Former Formula 1 World Champion Jackie Stewart claimed that Lewis Hamilton not in the ranking of the best driver ever.
Jackie Stewart, nicknamed “Flying Scots”, in an interview with NextGen Auto. British driver Lewis Hamilton, who won 6 F1 World Championships, said that he was not among the best drivers in the world.
Stewart, who has 3 world championships in Formula 1, won 90 Grand Prix and won 6 world championships. He claimed that Mercedes achieved success thanks to its dominance and high performance.
“We cannot compare current drivers with older drivers.”
“I think Juan Manuel Fangio is the best F1 driver ever born,” said the Scottish driver. Jim Clark is 2nd and Senna is 3rd. They used to participate in 6 or 8 races a year at the time. Now pilots participate in 21/22 races a year. So we cannot compare current drivers with older drivers. Lewis Hamilton, pretty good pilot, I don’t underestimate his talent, of course, but they’re not the same thing.”
