Mark Hughes on F1's three best drivers
Choosing the finest driver on the grid is the eternal debate for F1 fans. Mark Hughes picks his top three from the 2011 field and explains what gives them the edge over the rest of the pack
In a sport that generates a fanatical following, the question of who is Formula 1's best driver is perhaps the most emotive one of all.
In essence though, the question itself illustrates the gap between external perception and participant reality. From the driver's perspective, the whole nature of the game is to get oneself into a position to win. He's endeavouring to have the right team of people and resource around him, to build that team to enable him to then beat everyone else.
