Kimi Raikkonen has been voted the second greatest Scuderia Ferrari driver of all-time. Kimi was voted ahead of the likes of Villeneuve, Fangio, Lauda, Alonso or Mansell .

Kimi Raikkonen has been voted the second greatest Scuderia Ferrari driver of all-time in a reader poll conducted by F1 Racing magazine, behind only seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher and ahead of Gilles Villeneuve.

In order to celebrate 70 years of Ferrari, F1 Racing asked its readers and the online forum of FerrariChat to vote for the greatest Scuderia Ferrari driver of all-time. To narrow the criteria, the voting was limited to the 38 drivers who have won a world championship grand prix for the Maranello team since the 1950 Formula One season and the results have been unveiled in this month’s edition of F1 Racing, that went on sale in the UK yesterday (November 16).

Thousands took part in the online poll and Michael Schumacher was so popular, he registered over 50% of the entire vote from the global fanbase. Of the F1 drivers still racing, Fernando Alonso was rated sixth in the list, while current Scuderia Ferrari racer Sebastian Vettel was 10th and Felipe Massa was ranked 12th.

“We thought it was appropriate to remember some of the greats who have raced in Formula 1 for the Prancing Horse over the decades,” said F1 Racing Associate Editor James Roberts – “This forms one of key features in a series of articles celebrating 70 years of Ferrari in the latest issue.” Also included in F1 Racing’s December issue is a feature on a significant Ferrari F1 car from the past six decades and the first in a new six-part series on the history of the Scuderia.
