fernando alonso. normally who ever gets pole at moncaco wins the race as it is very hard to overtake. if schumi was not put at the back of the pack and was let to keep his pole then i wouldve said that he would win.

Niki Lauda of Austria. He also won the Championship in 1977 and 1984. He won the 1975 and 1977 championship with Ferrari. He had retired in 1979 and to run his Charter airline company named Lauda Air. But returned to F1 racing in 1982 with team Mclaren, and went on to win the 1984 championship. He again retired in 1985.

Alonso, no question about it. And that's why Schumacher is desperate to get his hands on his 8th World Drivers' Title; so desperate that he resorts to unfair and unethical means of trying to win. He also did that in previous seasons, but in the end he was the one that lost more.\nSo, if you don't put up the ethics of the driver, it's Schumacher, but, if you throw those in the balance, it suddenly tilts towards the 24 years old Spaniard.

Statistically Michael Schumacher is the best, though it's not an apples to apples comparison as the car is a much larger factor in driver success than it has been in the past.  My vote's with Ayrton, he had a razor sharp focus that I haven't seen since, and F1 in the early 1990's was much more competitive than it is today.

He's got a long face because he lost the title last year... if you are talking about his mood now. And he also has a long face now because Alonso's run of victories and podiums makes Michael feel that the 8th title is slipping -again- through his fingers like a piece of iron scrubbed with a ton of grease. Probably it's because the Ferraris, models F2000 to F2004, were brilliant pieces of technology; F2005 was a failure that sent the Scuderia to the middle of the scores, and the 248 F1, the Ferrari used this year, is a fenomenal piece of technology but there is another car on the track this year that is a more fenomenal piece of technology, without the hiccups recorede by other teams... I'm talking, of course, about the Renault R26 and the man behind the wheel of the car with number 1 on the nose.

What a lovely question and comment,Mac!Thank you very much for them!:):)\n\nI agree with you that Ayrton Senna,known as Ayrton Senna do Brasil(of Brazil)was the greatest F1 driver ever!\n\nHow much joy he gave to us,Brazilians!And,I believe,to many people from all around the world!\n\nFootball(soccer)is called "Brazilian national passion" but F1 is very much liked here,probably because we've had more than thirty years of happy moments with our gret drivers.\n\nI began watching the races when I was about nine and Emerson Fitippaldi was well on his way of becoming the first Brazilian to be a World Champion,two years later.Friends and family would meet at one of our homes to watch the race together.\n\nMy Dad loves sports and enjoy F1 so,whenever I can,I join him,even for a while at a time,on weekends.\n\nFor ten years,Senna gave us countless moments of joy and  became the star of Brazilian Sundays. (sorry,God!;) )\n\nHe was a very special human being,besides being a great driver.The Ayrton Senna Institute,founded by him,has been helping and supporting Brazilian children for many years,now.They do a wonderful job!\n\nAnd he was a very sweet person and a "good boy".We used to say he was the son every mother dreams of.\n\nThe day Senna died,at Imola,I was alone at home,watching the race.My Mom and Dad had to go out to visit a friend and I told my Dad:"Don't worry,I'll watch the race for us both and tell you all when you come back!"They came back home minutes after Senna crashed his car at the Tumburello turn.No one knew for sure if he was still alive or not.I felt immediately that he would not survive.I was crying silently when my Dad came into the room and looked at me.He asked nothing.I said no word.No need.We knew.We just hug each other and cried together.\n\nWell,after taking a few minutes to recompose myself,I'd like to thank you again,my dear friend,for your lovely question and all the good memories!\n\nTa very much,Mac!:):)\n\n:):):):):):)

I'd put him in the top 3 of ALL time, 1950-2006. Not 1950-1994. He did wonders behind the wheel. Almost winning in 1984 in Monaco in an uncompetitive Toleman, then being a candidate for the title in 1985-86 in the Lotus, finally making the break with McLaren and at one stage, in Monaco qualifying, 2 seconds faster than his teammate in an identical car, not to mention the amazing first lap at Donington in 1993.\n\nHe was the real magician of the steering wheel. In Imola, in 1994, Formula 1 lost one of its biggest figures ever. Ayrton Senna was unequalable in life and he is unreplaceable in death.\nMillions of fans around the world still remember him and love him.\nHe will never be forgotten.

I'm a Jenson Button fan and I'm disappointed on what I saw last weekend.\n\nFrom the start and the first curve, Button just guarded Alonso in several overtaking attempts. The Renault power is pulling the 1 and 2 cars and not the drivers' skills. Renault's acceleration is the best and there's no doubt about it last season and the 3 races so far this season.\n\nI hope I don't see this bragging foolish Spaniard in the podium again. But stil don't count out Kimi Raikonnen. He's hungrier than ever.

Michael Schumacher/Bennetton Renault

He took a number of succesful tests in the 248 F1 (this year's Ferrari), but he said that F1 is out of the question. FOR NOW.\nWe'll see what he feels in 2 or 3 years' time.

Way better. Just look at this: I think that there was only one person that won the Indy car championship and then won the Formula 1 Drivers' Title (Jacques Villeneuve: IndyCar in 1995 and F1 in 1997, after Michael Schumacher's disqualification). There are some pilots that won the Drivers' Championship in F1 and then went on to IndyCar and won there, but there are only 2, I guess: Mario Andretti and Nigel Mansell. There are some more drivers that won in IndyCar and then came to Formula 1: Juan Pablo Montoya, won the IndyCar in 1999 or something like that and in 2001 he was driving for Williams in F1; Cristiano da Matta won the IndyCar in 2001, then he came into F1 and sucked. After 2 seasons, I think he returned to IndyCar.\nSo, except maybe for a single driver, who had his moment of glory in F1 after winning in Indy, all the drivers that won the Drivers' Title in F1 were purely F1 pilots. So that is a proof that F1 drivers are better than IndyCar drivers.\nPlus, F1 drivers only run on an oval course for about a quarter of the distance of a single race during the course of a 18-race season. (Turns 12, 13 and the Start-Finish section of the Indianapolis circuit are located on the oval. The rest of the track is a twisty, 11-turn section located inside the oval. Turn 13 was the cause for the Michelin boycott last year that caused the American GP to be run by only 6 cars.) IndyCar drivers run on the ovals for half the season. You need way more skill to race around a normal course then for an oval. That's why my choice is for the Formula 1 drivers.

Schumi is a fool. He started on pole but finished 2nd. Kimi started last finished 3rd
