Greatest Racing Driver
Discussion
Now that Herr Schumacher has shocked the entire world by announcing his retirement I think it is time to open a thread to decide who was the greatest of them all. Not just in terms of World Championships but for all types of racing, for style, longevity, honour, courage and variety of racing wins.
I shall therefor open the batting with Tazio Nuvolari who raced, and won, particularly at a time when the Germany dominated most racing events. And was still winning races, post war, whilst very ill and slowly dying.
Ladies and Gentlemen, please start your forum engines.

Fangio. Fantastic record for his day, with far less money/safety, and still a stableful of contenders to drive against.
And James Allen. Probably. In his dreams. Cock.

1. No problem.
2. As I am probably the only person in the entire universe who does not possess a televison, will someone please enlighten as to who James Allen is and why he is such a cock.
To know all is to forgive all.

Stirling - not "Sterling" 
Moss didn't wear belts or harnesses not because he CHOSE not to wear them. He didn't wear them because they weren't fitted to the cars of his era.
