Fangio won 44% of the races he started. The only driver who surpassed that was lee wallard, who competed in the Indy 500 twice when it was a championship event in F1, and he won once, meaning his start to win ratio is 50%. Fangio is undeniably the GOAT
@@myuserisrandom7913 It's always hard to argue that kimi wasn't the fastest ever, I really like him but Senna was just something else, specially in the Era he fought in.
@@jm3011 I mean so was Kimi. He almost took a title from Michael Schumacher during his Ferrari dominance. But bad luck got the best of him. I also wouldn't say that he needed the right car. Vettel has said that Kimi is the most talented driver he has ever seen and would win if there was a category where you swapped cars each lap. During his Maclaren years he also said to the team that there is a hole in the chassis, the team looked for it and said there wasn't a hole. Then after the race back at the factory there was a hole in the exact spot. So he clearly has a really good feeling for the car. He just never seemed like the guy to care about winning that much. He said that it was a hobby. Which I kinda believe. He didn't work hard to be the best. It's hard to say how his legacy would be if he had the same passion as Senna, Shumacher or Verstappen. But his Mclaren years are some of the best in the sport. No doubt about it. 03 and 05 especially. But if we talk about over their careers, yea, Senna is on top. Because he was always great. But he also had the passion to win, unlike Kimi. So it just depends a bit on what you look for in "the fastest of all time" or anything of all time. Do you value consistancy, do you value prime or do you just look at the results? Because depending on what you value, the "best" can be so many different people.
Not even close. It was Newey's car that was fast. When he was teamed up against decent drivers like Seb and a great drive like Alonso, he got killed. It's all silly fanboys who just thinks he's cool.
@@robertwhitten265He didn't have any motivation after winning in 2007, he had nothing left to prove, so he didn't care anymore. That's why he got beat by Seb
@@WuseligerPinguin_SF Get out of here, so many excuses. What about Massa outscoring him in 2.5 years as a teammate. How about getting killed by Alonso. Kimi is all image, adored by kids who like his attitude. Newey proved since 1989 that he can make anyone look fast. Look at Mansell, Seb, Hill, JV, Mika, DC, they are all average drivers who looked fast on Newey's car.
@@robertwhitten265 And what is your proof for all those drivers being average? Also, those are not excuses, they are facts. Huge difference. "It's more like a hobby for me", said Kimi. That's why he didn't really care anymore, it was just his job for him, not his passion.
Tom Pryce could have been a contender if not for his demise just as he found pace. He was an impressively fast driver , placing his shadow ( a pretty useless car ) in the top ten in almost every race until his death. Gilles and Ronnie P are also solid contenders for the list
Alternative finding. The drivers Senna raced against were on average slower then drivers from other eras. The algorithm you give isn’t the complete form. If so it’s got some holes.
Well considering which drivers are following Senna in this ranking, I don’t see this “experiment” as a success. It really just plays with stats which is all it can do.... or the drivers we consider goats are simply not as good as the drivers in that ranking. What the AI doesn’t take into account though, is that some drivers are way better at long distances than a one lap pace. Kind of like the 100 m sprint athletes aren’t the best at 4000m races.
A link to the study wouldve been great to list. Unless you have a metric to weigh the differences based on the cars and track layout changes theres no real way to answer this. That being said you possibly could average qualifying times for each track and year to create a ratio of gained or lost average time between previous years. Then multiply that ratio to the time of each driver for the individual tracks over a season and finally average those times. It wouldn't be perfect and wouldn't be a definitive answer but would be the closer you could get. The only true way going forward would be to time each driver in a identical car and never change the car or the track layout. But that wouldn't be F1 then.
Honestly it’s hard to tell, if u say senna is the quickest it makes sense, cause when senna was racing the cars were smaller, and faster with V8 engines and Being smaller and lighter allowed drivers to be faster in tracks like Monaco, the debate cannot truly be justified as well we gotta predict what the results would be like if we put all the drivers in the GOAT debate in a race with identical cars, in terms of weight, horsepower and even the same dimensions and weather conditions.
Max still has what? 5 years? Lots of time to pad his stats. Im not a Max fan either, but this season is kinda nuts and they are getting upgrades next race!
Ayrton Senna, Prost, Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen all have their own strengths and weaknesses and can all be classed as the fastest driver
@@SirCodezyy Don’t get me, I don’t like Max, and I can see where your coming from, especially with how things are in the 2022 season. But the Ferrari had the better package for qualifying this season. Also Max had the most pole positions in 2021, and he was always faster then all of his teammates. I don’t like him, but you can’t deny his pace man.
Apart from being incorrect, certainly not definitive, certainly if based on qualifying only. You would only be able to rate it by the fastest speed ever done in their career at a specific m.sec. I'm guessing fastest was Michael Schumacher or Valtri Bottas. Unfortunately F1 cars are slower now than they used to be, even a decade ago.
What did you just call him?....... Also that is one one metric. There are others like Fastest F1 Driver by top speed was Motoya at 231.5 mph Fastest ever pole lap, Hamilton at an average speed of 164.267 mph Or the most fastest laps. Micheal Schumacher at 77. The fact is nobody actually argues about who is the fastest, but who is the greatest, and the only fair way to manage that is by the number of world championships....which puts Hamilton and Schumacher on the same.
There is no official way to measure. All this video says he's the best in Quali. The best driver however isn't just great at Quali, but also great during the race and in the rain. Of course, Senna is great and easy in the top 5 drivers imo, but this video is useless.
Valtteri Bottas went 372.5km/h (231.4mph) in the 2016 Mexican Grand Prix. I think you meant, 'who is the quickest of all time'.
Interesting, thanks for the information!
It’s about who is consistently the fastest, not who holds the record for who has gone the fastest in a formula one car

It really also depends on the cars driven as well
but senna could basically drive anything lol
some may think the McLaren's he drove were comparable to the cars Williams made at the time, but theres a big difference, ill just tell you that.
If it weren’t senna, it’d surely be Jim clark
