Stirling Speaks – Great Drivers

Sir Stirling Moss sizes up the modern Schumachers and Sennas to his “gold” standard – Juan Manuel Fangio.

Stirling Votes On The Best Drivers

The topic of great drivers and “who is the greatest” driver is always an interesting one and, of course, a difficult one, because it is not easy to compare drivers from very different periods of racing history. I have always considered Fangio the “greatest,” but there are certainly many others worthy of consideration. In recent years, a number of people have asked me what I think of Schumacher, or “was Senna as great as Fangio?” These are easier questions to talk about than actually give a clear answer to.

As Michael Schumacher has just won his sixth consecutive Grand Prix at Malaysia, and all six have been from pole position, this might be a good time to consider some of these “modern” drivers.
