Who was/is the best British F1 driver of all time?

I think I'd go for:

1: Mike Hawthorn
2: Jackie Stewart
3: Tom Pryce

I'm sure everyone else will have their own opinions on it so I'd love to here them!

1. Big McLargehuge
2. Crud Bonemeal
3. Dirk Hardpec

 

Of my lifetime. Mansell, Hamilton, hill

 

I think the general consensus will be
in no particular order
Clark, Stewart and Graham Hill

 

Clark
Stewart
G.Hill

IMO in that order.

 

This

 

Mansell!

I am a fanboy though.

 

I'm not really all that knowledgeable when it comes to British drivers (even moreso as I'm Gen Y) but from what I've heard/gathered:

1. Clark
2. Stewart
3. Mansell

 

On a serious note:

1. Jim Clark (who i regard as the greatest driver ever, well, either him or Prost)
2. Graham Hill
3. Jackie Stewart

 

I think it would be hard to argue against Clark being the greatest. But I still have to go with Mansell. He gave me so many years of highs and lows, he was the first driver I really supported, he was always entertaining and always wore his heart on his sleeve.

I'm still a fan all these years later. No other British driver has had that same effect on me since.

 

On my tour of Silverstone on Monday I was told that Jim Clark was the greatest of all time
I was told that that at his peak he was untouchable in all races

 

Yep, I'd say Clark, indisputably, closely followed by Paul di Resta.

 

In a league of one.

 

Anthony Davidson

 

Quite right.

P.S. Who conducted your tour?

 

you really think Clark was that good?

1) Brian Henton
2) Johnny Dumfries
3) Perry McCarthy

 

Perry should easily be one in that list!!!

 

Clark
Hamilton
Mansell

 

I'll see your Johnny Dumfries and raise you a Jonathan Palmer! You're going to need a Max Chilton if you want to see my cards.......

 

No mention of Derek Warwick ! John Watson ward excellent !
