Who you got as the GOAT of F1 . I say ita still Senna as he would of taken some of Schumakers titles he was early 30s when died. Hamilton rode rides a extreme tech car . New Era for me just isn't the same as the wild west 80s/90s F1. I got him 3rd even with the 7 titles.

Senna ..... still.
 
If rating racers a whole I might rate Mario or Foyt higher as they won all 3 levels - Indy, Nascar, F1.
 
Then one must mention Jim Clark.
Never understood why Schumacher , Senna, Hamilton never ran Indy 500. Senna wanted to but it fell thru Schumacher or Lewis had no interest. Made no sense as the Indy 500 is one of biggest races of year any format. And while the cars arent the "same" its not that different. But Indy is more dangerous but not thst much more imo.

For designers I might agree

Basically more important than the driver, let’s be real.

Great designer + good driver >>>>>>>> Good designer + great driver.

Take someone like Alonso. Pretty much agreed he’s an all timer who got his timing wrong.

Then Vettel will be remembered as statistically one of the greatest drivers ever, when he really wasn’t.

I don't think Senna would rank him that high . I know he was cleared for his part an the blame fell on the other guy but he was one of the 2 being investigated. But he had a huge career even after though.

Odd comment as, as you say, after several thorough investigations he was unequivocally cleared.
 
senna or schumacher if max drivers how he drives he could be goat guy has raw skill or antycipations do to his sim driving but guy plays with milimeters while other drivers play with centimeters
 
A lot of great names to be sure.
Hard to pick just one, or even two as goat.

As an aside, it's incredibly ironic that Schumie participates in such a high speed, dangerous sport for years and then after retiring
hits his head on a rock while skiing in Meribel and suffers the resultant traumatic injury.
Life just doesn't make sense sometimes.
