Schumacher voted Ferrari's greatest ever driver
As part of the celebrations to recognise Ferrari's 70th anniversary, Michael Schumacher has topped a list of the best Scuderia Formula One drivers of all time ahead of Kimi Raikkonen and Gilles Villeneuve, after a poll on the FerrariChat forum was published on F1 Racing magazine.
Readers of the magazine had the opportunity to choose from 38 drivers who have won an F1 Grand Prix for the Italian team since 1950, and Schumacher blew away the competition after securing over 50% of the overall vote.
The results and details of the vote were published in F1 Racing's November 2017 issue, which was released today on the 16th of the month. The idea for the vote came from the publisher's decision to pay tribute to Ferrari drivers as part of the anniversary.
"We thought it was appropriate to remember some of the greats who have raced in Formula 1 for the Prancing Horse over the decades," said F1 Racing Associate Editor James Roberts.
"This forms one of key features in a series of articles celebrating 70 years of Ferrari in the latest issue."
Schumacher is considered one of the best drivers of all time and still holds the record for the most Grand Prix victories and World Championship victories. Since 2013, he has been recovering from a life-threatening brain injury suffered while skiing.
Fernando Alonso was voted in sixth in the list, while current Ferrari racer Sebastian Vettel was 10th and Felipe Massa was ranked 12th, with these three making the list of professionals still driving.
