Sebastian Vettel discusses whether Hamilton is the greatest driver of all time

Sebastian Vettel was asked whether he considers Hamilton as the greatest champion of all time. He replied, “I think he is the greatest of our era for sure.

“I think it’s always difficult to compare, how can you possibly compare [Juan Manuel] Fangio, Stirling Moss to our generation? You can’t.

“Maybe we would be useless because we’d all be s***ing ourselves in those cars, maybe they would be useless in our cars because they’re way too fast, who knows?” Vettel further added.

Lewis Hamilton has now equaled Michael Schumacher’s tally of championship title wins. He broke Schumacher’s record of most race wins this season and also holds the record of most pole positions by anyone in the history of Formula 1.

He further explained, “To me, certainly emotionally, Michael [Schumacher] will always be the greatest driver. But there’s no doubt Lewis is the greatest in terms of what he has achieved.”
