| Any thoughts on who you think the best british driver is of all time? At the moment i would go with Buttton, but what about in the past. |

Close between Clark and Moss but I'd personally go with Moss for his complete versatility.
Clark was versatile too but I think Moss was more so.

I think the greatest Brit ever in F1 is definitely Sir Stirling, if he was a racer today he'd still be the best, he is also a sponsor's dream, so thats plus too if we're talking about modern F1.
Having said that, I think Alonso said it, the best F1 driver ever has never even sat in a race car, and if he has, he has never cared for it. So I think this applies here as well. |

Sir Stirling.
Clark, Collins, Stewart, and Seaman were all awesome. Sir Stirling Moss is my favorite driver ever.  |

Jackie Stewart is my personal fave, but perhaps Jim Clark and Moss are in a tie. _________________ 5-1-94 R.I.P. Ayrton Senna
