Senna was my favorite but Prost had more fastest laps during their 88, 89, 90 rivalries and won a world championship in 89 as a teammate to Senna. Prost was very fast and intense and if you were his teammate and had a weakness he would exploit it. As for pole positions. Senna just knew how to pull a fastest pole with the least time remaining in qualifying and certainly that has to be acknowledged.
Also Jim Clark might have been a rain master. Clark and Stewart, those cars of the 1960's were crazy/dangerous/small and very fast. To win multiple championships on that era and live as Stewart had and Clark succumbed does in different ways reveal their braveness and brilliance.
It is an interesting list, and I do think Senna took cars like Toleman, Lotus and Ford powered Mclaren and drove them over a season like probably no one else could.
