I believe DSJ said in his book "The Racing Driver" that at any time the World's greatest EVER driver, is driving a delivery truck somewhere.
We will never know who he/she is, they do not know even know they have it in them.
They just can't understand why everyone is sliding off the road and they aren't, or why the person driving them that day is not slowing down for that problem ahead that hasn't happened yet, but they can see is about to.
So, in short, none of out "heroes" are the greatest ever, they are the BEST at the time for the available equipment and were in the right place at the right time.
Just to play Devils advocate a bit, In any competition I have seen with F1 drivers going up against Rally drivers in a MIXTURE of cars and situations, the Rally drivers always won..........
