Three-time world champion Ayrton Senna has been voted the greatest Formula One driver of all time.

In an Autosport magazine survey taken by 217 drivers, seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher – one of those polled – had to settle for second place.

Juan Manuel Fangio, who won five titles between 1951-57, was third.

Senna died in a crash at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. He won 41 races.

Each voter, including the earliest surviving grand prix winner in Jose Froilan Gonzalez and the oldest living F1 driver in 98-year-old Paul Pietsch, was asked to name their top 10.
