The top 20 greatest F1 drivers of all time: Michael Schumacher ranks above Max Verstappen for now, and a man who won nothing is sixth… but who beats Lewis Hamilton to No 1 on JONATHAN McEVOY’s illustrious list?

Picking the best in any sport is difficult. Times change. Perceptions alter. Nostalgia plays tricks. The here and now is uniquely vivid.

In motor racing, the task is even harder. While a football is still essentially a football (if made of different materials), Formula One divides between the era of immediate peril and one of more distant peril. It is still dangerous and always will be but the change confuses accurate assessment between one era and another.

It is a personal list. Forgive me.
