I'd have Clark in the top three. I don't disagree with Senna at one.
Comparing drivers from different eras is an entirely subjective exercise.

Francois Cevert,died too soon, Ronnie Peterson and Alain Prost....So much depends on their cars and teams thou. As much as I hate Schumacher He's up there too..
heck throw Maurice Trintignant there also..Just history wise,when i was a 3-4yr old with a home built car that my grandad built in France, news paper articles were calling me the future Maurice,long story but true.
I have a colleague who has collected a large archive of F1 footage. He has some incredible in car film going right back to the pre-war era. The scariest footage is of either Reutemann or Jones wrestling a Williams around the circuit in Las Vegas.
Whether the cars were harder to drive or not is a moot point. They definitely required a lot more work from the drivers.
