racing and there weren't any "Formula 1" regulations before WWII. If we speak about Grand Prix racing, though, Nuvolari comes undoubtedly first.

1) Jim Clark
2) Juan Manuel Fangio
3) Michael Schumacher
4) Jackie Stewart
5) Alain Prost
6) Ayrton Senna
7) Nigel Mansell
8) Graham Hill
9) Niki Lauda
10) Jochen Rindt
11) Gilles Villeneuve
12) Elio de Angelis
13) Nelson Piquet Sr.
14) James Hunt
15) Sebastian Vettel
16) Fernando Alonso
17) Damon Hill
18) Riccardo Patrese
19) Stefan Bellof
20) Jean Alesi

Disclaimer: I actually only didn't rank Ascari because I wouldn't know where to place him (really high, tho). Just count him as a "Position 0".
I'll probably alter it tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and so on...that's a hard task.

He did race in post-war Grand Prix events though, such as the 1948 French Grand Prix, which was run under the new F1 regulations. So technically that makes him a Formula One driver

Oh, right! It's unbelievable how many things I'm learning here!
Well, Tazio being a Formula One driver could change things...

So, lets look at this in more detail....

22 people technically voted (shame on the rest of you), however 2 only voted for a single person so their votes are being discarded. One voted for people that are all time rejects but not all time drivers but still I will count the votes.

The points system should be more linear so I have gone for a simple 20 points for peoples Number 1 driver down to 1 point for the 20th driver.

However as this is all time driver ranking, it should reflect this, so only drivers that got 2 or more point rankings will be counted.

For fun, I am also going to add Dr Bells statistical analysis of drivers (https://goo.gl/VtbVuD), Autosports greatest F1 drivers as ranked by F1 Drivers (http://goo.gl/62LQwQ) and F1 Metrics greatest F1 driver (https://goo.gl/GvfZ1g)
