Stirling Moss number one in list of top 100 F1 drivers


Stirling Moss has been named the greatest Formula One driver of all time in the new, predictably titled book, The Top 100 F1 Drivers of all time. The top four positions; Moss, Clark, Senna and Prost have a total of 133 wins between them. Writing in the book, its Author, Alan Henry, says, "Moss's versatility was astonishing, separated from the dynamic Clark by only a thin margin, but in the end it is Stirling who gets the nod; perhaps the nature of Jimmy's exclusive relationship with Lotus counts subconsciously against him."
The driver with the most race wins ever, Michael Schumacher, who won 91 times, comes 11th on the list. Henry justifies this decision by citing the German's controversial contract conditions which allowed him to dictate race strategy to team mates. Henry goes on to express enthusiasm for the career of Lewis Hamilton, hoping that one day, he'll earn a place on the list.
