With 2009 Over, the Sun Revises "Best Ever" F1 Racer List

Do you suppose newly-crowned world champ Jenson Button made the list?

Nah, no way a single-time winner, who still has his full career ahead of him, would be ahead of the likes of Emerson Fittipaldi, right?

Er...

Here’s The Sun’s breakdown :

10. Lewis Hamilton

I told you, “Er...”

9. Nelson Piquet Jr.

I’m kidding! Nelson Piquet Senior!

8. Niki Lauda

They have to make sure they can get a quick quote when needed.

7. Jack Bradham

No arguments there.

6. Sir Jackie Stewart

Again, I have no quarrels. And I’m a big fan of his efforts on behalf of the sport since he retired.

5. Jim Clark

Clark at five?! The top four better be stunning.

4. Juan Manuel Fangio

OK, I get it...but better than Clark?

3. Ayrton Senna

How often do you see Senna out of the top two?

2. Alain Prost

You see Senna out of the top two when Prost is in it.

1. Michael Schumacher

At this point, you don’t even have to look at the link to know. But I checked, just to make sure they didn’t have Luca Badoer or Giancarlo Fisichella there.

Now, I have to admit, I’m a huge fan of these stupid, argument-inducing, and hackneyed journalist lists. I can’t help myself.

Anyone want to argue this top 10? Names that should be included? Names that are an affront by being on here?
