�������� DRIVER RANKINGS |
|
|
|
A highly scientific ranking of the world's best racing drivers. |

 |
|
|
|
1. Michael Schumacher - after his 2001 season, how could anyone else occupy the #1 position?� Statistically, he's Formula One's best driver ever.� His incredible driving ability is complemented by leadership skills that have forged Ferrari into the most potent force in racing today. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
2. Juan Pablo Montoya - If anyone can challenge Schumacher for the F1 championship next season, it will be Montoya.� He had to endure some criticism early in 2001, but by the end of his rookie season, he proved himself superior to his more experienced Williams teammate.� |

|
|
3. Jacques Villeneuve - the longer Jacques remains in an uncompetitive car, the harder it is to judge his true ability.� If his BAR team ever becomes competitive (a prospect that seems increasingly remote with each passing year) Jacques will regain his mid-90's form and give his fans something to cheer about again. |

|
|
4. Jeff Gordon - America's best driver continues his domination of NASCAR by winning the 2001 championship after two years spent rebuilding his team following crew chief Evernham's departure in 1999.� Expect the only serious challenge to his 2002 title bid to come from the driver ranked #6. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
5. Mika Hakkinen - His ranking is high considering he doesn't plan to race in 2002.� However, if Mika decides to return it will be because he knows he can win. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
6. Tony Stewart - Great drivers jumping into any type of car and winning any type of race is a thing of the past, yet Stewart seems determined to keep the tradition alive.� I've been a fan of Tony since he was racing sprints and midgets on the USAC cricuit.� Aside from his talent, he also has a fiery temper, which is always a plus. |
