Let's settle this
once and for all...
Who's the greatest driver ever to grace F1? Issues don't come thornier than this, and judging by the conversations in the F1 Racing office, suggestions can range from the genuinely credible (Moss), to the controversial (Hamilton), to the, er, debatable (Jacques Villeneuve, anyone?).
But it doesn't matter what we think. The voting process for this has all been down to you, the people who buy this magazine every month and whose knowledge of the sport is spot-on.
I'm extremely proud to say you've voted in your thousands to finally put this matter to rest, and the at-times-astounding results are counted down in one colossal treat over the next 26 pages.
Before that, a bit about the voting... All the members of F1 Racing's vast 'Reader Panel' were asked to nominate their top eight drivers since 1950 in order of greatness, with the Number One receiving 10 points, the Number Two eight points, and so on - just like the current F1 points scoring system. We then added them up, had them double-checked and triple-checked and finally arrived at the list you're about to read.
So, put your feet up, pour your tipple of choice and immerse yourself in the countdown of your 100 Greatest Drivers Ever. It's comprehensive, controversial and, dare we say, a cracking read.
