With 7 World Drivers’ Championships on his name, 98 Grand Prix victories and 100 (!) pole positions and still counting, Lewis Hamilton has surpassed all expectations. But how great is he?

Damon Hill and Fernando Alonso, two World Champions in their own right, express themselves:

Damon Hill: “You do realise you are watching one of the most talented people to ever have walked the Earth, don’t you? He really is a phenomenon. Can only watch in awe.”

Fernando Alonso: “Does he have the best car? Yes. But with the best car you need to deliver every weekend, whether it’s raining or dry of whatever. You have to perform when Red Bull have a good weekend and then also when they’re at a track where they are slower. You can only do that if you’re performing at the top level and I don’t know if what he’s doing is being valued enough.”

Lewis Hamilton is an immense champion, that’s a certainty. Is he the greatest of all time, like his statistics would suggest? Impossible to be sure. What’s your opinion?
