But this was more like the Screen Actors Guild Awards than the Oscars, in that it was 217 Formula 1 drivers &#8212; going all the way back to 98-year-old Paul Pietsch, who raced in the 1930s &#8212; doing the voting. From among all their peers, the group chose Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna as the number one F1 stunner. <\/p>\n<p>Still, there are plenty of &#8220;What?!&#8221; moments. Ayrton we&#8217;re solid on, and only three drivers from the past two decades made the top ten, one of them being Fernando Alonso at the number nine spot. But seriously &#8212; Lewis Hamilton at number 17 ahead of Jack Brabham, Graham Hill, and Kimi Raikkonen? Jensen Button at number 30 ahead of Alan Jones, Guiseppe Farina, and Phil Hill?
