      I don't think I'd put Hamilton quite on the same level as Schumacher or Senna,
      but lets be real.
      He's in the conversation with them as one of the greats.
      Guy deserves a Knighthood for what he has achieved in Formula 1.
      He should pass the remaining records that Schumacher has this season,
      on Ferrari turf of all places.

      Greatest driver of his era without question.

      For me it would be:
      Senna,
      Schumacher,
      Hamilton.

      I'd have no problem with others taking a different viewpoint though.

      There's a hell of a lot of other greats in Formula 1 as well, Fangio, Sterling Moss, Prost just off the top of my head, as I said its kind of hard to rank them as they were different eras, but one thing is for sure the cars are easier to drive these days, with radio communication and telemetry to engineers plus of course much much safer, but on the flip side the G forces are much greater so drivers need to be fitter.

      I never gave you my opinion on Hamilton, I was merely pointing out something in your piece I had an issue with namely drivers in dominant cars.

      I think the irony of this is that Hamilton is using his position of power and privilege to push the agenda which is exactly what he claims the establishment do and what leads to what he perceives as the problem.
      Nobody has put to him the hypocrisy of his position in respect of Mercedes and Hugo Boss. Why?
      Because they know that in order to do their job they need access to him, access he will deny them if they have the temerity to question him.

      A brave driver, such as Stewart just did. A dyslexic who campaigned for and achieved real change in the sport, which today's drivers, Hamilton included, owe a huge debt of gratitude to, not dismissed as an uneducated rant from an "older generation" .

      Hamilton, as the rest of the drivers, had no interest in organising rallies before every race until an incident in the USA. Now when other drivers want to focus on their racing and work on their cars with their engineers on the grid, he drags them all off for political rallies demanding unity, while wearing a shirt with a different message on it to the rest of them. It's not enough for them to simply show their support for the cause anymore, they either all follow the ring leader or have to answer questions.

      He says he has a platform and he's determined to use it. The reality is that most women and men with his background, want to do other things for a living than drive sports cars, spending most of the year far away from their loved ones, especially at his age. That's not racism, that is a personal choice. These rallies may grab the attention he's looking for, but if it's change he wants, he's set to be disappointed. Next year's driver lineups are mostly set in stone, and it's basically more of the same. Mainly rearranging the deck chairs than rocking the system.

      Now that he's first in the standings, he should  canter to victory by half a lap or so in the next few races, at nice easy tracks where he's won multiple times, that suit him and his car down to the ground. Then everyone can marvel at how great he is. As he realises himself, some things never change.

      Some might argue it was easier when you had a semi-auto box and didn't have to adjust 20 dials on the dashboard while trying to drive.
      There is something about those 90/00 cars though. Lighter and look like they're dancing on the tarmac.
      I don't believe older generation of drivers would enjoy the transistion to the heavier F1 cars nowadays that require days on a simulator to
      intergrate into the systems.

      I have the same 3 Racer just in different order.
      Hamilton
      Senna
      Schumacher


      All preferance really Keith.
      I'm sure others might argue that Vettel & Prost should be in the debate,
      but I think Hamilton & Senna are in instead.
      Others might put Fangio and Lauda in instead.

      Honda: Red Bull engine partner to leave F1 at end of 2021 - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/54383259

      RedBull and Horner in a tricky place now regarding engines.

      Renault the most obvious choice, and maybe only choice, but after the way they moved to Honda those chats would be interesting to hear.

      They still have to retain the championships yet.

      He might be the most successful driver of all time, but in order to be the greatest, you have to face serious competition and a degree of risk. Strolling every race by half a lap might make you the most dominant, but I can think of better drivers in years gone by, who had to earn every win they got. That is not the case atm.
