10 names that come immediately to mind, in no particular order, as amongst the best:
Colin Chapman
Ross Brawn
Ron Dennis
Jean Todt
Frank Williams
Flavio Briatore
Enzo Ferrari
John Cooper
Jack Brabham
Ken Tyrell
Christian Horner
For me 2 are stand outs (This is obviously based on perception, never having known these guys personally)
Jean Todt - gives the impression of being the nastiest mean spirited focused to win at any cost. Not admirable but traits that can't be faulted in a business where success is all that matters, and boy did he succeed.
Colin Chapman - the ultimate F1 engineering enigma, could be at times totally clueless and other times stunningly brilliant when it came to race car engineering. A boy hood hero of mine.
So what are yours?
