Max Verstappen vs Lewis Hamilton
In recent seasons, the question of who is currently the best Formula 1 driver has never had a clear majority answer among fans: is it the seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, or the reigning three-time world champion Max Verstappen? This question was also posed to former driver Ralf Schumacher by *formule1.de*, and he had no doubts about it.

Ralf Schumacher’s Opinion
Michael Schumacher’s brother, in fact, “voted” for Red Bull’s #1: “In terms of talent, Max still has an edge.” With six races remaining in the championship, Max Verstappen is still in contention for the world title despite McLaren’s strong comeback, and after the controversial end to the 2021 championship, he remains the man to beat.

“Walking on Water”
Lewis Hamilton, after Mercedes’ golden era, won his home Grand Prix at the Silverstone circuit this season, and Scuderia Ferrari is now waiting for him for the next championship to aim for his eighth world title, surpassing the record he currently shares with Michael Schumacher. “We have seen that in Formula 1, it’s up to a team to provide its drivers with the car to win a Grand Prix,” Ralf continued. “We all thought Lewis could walk on water, and personally, I thought Max could too. I believe Max has more talent than Lewis. That puts him in a different category.” – he concluded.
