Heidfeld was at one point, however, now I think it's Michael Schumacher.
He is in no way the greatest driver of all time like most people claim, but he is a lucky man for whom the time was right for him to dominate due to a lack of competition and a 'helping hand' from the F1 overlords.

Lewis Hamilton for puffed up! Overpaid, possibly Button, now that Ralf is long previous. Hamilton has no longer justified the hype that grew to become into lavished on him. i think of he had the quickest automobile final twelve months, the backing of the finished British press, progression and setup information from Alonso, an 18-pt lead with 2 races left. And he nevertheless lost in grotesque style! i'm no longer asserting his using expertise are puffed up, merely that the clicking has long previous ga-ga over him. there have been former F1 drivers that pronounced he's the "suited concern ever in F1" after 0.5 the season! it extremely is bollocks! additionally, F1 journalist Peter Windsor wrote that he thinks Lewis is already greater effective than the two Senna and Prost! He writes mid-season that a rookie is bigger than Senna (3 titles, 40-one wins, sixty 5 poles) and Prost (4 titles, fifty one wins)! If that's no longer puffed up, i do no longer know who's!

I don't think either Jenson Button or Takuma Sato are over-rated, but they are over-hyped. Juan Pablo Montoya certainly was both over-rated and over-hyped and he seems to be stuck at seven:
F3000 1997 & 1998 - A total of seven wins.
CART 1999 - Seven wins and seven poles.
CART 2000 - Seven poles.
F1 2001 to 2006 - A total of seven wins (four with Williams and three with McLaren) from 95 races.
F1 2002 - Seven poles.

Sato.
Villeneuve destroyed his career driving for BAR / Honda & proved his loyalty by turning down a drive with Forsythe / Indeck for a year cuz he said BAR was his team & he would stay with them. That year Paul Tracy won the championship for Forsythe / Indeck while Honda got BAR to repay Villeneuves loyalty by dumping him from the team without warning so they could give his car to Sato for the Japanese Grand Prix. Now after a few years of proving he can't make it in F1 Honda had to replace Sato so what do they do ? They basicly bought a 2nd team so he could still drive in F1. How much money can you spend on a bad driver ?

I think that ratings are decided by positions and points. Who's ratings are we talking about' Each driver is highly rated in his own country, but internationally the ratings are fair.

Jenson Button 2 reasons

Jenson Button. He's a God in England and his career isn't that amazing. IMO, Coulthard's much better than him and he's not half as popular as Button.

Takuma Sato, nearly every race he fails to finish.
