'Greatest' is highly subjective, but I personally don't feel that 2010 has been as good as 2003 or 2008 in terms of racing excitement, if we search for recent examples. And in terms of the tightness of points standings, early 80's are the best IMO. Not only we had 4-5 guys fighting for the championship then, but also others got a look into achieving race wins here and there. Currently the five contenders tend to be the main contenders for all Top5 positions in races on most occasions. Even Renault and Mercedes are far away from threatening a race win, let alone others. So from that point of view (the whole depth of the field) even last year was more interesting, because we had all kinds of surprises here and there (even Force India competing for a win). 2010 has been closely fought in terms of points, but other than that we haven't had anything particularly stunning that would stick into the mind brightly for the rest of the life, perhaps with the exception of the memorable Red Bull crash in Turkey.
