It’s crazy to think about how much senna could have achieved had he not passed away, he could have been greater than all before him. And after him..
Maybe, but he still wouldn’t be as great as Fernando.

@@cadet15😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@cadet15Senna daria 1 volta na chuva no Fernando
@@dobermanproductions8184 Aston Martin had problems during the year, both Fernando and the team fell back. But he has the same amount of podiums that Perez in the RB has which is 8. Mercedes fixed their car, and were decent, with Hamilton looking competitive while AM were trying for just points. Hamilton wlth more points has only been on the podium the same number of times as Norris has with is 6.
With the McLaren finding itself right before summer break. What does that tell you?
If we analyze the emotion that each of these drivers caused us, Senna is light years ahead of the rest... For me, that's what counts...
Senna will always be the greatest of all time 🏆
Jim Clark belongs on this list period!
If Clark is in the list, somebody must be out. Who would be replaced with Clark then?
Any one apart from Senna
@@razor_ramon_Jim Clark should be higher than Lauda, Vettel, Alonso, Stewart and Moss. Not only should he be in the top 10 he should be in the top 5.
If you are comparing pure achievements then yes. But Fangio and Clark just raced against farmers and playboys, they cannot be ranked higher than Alonso, Schumacher, Senna, Hamilton, Lauda, Prost, maybe even Vettel
Not true about Clark. Graham Hill, John Surtees, Jack Brabham, Jackie Stewart and Dan Gurney were all greats - and Clark’s direct rivals.
Ayrton Senna without doubt
A survey conducted by British Auto Esporte with 217 Formula 1 drivers and ex-drivers elected Ayrton Senna as the best driver to ever exist in F1. In a survey conducted by the German newspaper "Bild am Sonntag" with 20 active drivers, 12 chose the Brazilian as the best. There are numerous surveys asking top professionals, including drivers like Michael Schumacher, Alonso, Hamilton, Fangio, where they clearly say that Ayrton Senna was the best in the world. The biggest rival of Ayrton Senna in F1 was named Jean-Marie Balestre and the FIA cheated constantly to benefit only European drivers, especially his compatriot Alain Prost who tried to disconnect Ayrton Senna from F1 in 1990. The greatest drivers in the world choose Ayrton Senna , the top professionals in motorsport choose Senna, who am I to disagree?
Active drivers, choose Senna because he only died in '94. Fangio was acknowledged the best by his contemporaries and many others including Senna.
@@johnhill7058Jackie Stewart said it was Fangio and Clark. That's good enough for me.
@@johnhill7058cuz they know he would have won more races and titles if he did not die early. Estimated could be 2, 3, or even 4 more titles, so becoming the 1st 7x champ instead of Schumacher.
@@johnhill7058 thats the dumbest comment ive ever seen in 40 years in F1 groups.
Ayrton Senna is the greatest in history !!
I think so Mclaren Senna is named after him to give him tribute...
@@dakshmandavkar6041yes i just found that out recently and i.m so glad mclaren did that cuz senna was such a legend
So is Alaon Prost
Ayrton senna is the only one who was champion with a class c car. That proves he is the best driver of all time.
Max
Where is Jim Clark ? This list without Clark is simply a bad list. Clark to many drivers was the greatest of them all. He raced in all categories. The only driver to win the F1 championship and Indy500 in the same year. He is still the record holder for most grand slams . Thats pole position, leading every lap , Fastest lap and race win. He has done it 8 times in 72 races. To put it in context Max has done it 3 times in 176 races. Lewis 6 times in 323 races. Schumacher 5 time sin 306 races. Without Clark this list is a travesty.
Agreed, Clark is literally the GOAT.
If Clark is in the list, somebody must be out. Who would be replaced with Clark then?
@@razor_ramon_ Vettel or Alonso. They arent in the same league. Clark would be in the top three.
Calm down, its basically a talking Wikipedia article.
@@razor_ramon_obviously those lower in the list. Moss never won a title - although he was a great driver. Stewart always ranked Jimmy above himself - and Jackie was a great driver. I would rank Jim Clark right up in the top 5 with Ayrton, Lewis, Alain and Michael. Definitely above Niki, Seb and Fernando.
