Yeah I agree but Hamilton made F1 boring as far as Im concerned. He is less loved compared to Shumi.

What has that got to do with being the GOAT? Nothing, He is kicking everyone's arse. Shumi could be a jerk and sometimes he drove like one.

The debate will end someday but until then, here's a good analysis.

If Hamilton keep his rampage up, there will be no doubt he is the GOAT.

I lost my respect for Schumacher, when he purposely turned in on j. Villeneuve, to try to stop him from winning the championship. If I remember he lost all his points that year.
He had his abilities, but that is where I lost it. I think Hamilton teammates give him a bigger challenge.

Now how Schumacher, brought back Ferrari and got the team going in the right direction. Admire him for that.

He did bring Ferrari back from the dead.

Blacks are generally disliked more than Whites in sports dominated by Whites. Especially with the older generations. Same goes things goes with Jack vs Tiger.

There will be some who will never admit that it is not "just the car".
These are mostly the same people who cannot back their minivan out of the garage without a flag-man on standby, or at least a rear-view camera.

I think that Lewis has the respect of his peers, and in all honesty that is more important (and impressive).

And "of all time" is a long time. No reason why a LeClerc or Norris couldn't best his number sometime down the road, if things came together for them.

I guess some folks just can't get over skin color. Tiger has no doubt been the best. He still impresses even with his injuries that are very difficult to deal with.
Jack even roots for him from what I have seen. Just craziness.

I think the possibility of there being someone to catch any of the greats right now is improbable because Lewis has a lot of racing ahead of him unless something unfortunate happens or he decides to quit and do something else. I do think those young guys do have a chance of winning a few championship if the get a car were their talent can shine even more. They also need to mature. Lewis is just like Tiger before his X tried to kill him, he is got everyone beat in the shortest part of the track, the six inches between his ears.

Precisely my point he is the GOAT and being said he dominated everyone in the series. His driving skills is the greatest no doubt. No other driver or manufacturer came close to challenge him. Its kinda you know who is gonna win even before the race started. Thats why I said it was less exciting.

F1 has been Highly celebrated during the era where Alain Prost vs Senna, Shumi vs Hakkinen and Nikki Lauda vs James Hunt to name a few. Where Championship is being decided at the last race or slim margins.

Nothing against Hamilton he is the greatest of them all but I likes challenges and real battles between two equally skilled racers and that brings excitement to the sport.

Currently the excitement from F1 is focused on other drivers battling for 2nd and 3rd. Position. Seeing rich boy Stroll fighting in the top 5 even got me excited.



You took me out of context buddy.
