Who is the best Formula 1 driver of all time? This is a question that has generated thousands of discussions: "Senna! Nobody piloted like him! ". "The best driver was Fangio, he won with any car!" "The best driver is Hamilton, because he has more victories than anyone!" There are many possible answers ... and the truth is that it is difficult to establish which is correct. It is an impossible question with a complex answer to determine.
Cars have changed over time. The machine is becoming more and more important. The way of competing is different, and so are the opportunities. If it is already difficult to guess who is the best driver today, imagine trying to do it in a line through time, where the competition conditions have been so changing, as well as the regulations, the vehicles, the circuits ... In this book we propose an analytical and entertaining way of trying to answer that question.
We will compare the best drivers in history in those points of interest that are decisive in the car race of these heroes.
