No argument with the worthiness of those mentioned, but my top pick needs to be included..Mauro Forghieri - Ferrari's Technical Director. "Forghieri was involved to some degree in the development of every racing car produced by the Ferrari Factory between his hiring in 1960 and his departure in 1987." "Under his guidance Ferrari won the driver's F1 world championship title four times, with John Surtees (1964), Niki Lauda (1975 and 1977), and Jody Scheckter (1979)."...additionally...there were no rear wings...until his appeared (1968 Belgium GP).
Others not mentioned...but were amazing individuals in F1:
Ron Tauranac
Bruce McLaren
