Interesting to read Hamilton has equalled or is about to equal a bunch of Schumacher's records.
Hamilton is probably the best of the bunch at the moment, and he has maintained a long period of tenancy in the fastest car, which means he betters his team-mates regularly. Does that make Hamilton the driver equal of Schumacher, Senna or some other greats?
I do realise there was a lot of politics in the Schumacher era, but I don't think there is any less now, it's just delivered differently.
I'm not sure modern F1 is a true measure of driver, for me there is too much remote control influenced by engineers and technology, technology that allows cars to be reconfigured on the fly. I preferred the old days, when how a car left the grid was how the car performed, all configured and setup in advance.
I particularly dislike drivers begging over the radio mid-race for permission to dial up more power.
