I'm somewhat ancient.
Jimmy Clark-The one against whom all others are measured, the absolute peerless performer when I first followed F1
Peterson-flair, bravery, style and a Swede
Andretti- The greatest American racer ever
Mika Hakkinen-charming and blessed with a subtle sense of humour, blindingly fast in a racecar
Damon Hill-His own man, drew upon deep resources after Senna's death, was brave, honest and tenacious and someone who seized the opportunity that fell in his lap and proved the doubters wrong.
Reutemann, Brambilla, Revson, Donahue, De Angelis, Jarier,
Frentzen, Hailwood, Reggazoni, Ickx, Panis, Gurney and Heidfeld all are close to the top for me.
