YOUR TOP 5 SPORTSMEN OR WOMEN OF ALL TIME

[life on mars]

Lord Botham if you don't mind ! Viv and Lionel were on my shortlist too. The more you think about it the more difficult it gets so I just thought of those sportsmen that over the years meant something to me personally and more importantly they were people I took a liking to for whatever reason. Hence no Tiger or Hamilton, who I just couldn't take to.

For me Jim Clarke and Jackie Stewart Well are ahead of Hamilton , the tracks and cars Clarke and Stewart had to apply and use were remarkable , modern cars are almost computers ,safer , and the modern technology is of a great assistance for today's driver compared to the old days , in my humble view

not disagreeing with everything you say but those cars were also a lot slower and they had to think about far less than today's F1 drivers have to. I think the best "pure racers" of the modern crop - Hamilton, Alonso, Verstappen and others would do just fine in that era