Senna
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER SENNA. INCOMPARABLE.
Ότι καλύτερο είδαμε στον παγκόσμιο αθλητισμό και ένας υπέροχος Ανθρωπος!Ayrton Senna da silva !νιώθω ευλογημένος που έζησα την εποχή του και τον είδα να τρέχει εδώ στην Γαλλία!το είδωλο φυλαχτό παγκοσμίως!Ayrton Senna da silva δεν έχεις πεθάνει, είσαι απλά ένα γύρο μπροστά από όλους!!
You put Hamilton over Schumacher, are you insane ?
You're insane thinking Schumacher was better than Lewis. Even Prost was better than the german
1 Senna, 2 Schumacher, 3 Hamilton, 4 Fangio, 5 Prost, 6 Lauda,7 Piquet, 8 Jack Stewart,9 Mansell,10 Alonso
Ayrton Senna drove F1 cars....Hamilton and Verstappen drives big computers on wheels
Me faz lembrar de quando o Senna venceu a corrida com apenas a 6ª marcha…
No way Senna not being 1st, no way.
Are u retarded??
He isn’t. Senna is a racer, but not the best.
@@cadet15 the best, by far.
@@WolfgangDF Alonso’s never been outdriven in his years at different teams , either he left the teams with the upper edge or he left with a level score 1-1. But losing to a teammate? That’s something Alonso statistically has never done.
Senna is very overrated.
Ayrton Senna 1🐐
during Schumacher's time the no of countries where F1 races were held were in lesser numbers & total no of races in a year far lesser than what it was during Schumacher's time
Senna and Mansel will always be my favorite rivals titans of the sport f1 was awesome to watch back then
I started watching F1 in the 80s due to Senna. His battles with Prost was legendary and IMO elevated his status as the best ever.
5000th view!😊
Jim Clark 🏆
Max is coming🦁
For me it's strange that Senna who won championship 3 times has higher rank in this video that Schumacher and Hamilton who won 7 times. Also it's strange to see Alonso here with his 2 championships won and not to see brazilian Nelson Piquet who made it 3 times. And as usual Senna is mentioned as brazilian wizard but everybody forgot that Piquet was also brazilian and won the same amount of championships. You could also include Verstappen here. He could get his 4th championship this year and he is really great.
All I say that Mazespin should have been number 1
Ever heard of Jim Clark?
Agreed. Both Senna and Fangio regarded him as the best.
And in multiple race classes....(edit) simultaneously
Lewis above Schumi is mental.
Definitely made the right choice of naming my son Ayrton. 😊
no way you put hamilton over schumacher 💀
yes way!
Hamilton is better cuz Schumacher was a cheater
Schumacher was the dirtiest racer ever Lewis is better
he was dirty as fuck sharp elbows insane talent, he was no crybaby thats why every sane person puts him over ham
@@tomasrohovsky3931 Lewis handeled Abu Dhabi 21 10x better than any other driver would have
If you invert Schumacher and Hamilton it’s perfect
schumy is a cheater you jackass, ham is not !!
Its difficult to compare all the era's i know! But i can't understand why you put Vettel in 7 and how you forgot Jim Clark
THE BOSS!!! SENNA🇧🇷unforgettable.
No Jim Clark. Glaring omission.
No Jim Clark makes this list a joke. Both Fangio and Senna thought he was the best of the best. High praise indeed.
If Clark is in the list, somebody must be out. Who would be replaced by Clark then?
@razor_ramon_ everyone moves down 1 place. For me he's #1 but I understand everyone see's it differently. Bet your top 10 isn't the same.
There are only 2 correct answers. Michael Schumacher or Ayrton Senna. For me it's Schumacher but those 2 guys are clearly above all others.
I can not take any top 10 list seriously that says Moss is the best British driver ever, yet lists Stewart and Hamilton higher. That's before we get onto the real undisputed greatest British driver ever. Jim Clark.
Hamilton won his first title because McLaren stole material from Ferrari. Later on Hamilton won titles with Mercedes, but without the support of Michael Schumacher Mercedes won't be so competitive. Alonso was right when he said that Hamilton won his championships because he had the best car. Verstappen is 10 times better than him.
