Lewis has nothing to do with Alonso being just 2 time world champion but the cars Alonso drove during his prime. As Adrian Newey said, his only regret in F1 is not having worked with Alonso. He explained in his book that him and Horner met with Alonso and his manager several times but Alonso always ended up declining their offers hoping a championship with Ferrari.

Alain Prost. Here's why: 1980 - John Watson, a good benchmark for a rookie driver, guy who wasn't exactly a GOAT material but was still a top class driver; 1981-1982 - Rene Arnoux, top of the midfield driver and another good benchmark driver; 1983 - Cheever, probably the weakest of all Prost's teammates, still a high midfield driver at the time; 1984-1985 - Lauda, enough said; 1986 - Rosberg, wasn't at his peak anymore but still wasn't someone that could be easily written off; 1987 - Johansson, basically Nick Heidfeld of the 1980s, Prost's second weakest teammate but still far from slouch; 1988-1989 - Senna, enough said; 1990 - Mansell, enough said; 1991 - Alesi, rising star of the period and was considered championship winning material by many (that didn't age well); 1993 - Hill, guy who managed to jump into top car in his second season and perform like a beast. Only teammates Prost lost to were Watson, Lauda (once) and Senna (once). In case of former, he was a rookie that year so it can be "excused". In case of latter two, however, both were champions and Prost both times finished 2nd in the championship with only few points behind them. Professor deserves a lot more appreciation.

I'm not a fan of Piquet, never really rated him despite his obvious success, and though I naturally leaned towards Mansell when he was fighting for a championship, he's not in my particular herd. To others, both would be in it. Horses for courses and all that. Neither would I argue about including Graham Hill - but then I've always been an unashamed Damon fangirl - and Mario Andretti.) The listed 10 were/are all outstanding, and if we could get a time machine, put them in identical cars - say at the peak of their powers (though we'd have to go forward in time to work out when that will be for Max lol) - I reckon we could have a full season with all fighting for the championship throughout. I wouldn't even want to vaguely speculate as to who'd become the winner.

Prost had more world champion teammates, but he did lost convincingly to Senna (I say convincingly despite popular belief saying that it was tight, all you need to know is their h2h stats, and the fact that Prost ran away from Senna) and most of his world champions teammate have passed their primes. Hamilton have slightly less world champion teammates, but they are all in their prime age. Moreover, one of them was the absolute all time legend Fernando Alonso, and Hamilton beat him in his rookie season. People can discredit Hamilton all they want, but having the pace to put him in the position to beat an all time legend in his rookie season is a feat that is most likely never repeated again. Lastly, Hamilton have never been beaten convincingly so far. Alonso was his closest match, and even then it was against rookie Hamilton. Not a big fan of Hamilton, but he definitely is the best driver since Senna.

He gets shadowed by Senna's brilliance, but Prost IMO was just as good or arguably better than him. In 1988, if not for the ridiculous points system where only the best 10 or 11 finishes counted, Prost would've actually beat Senna. Prost was a very consistent driver, not as fast as Senna over 1 lap, but had race pace and was less mistake prone than Senna.

Then i thought a bit longer and there's a couple of Ferrari Brazilians who come to mind. Felipe Massa had to deal with Schumacher, then Raikkonen, then Alonso all in a row, although he did have Stroll at the end go ease him out. Barrichello also had Schumacher for five of his seven world titles, and then Button for his one too. Is Barrichello the best number two driver of all time? Statistically he might just be. Would be an interesting topic for a video I think.

I think Hamilton has, 3 world championship team mates and Russell who dominated the junior ranks but he can still go toe to toe with in his late 30s!

So, if Lewis had beaten Nico, he would have less champions to fight with in this list, so he would be lower?
@n8pls5438 ай бұрын
Obviously. Same way the Mercedes cars were less dominant than Verstappen's championship Red Bulls because Verstappen was better able to keep up with them than Mercedes can keep up with him.

It is common for people to dump on Prost because he was Senna's adversary and Senna is all but worshipped as a god among F1 fans (including myself). However, what is not often celebrated is how massive a talent Prost was. I still put Senna over him, though, if for nothing else but his wet weather performance, but still, Prost was a fantastic driver.

Massa: Frentzen (3 wins, 2 poles, 18 podiums, 2nd in 1997) Fisichella (3 wins, 4 poles, 19 podiums, 4th in 2006) Villeneuve (11 wins, 13 poles, 23 podiums, 1x WC) Schumi (91 wins, 69 poles, 155 podiums, 7x WC) Kimi (21 wins, 18 poles, 103 podiums, 1x WC) Alonso (32 wins, 22 poles, 106 podiums, 2x WC) Bottas (10 wins, 20 poles, 67 podiums, 2nd in 2019 & 2020) In 15 seaons he only beat his teammate in the standings 3x (2005 villeneuve by 2 pts, 2008 kimi by 22 & 2017 stroll by 3 pts). Therefore he had the hardest teammates ever! 4 champs (11 chips in total) & 2 runner-ups!

Yeah you gotta feel for the guy. Probably looked forward to a chance of being Ferrari's main guy when Schumi left, only to have Kimi and Alonso as his next two teammates

Lewis Hamilton simply because every driver who competes against him in the end gets destroyed mentally, be that Alonso 2007, Hekkie 2008, Nico 13-16 ( he literally said himself ) Valteri 2017-21 and now Russell. The only exception being Jenson who was mature and world champion so it didn't get into his head that much and also Ham was undoubtedly weakest in 2011 helped

Hamilton couldn't beat Alonso in 2007 even with McLaren sabotaging Fernando. In fact, Alonso beat Hamilton in 10 out of the 17 GPs of 2007 season. Until Mercedes rocketships saved his career, Hamilton wasn't even in the conversation of being the best driver on the grid. This is a sport in which engineering rules. If Hamilton never changed McLaren for an average team at that time like Mercedes in a risky move, he would be 1 time World Champion. But again, statistics don't tell the whole story. His 2008 title has more value than, for example, any of Vettel's titles. Unfortunately, not only Fernando, but also Vettel was considered better than Hamilton until 2014. Statistic bias.

I think it's still mathematically possible to repeat championship win by 0.5 points (in case for some race only half points awarded) and given that total points tallies are higher now, that would atguably be even closer contest than the one between Prost and Lauda

had the 2021 season panned out differently in some races with the Spa farce still awarding half points it's very possible we might have been able to see the 0.5 points gap at the end

Obviously the driver who had the hardest teammates in F1 is 2016 FIA Formula 1 World Drivers' Champion Nico Rosberg, who beat 7 time FIA Formula 1 World Drivers' Champion Sir Lewis Hamilton and 7 time FIA Formula 1 World Drivers' Champion Michael Schumacher in equal machinery.

Senna seem like he should be up there but if it's very little I still think it counts even if little was preformed Senna has race with at least 3 world champions. even though his teammates were young in his carrier he really pushed the limit to be better than everybody although Damon Hill's career with Senna was short it was something he was building up to maybe challenge Senna for the title if he lived.

This is the reason why lewis is the GOAT. Alonso,max through majority of their carear had poor teammates. Hence their perfomance looks enhanced compared to lewis as their team mates doesnt perform to the car capabilities and also there is no pressure for them however lewis spent majority of his career facing these strong teammates as well as fighting them most of the time in top machinary where there is lot of pressure. Once russell become a world champio future,lewis will get even more recognition in having lot of world champions as teammates fighting them in their peak.
