I'd have to go with, in chronological order:
Hunt - Swashbuckling, screw-the-system, devil may care attitude.
Villeneuve - "Gilles was the last real racing driver...we are now paid professionals." Appx quote on Villeneuve from Alain Prost.
Senna - His speed was epic. His passion for the sport unmatched. His death a global tragedy. So amazing that his arch-rival sits on the board of his foundation.
Hamilton - Started as Senna. Transitioned to Prost. The current sum is greater than the equal of its parts. 1 Billion people in his social networks. Has his own fashion label within Tommy Hilfiger. Global Icon.
P.S. GREAT THREAD, BRUCE!! Thanks for starting this!!
