Who is the best driver of all time always remains a big debate within Formula 1. During his stream on Twitch, Lando Norris is asked to put together his ultimate F1 driver from five drivers.

Norris goes for some obvious choices, as he calls them himself, but there are also some notable names among them. World Champion Max Verstappen can't be missing from the list, of course, nor can seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton.

Fernando Alonso is also added, but instead of teammate Daniel Ricciardo, Norris goes for his old teammate Carlos Sainz. Four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel also doesn't get a spot on the list, something fans find remarkable. Instead, the Brit went for Yuki Tsunoda because of his on-board radios.

Notable list Norris

"This is tough. I’m going to go with present drivers. You’d have Lewis in there, you’d have Max, I’d have Fernando, a bit of Carlos, and a bit of Yuki. He loves a little radio scream. So just for pure entertainment, I’d put Yuki in there. I’ve missed Charles out, I feel bad, but from those others, I think if you put them together you’d have pretty much an unbeatable driver," Norris said in the video.

Charles Leclerc is also not part of Norris' ultimate F1 driver despite the Monegasque's strong performance. The Ferrari driver currently leads the championship by 34 points.
