OVERZICHT: Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel of Fernando Alonso. Wie is de beste?

Kunnen statistieken aangeven wie van de drie topcoureurs Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel en Fernando Alonso de beste is? Motorsportmagazine.com deed een poging. Zo zou Alonso de beste zijn als het gaat om het verslaan van ploeggenoten. Maar cijfers kunnen ook subjectief zijn want wie bepaalt hoe goed een teamgenoot is. En Hamilton had in zijn tijd bij McLaren en Mercedes teamgenoten die vrijuit mochten racen tegen de regerend wereldkampioen. Oordeel zelf.
