I know we’re talking about a different era here, but it’s wild to go look back at Mario Andretti’s career - Indycar world champ, F1 world champ, Indy 500 winner, Daytona 500 winner, 12h Sebring winner, 24h Daytona winner, second at Le Mans (first in class), victories in sprint car and sports car… the man was incredible at every level. He set the bar incredibly high for people looking to claim the title of best all-around driver.

Andretti also won the 1969 Pikes Peak event, alongside his Indy 500 win that same year. If I may add a mandatory Jacky Ickx mention: 1967 F2 Champion, 8 F1 race wins, 1969/1970 F1 Championship runner-up, 6-time Le Mans 24h winner, 1977 Bathurst 1000 winner, 1979 Can-Am champion, 1982/1983 WSC champion, 1983 Dakar Rally winner. I also feel obliged to mention Graham Hill: 1962/1968 F1 World Champion, 5-time Monaco GP winner, 1966 Indy 500 winner, 1972 Le Mans 24h winner, and the only driver to achieve the Triple Crown, in both its older and newer definitions. Andretti, Ickx and Hill are my personal Holy Trinity of motorsport from the old times. These guys were legendary and talented all-around.

Documenting how Larson was a part of a Rolex 24 overall win (I feel like that is severely overlooked), and the fact that Red Bull has been a rotation of drivers since Vettel left, with Daniel being the closest to sniff Max's success. The GOAT driver conversation should always go on, and there should not be a definitive answer. You hear it in all sports. I mean on NASCAR's end we can't decide if Dale Earnhardt Sr, Richard Petty, or Jimmie Johnson is the greatest. Good job on your research, honestly you are one of my favorite motorsports' content creators.

@@privateinformation2960 It gets me that you'll hear the same motor sports commentator say, "Racing is a real sport and drivers are real athletes" and "There should be more women in top flight racing". You can't have it both ways. If racing is a real sport, then women can't compete with men. If women can compete with men in top flight racing, then it ain't a real sport. You don't hear commentators of other sports saying, f'rinstance, "There should be more women linebackers in the NFL", or, "Why aren't there more women playing in the National Hockey League?" because there's no questioning that those are real sports and the notion of women playing against men in those sports is absurd. More than absurd, it would be suicidal. So far the only motor sport women have been successful at is drag racing which, in a top fuel dragster, lasts less than five seconds. But we have to listen to the ass kissing and pandering of certain commentators who want to sound like they're on the "right side of history". Anyway, I think DiSilvestra is an IndyCar driver. Women have a better chance at actually finishing an IndyCar race because, outside of the 500, they're about half as long as the average NASCAR race. Some years back there was a lady IndyCar driver named Lyn St. James who generally managed not to crash and to finish races by turtling around the track in an inside lane while all the real drivers were passing her on the outside, but she managed to have a career because the team sponsors liked the way she pushed the product. She was a good speaker in the hospitality tents.

Hell he could win the Indy 500 too if he ever changes his mind about oval racing. So he's versatile enough, though I'd love to see an head to head.

Mr. Verstappen is the best at his craft, and is hyper specialized in driving. With a bit of time, he could probably adapt well to any other driving series. Mr. Larson has shown that he is adaptable in multiple series and can hang with the top drivers, even if he doesn't win, but the nature of NASCAR compared to F1 doesn't accurately reflect how good the drivers are in regards to championships anymore. Truthfully, we need to put them both in something like Nitro Rally, karts, or something off the wall and let them show their natural talent against each other to figure out who's truly better.

IndyCar, yes. NASCAR, probably not. I know Dario Franchitti wasn't Max Verstappen, but he could have been an F1 driver if he had wanted to follow that path, and he was a damned good driver. And he was completely lost in NASCAR. So let's say Verstappen did twice as good as Franchitti. He'd be finishing 17th every race instead of 35th. And that would be considered good for a new driver. Given time, he'd soon be competing for wins on the road circuits, but would continue to struggle on ovals. None of the guys from road racing that I can think of, going back to Gurney & Mark Donahue (who won in NASCAR, but on road circuits), up to Montoya and Marcos Ambrose, ever won on an oval. The only possible exceptions are Andretti winning the Daytona 500, and Robbie Gordon, but they were as much oval guys as a road racers.

In my opinion, anyone who would dismiss oval racing as "easy because you just turn left" is a casual fan posing as a hardcore fan. They don't understand how fast the drivers are going in a circle and how much forces and wear and tear are multiplied. Which is really weird, because all that stuff is also explained to them when they watch a circuit race that contains the same factors. I'd wager most of them are just repeating that one joke from some Jeff Dunham comedy show from years ago that they probably heard from another person who saw the show, and repeating it enough times for it to become a thought terminating cliche. They don't even know it doesn't make sense outside of the context of the comedy show. And isn't even that good of a joke in context.

I agree. And Americans always seem to disregard that somehow

Exactly! Americans think winning in America is the same as winning internationally. The caliber of drivers that Max beats is simply better than the caliber of drivers that Larson beats

Max would be pretty good after a couple of years. Kyle would finish last every race after 10 years in f1

Scot McLaughlin should very much be considered. His transition to open wheel and ovals is incredible.

Short answer: Max Verstappen. Long answer: No way Kyle Larson is better than Max Verstappen. Right now, somewhere, Max Verstappen is working on the simulator, or participating in a race.

@@chasejordan22In reality Max has just not bothered to try other “disciplines”. F1 drivers are the best WEC drivers. Apart from driving in Ovals and rally they would be better in anything else. There’s a reason why Schumacher and Vettel are the most successful drivers in ROC.

@paperplane-db8qf Some of the top hypercar drivers came from gt3 and other cars; laurens vanthoor, Kevin estre, Nick Nielson, Mike Conway, etc. F1 drivers do do well but they aren't head and shoulders above the rest at all. Plus, historically, F1 drivers who have gone to NASCAR or Indy haven't performed dominantly (e.g. ericcson or grosjean). That's not to say these drivers aren't skilled, but it's not the same skillset at all

Dude indycar viewership is atrocious… this isn’t even remotely the case. You wanna talk about irrelevance, indycar is way closer to irrelevant than NASCAR judging by its earnings, viewership, and pretty much any metric besides the Indy 500 prestige.

@@56JKL Check growth figures. IndyCar is growing and has been for years. NASCAR otoh is basically in a death spiral. Viewership and fan interest has basically never been lower than it is now, with no end in sight. Also, the quality of racing in IndyCar has basically ALWAYS been higher than NASCAR regardless of viewership/money.

@@Cooe. that’s actually not even close to true lmao. None of it. NASCAR’s lowest viewership and fan interest we in like 2016-2018 and have been climbing. Indycar viewership is way down for everything besides the Indy 500 with many races not even pulling in 1 million viewers while nascar regularly pulls in 2.5-4 million viewers for most races. Also indycar’s quality of racing has had many issues recently with many mediocre races this year.

I dont know if anyone here has watched anything Max has done outside of F1. Be it sim racing or in real life but that man can drive literally anything, and adapt to anything with insane speed. I dont see at all how Larson is more adaptable simply because hes competed it more varying race formats. Max still adapts and perfects anything he drives, without having competed in those formats, thats real adaptability.
@JetCityNinja2 ай бұрын
To paraphrase: Max is a better driver because he can adapt in a sim and has never competed in those series’ while Larson, who actually did it and won, is the lesser? Your logic seems flawed or you made a critical typo, as the only difference is the “better driver” is one who doesn’t race IRL.
