The topic of the greatest racing drivers is often hotly debated and a definitive answer is impossible. Nevertheless, it remains entertaining to try and, in the latest series of Autosport top 10s, we’re taking on the challenge by selecting the best Formula 1 drivers in each decade.
For these lists, which kick off with the first decade of the world championship, we’ve considered many factors, including level of success, machinery at their disposal, longevity and how highly the drivers were rated by their contemporaries.
Successes (or failures) outside of the relevant decade are not considered and many drivers are eligible for more than one top 10.
So, here’s our pick of the best drivers who raced in the world championship between 1950 and 1959.
