    The last poll about this was not very accurate and missed several options, so I decided make another one which includes other British drivers. Also included some stats to help some make a decision. Poll is limited to 10, so I could only include those British drivers who were already World Champions (with the exception of Mike Hawthorn, who is replaced by Stirling Moss)

    Jackie Stewart:
    3xWDC, 27 Wins, 17 poles, 15 Fastest Laps, 4 Grand Chelems, 43 podiums, 27% Win Percentage, 43% Podium Percentage.

    Jim Clark:
    2xWDC, 25 Wins, 33 poles, 28 Fastest Laps, 8 Grand Chelems, 32 podiums, 34% Win Percentage, 44% Podium Percentage

    Graham Hill:
    2xWDC, 14 Wins, 13 poles, 10 Fastest Laps, No Grand Chelems, 36 podiums, 8% Win Percentage, 20% Podium Percentage

    Stirling Moss:
    0xWDC, 16 Wins, 16 poles, 19 Fastest Laps, 1 Grand Chelem, 24 podiums, 24% Win Percentage, 36% Podium Percentage

    John Surtees:
    1xWDC, 6 Wins, 8 poles, 10 Fastest Laps, No Grand Chelems, 24 podiums, 5% Win Percentage, 21% Podium Percentage

    James Hunt:
    1xWDC, 10 Wins, 14 poles, 8 Fastest Laps, No Grand Chelems, 23 podiums, 11% Win Percentage, 25% Podium Percentage

    Nigel Mansell:
    1xWDC, 31 Wins, 32 poles, 30 Fastest Laps, 4 Grand Chelems, 59 podiums, 16% Win Percentage, 31% Podium Percentage

    Damon Hill:
    1xWDC, 22 Wins, 20 poles, 19 Fastest Laps, 1 Grand Chelem, 42 podiums, 18% Win Percentage, 34% Podium Percentage

    Lewis Hamilton:
    1xWDC, 17 Wins, 18 poles, 8 Fastest Laps, No Grand Chelems, 36 podiums, 24% Win Percentage, 51% Podium Percentage

    Jenson Button:
    1xWDC, 9 Wins, 7 poles, 3 Fastest Laps, No Grand Chelems, 31 podiums, 5% Win Percentage, 16% Podium Percentage

    I know. I initially included him, but as the poll is limited to 10 options, I had to replace someone in order to bring in Moss.

    Ah, he was pretty lucky in that Surtees gave him the WDC though

    That's the trouble with you. Still an immature little kid and you know nothing of F1 pre-2007. I'm 16, but at least I've made the effort to research past championships and drivers from the 60's, 70's and 80's. Yes I am a Lewis fan, but to me he's not at his best yet, 1 or 2 years/ another championship and he should be.
