He was also blitzed at Malaysia by Schu...1.1 seconds in quali? Says it all. The fact that Irvine was hopeless at Jaguar showed that he wasn't that good. |

Several people do, and to be honest I probably should have rated him higher as well. I'm not how many people know, but if all 16 races counted in 88, Prost not Senna would have been WDC 105 to 94. I think the main reason for Prost's low ratings is his lack of skill in the rain. |

Good points there Rob. I did know about the 88 title, and Prost was actually considered a bit of rain master in the first few years of his F1 carreer. Its all down to personal opinion i guess, and upbringing is a key factor in why i believe Prost to be higher than Senna. Lol. my dad coudltn stadn Senna, but was a big Prost fan |

Lets look at the generally accepted 'eras' in the history of the championship, ie who were the benchmark drivers at any given time: 1950-58; Fangio 1958-62; Moss 1962-68; Clark 1968-73; Stewart 1974-82; debatably Lauda, although most difficult era to judge 1983-88; Prost 1988-94; Senna 1994-2006; Schumacher There are a few overlaps, but that's how I see it, which puts Moss, Stewart, Lauda and Prost in my list. I'd also add Ascari, Brabham, Surtees, Fittipaldi, G Villeneuve and Mansell. Can't put them in any order because I didn't see them all race, and they all have different qualities that make them great. |

It’s always the difficulty when compiling your list. For drivers in the 60's and 70's I have to rely on other peoples opinions, as I never saw them race myself. That’s why I feel comfortable in the late 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 21st century, I watched em all! |
