If you want a heated debate among Formula One fans, then just throw into the conversation the driver you think is the best the sport has ever seen, and watch the sparks fly.
To fuel the fires of disagreement further, legendary F1 journalist Alan Henry reveals his top 100. Although skills behind the wheel is obviously notable, Henry gives his subjects a rigorous assessment that also considers the dignity, tenacity and the ability of a driver to inspire the team - in fact every part of the complex mix which goes into making a truly great Formula One driver.
But who is number one? Alan Henry's book excited huge interest on hardback publication, and this updated edition - with a foreword from true F1 legend Sir Jackie Stewart - is set to do so once more.

'So, get yourself a copy of Alan’s book. Read it. Disagree with it. Throw it across the room every so often in disgust. Let a few minutes of reflection pass, then go and pick it up again and read some more. Then throw it at the cat. Then pick it up again, etc.' Autosport;
‘In this case the man is unusually well qualified on the grounds of experience and soundness of judgement, the mixture leavened with a sometimes mischievous sense of humour and the occasional burst of full-throttle subjectivity.’ The Guardian;