100% ...watched that tragic race live
Thought he was just concuss when his head moved in the cockpit
Rest in POWER SENNA
For memory: "Gilles was the best and the fastest racing driver in the world. And I liked him as a man even more than I admired him as a driver." Niki Lauda
Alonso is better than both.
YES !!
@@cadet15 Prime Kimi > Alonso
@@hyperspeedgameplay8652 yeah but look whose still racing. Look who beat Shumacher twice.
Alonso beat prime Raikkonen and he beat him at Ferrari. In 2023, scoring 8 podiums, more podiums than Lewis in the second fastest car; fighting with the Redbulls in quali and on track, he’s had a better season than his one against Raikkonen.
Alonso doesn’t have a prime. He’s 42 doing the same things he did when he was 32 or in his twenties. He’s definitely better
@@cadet15 I understand where you coming from but i respect your opinion 👍
Well Hamilton has the fastest car during his wins. Unlike Schumacher who only
Has the 2nd fastest car but still beating the Mercedes 🥳
having no Clark is such a disrespect .But I'm not surprised this is on stats, Clark, senna, Alonso are the most skilled racers.
I would probably put Fangio at #1. Also, Alberto Ascari and Jim Clark would be in my top 10. Replacing Nikki Lauda and ine of the others.
ABSOLUTELY SENNA!
Why anyone doesn't include verstapen
I think this was made a brit haha
Ayrton forever!!!😎👍
hitting those jeremy clarkson quotes at the end there lol. but hey, I watched the entire thing. lol
Fangio deserves to be higher on this list
when they were competing ,I always thought prost was better than senna. in the 29 years since his death , ive realised senna was more ruthless , had this 6th sese where the grip was on the track , as amazing at qualifying and basically better than everyone else
Do you think there is another driver that has the same ruthlessness and feel for grip in any circumstances?
@@virgilma6153Ruthlessness isn't a great quality for a sportsman.
@@stuartbritton4811 i believe it is at times when you have to deliver you can’t feel sorry for your opponent
Schumacher should be number 1 here.
Can't comment guys like Clark, Fangio and Ascari as I haven't seen much footage. But from modern drivers I'd say:
1. Senna
2. Prost
3. Schumacher
4. Lauda
5. Hakkinen
6. Piquet
7. Mansell
8. Hamilton
9. Vettel
10.Verstappen / Alonso
Obvious modern era bias. Fangio, Clark, Nuvolari, Moss, just to name a few better than all but Senna on this list.
if imola 94 didnt happen senna would have 6 championships, 94, 96, 97.
Jim Clark
Ayrton Senna
Max Verstappen
These drivers were born to race. Real talents
Schumacher Lauda and Hamilton as suggestions
Max verstappen must first prove himself
@@dogansusam7443i think he has by now
Jim Clark, Ayrton Senna, Max Verstappen and Michael Schumacher. They were all unique, but I believe Verstappen is like a hybrid of them
I kinda put Prost above Senna, but the biggest flaw on this list is the absense of the absolute GOAT, Jim Clark.
He was unstoppable.
If Clark is in the list, somebody must be out. Who would be replaced by Clark then?
@@razor_ramon_ Considering Clark is better than everyone, just put him at the top and knock everyone else down one.
My greatest f1 list would be in no particular order would be FANGIO - CLARKE - SENNA - SCHUMACHER. Other drivers i seen but just below are LAUDA - PROST - MANSELL - ALONSO - HAMILTON.
ayrton lewis and shumacher are tied for me
1 Senna
2 Clerk
3 Schumacher
4 Fangio
5 Hamilton
6 Prost
7 Alonso
8 Verstappen
9 Lauda
10 Stewart
Vettel?
I would put max top 3 but this list is way more acceptable than the video
Senna and Alonso, by miles.
Alonso beats Senna as Alonso’s never been beaten by a teammate, and never been beaten in a championship with the best car.
