Of today's drivers: Michael Schumacher (perfection), Fernando Alonso (very talented and great driving style), Jean Alesi (not very consistant, but so entertaining) and Sebastien Loeb(smooth and aggressive at the same time). Being a dutchman I can't leave out Jos Verstappen of course. I wish he finally had a car in which he could prove himself.

My most favourite driver of all times is Stirling Moss though. Mille Miglia (1000 miles), 1955, Mercedes Benz SLR, Brescia-Rome and back again, on public roads with speeds of up to 300 km/h, in little over ten hours. That's an average of almost 160 km/h. After setting the record for the MM, he drove straight through the Alps to Stuttgart to notify the Mercedes board of his record.

Even six F1 world championships can't argue with that....
