Thread: The Best F1 Pilot Ever? And Why?

F1 has a long story, with its own legends and of course the drivers, pilots who made history. There are so many of them and i cant remember all, from the first Villeneuve, to the unforgivable Aerton Senna, passing to Mikka Hakkinen and of course the super Michael Schumacher. If i have forgotten any legend, you can add it here. But my question is:
How you think is the best, leaving the car behind, just looking through the character, the spirit and strength of the pilot ?
I cant say much about the other pilots, so i have to choose Michael Schumacher.
What about you?

well not taking character and him as a person in this, but i think if we are only talking about skill of driving, then for me, without a doubt, Schumacher is the one.

The skill of driving is one thing dude, everyone has that, or they wouldnt have been driving on F1. But if you dont have a strong character, if you dont have the heart and bravery, than you cant become a champion, even more you cant become a legend at all !

Ayrton Senna was been the best F1 driver.

Michael Schumacher !!

Mika Häkkinen. This tells everything YouTube - Hakkinen vs Schumacher Spa 2000 (From Different Angles)

Schumacher

Senna was good but he was pushing the limits..that being also the reason he made the accident and died. Schumacher managed to drive without pushing the extreme and risk his whole life all the time

I admit that schumacher was the best although my fav pilot was hakkinen :l

I would have to say Schumacher is the best hands down. Grew up watching F1 and he was always the most dominating no matter what the conditions.

I've heard great things about Sena but I just haven't seen any of his races obviously. Will def watch the movie about him when it comes out though.