@@cadet15 Alonso was beaten by Hamilton in 2007. Mclaren also finished first in the Constructors in 2007
@@Ellemerob beaten, verb, past tense; Alonso and Hamilton ended level on points at the end of the season. Both second place to Raikkonen. It doesn’t matter if Hamilton was faster in qualifying, or on pole, or whatever. He did not beat Alonso. Ron Dennis advocated for a rookie and not the actual #1 driver who just won 2 championships against Shumacher.
Hamilton was good, for a rookie. He tied with a stifled Alonso. He got beaten by a guy he raced against since teenhood, by a guy he beat twice. He got beaten by a new guy in a team last year, the same team where he won 6 championships. And that same guy is beating him again.
Alonso beat Trulli, Fisichella, Raikkonen, Massa, Vandoore(who beat everyone in F2), Ocon (excluding reliability) and now Stroll. He tied 0-0 with his first ever teammate in a trash car, and 1-1 with Button, Hamilton, and Ocon (including reliability issues). Who has Hamilton beat? I mean flat out….Kovalinain and Bottas? A slow driver and non-racer? Cute for a “7 timer”.

All of these drivers have been outdriven by their teammates before they left the team.
All except one, that’s never been outdriven, either beating their teammates or drawing with them 1-1 before leaving the team. He has the cleanest record than all of these drivers.

Sadly the Video footage doesn't match the dialoge at all! But still... thx and greatings
Senna the best of the best for sure. Was there to win and win.

No Jim!!!! - Can't take this seriously - also Schu above Hamilton
I would add Kimi and Clark up there
Clark idk eniugh about him but kimi and max 100%
@@JonBow_ kimi above clark is insane tf are u saying
The presence of Vettel makes this list a travesty
And it's only about that Hamilton guy he's always been the one who everyone has had to watch out for since he finally got the seat in 2007 and he's been just too dam good when it comes to racing wheel to wheel giving space as a fair sportsman.
Schumacher with out a doubt
Ayrton Senna for me
Peterson should’ve been in it
if you put senna one then yeah i guess this list makes sense. any other case not
without question SENNA
You can't say who is the best, but who has the best car,everyone should race with the same car, and see who wins,
Crazy ALL of vettels records were broken in 2022 alone by 1 man 😂

yep.. a brilliant cheater..
@@giulio76ful yep only for a cheap cheat minded person
Sena Schumacher & Kimi
Name me one driver that has never been outdriven by a teammate at the end of their run at a team.
Alonso outdrove 9 racers, including Massa and Raikkonen. And he drew with three racers, two other world champions Button and Hamilton before he left McLaren twice. And Ocon who he beat in his first season back in F1 and then got beaten because of reliability.
Alonso either settled the score or passed it. No other driver can say the same. 9-3-0 and now 10-3-0 with Stroll.
Loads - Fangio, Clark, Stewart, Prost. Can’t rate Alonso above these as he could only match a rookie Hamilton.
@@brendanbrown3100 the guy is almost 42 beating Lewis in equal engines. The biggest threat to Verstappen, always the biggest threat with a drivable car. Horner said, Button said, etc. Beat champions by large margins like what he’s doing right now with Stroll. Clark also died with 2 world championships. Fernando is the modern day Clark.
@@cadet15 sorry but Clark is on another level. He destroyed every teammate. Alonzo couldn’t beat a rookie - although it was one of the best rookie performances ever. Fangio, Clark and Stewart for me are the immortals. Don’t get me wrong - Alonso is the best of his generation.
@@brendanbrown3100 okay one, McLaren cost both their drivers a championships. Between Spygate and awful management, they put the team in a position where they couldn’t win because they shouldn’t. Alonso was managed unfairly and Hamilton went off at China. And that same rookie who is a 7 timer who has only just started to drive inferior machinery 2022 and he got beat by the new guy at his team. This same rookie is now complaining that dominance is a bad thing every weekend in the media like he’s gonna cry. He keeps calling Alonso old. That rookie is a stain on racing.
Think about it. 8 teams. He beat Raikkonen like how he’s beating Stroll. Worst reliablity rate on the field , like how Jim and Rindt had and it ultimately cost them their lives. In a 4th place car. he was the biggest threat to first consecutive seasons. In an era where dominance wasn’t a thing and it was only you and the machinery, it was easy to show that you’re the best. And it was dumb of someone to deny it.
