I am foremost a F1 fan, love the racing, the development of the cars, the frenzie and good and bad decisions that create the stories that are worth to be made into a movie. Most agree that Hamilton, Verstappen, Sainz, LeClerc, Alonso, Russell and maybe a few more have even more exceptional racing skills than the merely “normal exceptional skills” of all F1 drivers. Hamilton, Verstappen, Alonso seem to have a virtue that make them more likely to be GOAT material; they are somehow able to stay more consistent than others while still racing super agressive. That makes them able to get the max out of a car. Give all F1 drivers the same speed of car, with their personal racing preferences in that car, and you would see all of them winning different circuits, probably. Whether a driver is winning a race is depending on the performance of the car AND the performance of the driver, so to say max is better than hamilton, or alonso, hard to tell. Being selected as first driver of one of the top teams having the fastest car does mean your skillset fits what they would expect, so i guess verstappen, leclerc, hamilton and alonso can be considered the best drivers on the grid. Alonso in my opinion maybe even the best, as he has made a difference in optimizing the car performance during development and is driving it with such joy, ease and sharpness, that i am wondering if he would actually be able to be even faster than Max in a red bull. But i am Dutch, so i resist the idea, i like to believe Max is the best haha14-05-2023 14:00
