Periodic Table of Formula 1

Inspired by the book, The Periodic Table of Cricket, I decided to try and replicate this for Grand Prix Racing. Starting in 1906 I have tried to find the most storied and elemental racing drivers that have impacted the sport and collate them into 5 distinct sections of racing drivers. I also added the most powerful and influential figures in the sport to cover the politics, engineering, entertainment and safety of the sport.

This is not an attempt to create a definitive list on the 92 'best' drivers in history, but rather to portray the drivers whose stories explain the fundamentals of the sport.

Please query on the placement on certain drivers or other figures or the exclusion of others, and share any stories on these people who have defined the sport