This era, people like Seb and Hamilton were one trick ponies. Lost without the best car. Alonso won on pure pace. Seb won by track position for half of his championships. I get it, Jim Clark is another level. But so is Fernando. Someone who has never lost to a teammate, and never lost to a teammate in a championship fight, and never lost in a championship when it was possible.
Fernando Alonso didnt come from a racing family or even a rich one. He never had the interest to race and never asked to. His first kart was that of his sister’s that she didn’t want. He started at 3 years old. From that point on, to now, a guy that’s almost 42 is still racing and in form. Spain’s only F1 champion was only a kid who knew how to race before knowing that he wanted to. And Dutch’s only F1 champion is the complete mirror of him.
You have to acknowledge that if Alonso starts winning, and starts or keeps winning championships 3 years from now, he will eventually pass Fangio in being the oldest F1 champion. Those guys embraced racing for what it truly was. They either dug deep or tried with a different team. They stuck it out and Fernando always has done that. People criticize him for his decisions but at times he was the most serious in the field. Fangio switched many times, and so did Jackie. We are watching a reincarnate of a racer from the 50s and 60s. From when he drove laps around in the Ferrari bathtub at Spain to then win the race, it just shows us “what if?”
What if you placed a first generation f1 driver, in todays era. We don’t have to wonder. It’s Fernando.
I dont think its fair in Verstappens case because he had only 1 year of motorracing experience. The step he made was too big but there was no doubt that he would be successful
Prost won more points than Senna in 1988. Senna was quick but less consistent, taking risks with back markers and against other drivers generally.
Sena without doupt...
5:36 what !!
Ayrton Senna.
Ayrton Senna the best❤
In my opinion Schumacher is the greatest of all time he could have easily made certain he stayed in the best team year after year to win far more championship than 7 but he decided to sacrifice 5 years of his peak performance to drag Ferrari up to the top where he felt they belonged. Lewis Hamilton had only raced with Mercedes power and never stepped out of his comfort zone played it safe and dropped his head many times when he has been behind his rival .
Schumacher left Benetton because the team was going downwards and he didn't have a place in neither Williams nor McLaren. Then he built Ferrari around himself and enjoyed five years in one of the most dominant cars of all time from 2000 to 2004 thanks to Ross Brawn and with the status of number 1 driver and a number 2 that was told to open up for him every time he came around. When Schumacher arrived in F1 all the greatest drivers of the previous generation were retiring or (in the case of Senna) dying. He did one race with a middle-of-the-field car and already moved to a competitive team. Compare that to Senna, who joined F1 in its most competitive era, with lots of world champions and prospective world champions already on the grid and occupying all the good seats. He had to spent 4 years in uncompetitive cars despite showing enormous talent and when he finally moved to McLaren, he had to share it in equal status with no less than Alain Prost, who was more experienced and was one of the greatest of all time. And when Prost left McLaren and Senna had the car all for himself (wit Berger almost as a number 2), the team coincidentally lost its edge. Senna still managed to win 1990 and 1991. But in 1992-93, McLaren became uncompetitive again. In all all, Senna had a much harder environment to compete against. His circumstances were far more difficult than Schumacher's. And he would still have most certainly won 1994, 1995 and 1996 with Williams had he not died, which means Schumacher would be down to 5 titles and Senna up to 6.
Where is my boy Mika Hakkinen ? 😥
Max verstappen top 10 now
And he died too early, if he would live, he still could at least drive another 5-6 years at highest level
Who could have?
@@jockellisaryton senna
Would have loved to see more Senna Schumacher battles...
Lewis hamilton
Lol
cramilton
Aryton Senna is the best all the way!!
Senna is the goat
Jim Clark not on the list and Fangio not being 1 or 2 (unless greatness is something else) makes your list a slobbering disgrace. Fangio didn't only win 5 times, but the other 2 ended 2nd. Nobody will probably ever compete with that. Fangio also seen as the driver with the highest ELO, simply making him number 1 or at worst 2.
And Clark. Only racer to win WDC and Indy 500 in one year. Extraordinarily talented and got taken away too soon.
