Statistically, Hamilton is way better, although both earned their 7th at the same age, Lewis has a longer runway, has more championships in the horizon, and Schumacher is at peace with it.

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.

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.

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.

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 want to revisit this statement because today's race prove its true. I love races when the usual suspects are not on the podium.

I disagree, but it was the same with Schumacher, It is a different time with a different team
Schumacher won 5 straight championships from 2000-2005. I was in a fantasy league one year and was like 5th, because I always pick Schumacher

Had MB, not made the pit stop mistake, the results would have been the same. MB is a very strong team.

Question is could another driver do what Russell did today in the same car?
