itsFake [#4]at least top 3 for sure but what really helped him to be the best was the car, his car was much superior
my eyes are bleeding reading this

How? Senna is an icon but not better than Max, Lewis nor Schumacher.
ccccc_ [#8]born after 2010?
Verstappen breaks record after record, has a not so good car, and yet he is always at the top;
compare his performance with tsunoda for example
If Verstappen wins this WDC you can forget about Schumacher's and Hamilton's 7 Championships
this one towers above all of them
Rn? Sure
Prime Lewis & Schumacher are still better tho esp the latter
Unfortunate what happened to him

these guys are pure ass
verstappen is 100% by far the best driver on the grid, of all time its hard to compare

I think max is the Best in the world, i think max is one of the greatest of all time. But max is winning in the faster car, and the faster car almost always wins. Because it's fucking motor racing no person racing
Bro the fucking Red Bull has been the second best/best car for 3 races in a row im sick of this underdog gimmick
pr1zm [#11]i could name 3 drivers that is better than Senna
i dont really see the point in picking drivers from completley different generations of formula 1 and calling them the goats. Senna's era was so much harder to control cars because of stuff like power steering and an automatic transmission being non-existent. Schumacher's era had wayyy smaller cars that were easier to control than the absolute dump trucks that are the curent gen f1 cars. comaprison of the goat should be done in terms of their respective eras :)
Marii [#62]Bro the fucking Red Bull has been the second best/best car for 3 races in a row im sick of this underdog gimmick
not really gng, id say baku is when we really saw it being better as even yuki had a good performance. Max is just so good he makes the car look good lmao
Everyone’s got their own way of judging who the GOAT is; titles, the car, the rivals, whatever, so it’s hard to settle that.
What I’m sure about is he’s the best driver we’ve ever seen, and there’s a clear gap between him and second place.
djhfghfghfgh [#65]not really gng, id say baku is when we really saw it being better as even yuki had a good performance. Max is just so good he makes the car look good lmao

Zandvoort-2nd fastest

what are u gonna say about that 😂✌🏻
Congo1 [#46]FIA essentially bombed Ferrari hq and factory with new regs after schumi
the only reason there are specified wind tunnel hours and specific previous cars testing rules is because of how hard jean todt and ross brawn led ferrari worked
we did hundreds of laps every day
there is no one specific goat
as regulations change, new tech comes in, cars become harder to drive overtime
there are only best drivers of a certain regulation period
for example, verstappen's dominance of the modern ground effect era makes people say he is the greatest driver of all time, sebastian vettel's 4 championships in a row and hamilton's records made people call them better than schumacher.
the only drivers that have had long success in different regulations are verstappen, hamilton, fernando alonso, ayrton senna, alain prost and niki lauda (verstappen would be quite a bit of reach based on longevity as he has only been in the sport for 10 years but even when he was rookie in 2017-2020 regs he showed great performances)
besides these names no other driver has had such long successful careers and should not be considered
REMEMBER THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO SHIT ON A DRIVER TO PROVE HOW GOOD ANOTHER DRIVER IS

So saying better means he will beat them ?

if they are saying max is better than them then it means they know max will beat them in equal machinery.
eddie jordan said, he had schumi and senna in the car and all 3 in the same car and max will beat them. he maybe praising him too much but even then it means, he considers max equal to the goats

U really saying eddie is comparable to senna and schumi itself is a joke even oscar can beat him
And for max he can only win when car is decent because nowadays cars are considered important than skill u can see by this by the Last 3 season if u even put sainz in 23 rb car he will easily win 7 races Even in 09 brawn only won because of their car...
In 90s skill was the most important thing

itsFake [#31]put him in the Ferrari to race against Max, he won't win the championship.
I'm a max fan but let's be honest schumacher vs max neither of them would win the title with how often they'd crashout.
itsFake [#16]I don't think he'll win this year, but whatever he's done is impressive.
Yes there's like a 1% chance he wins this but tbh it was like 0.0001% before baku and then literally everything went in his favor.

Serath [#85]but he isn't the goat, read the post again
there is no goat of F1 though. Every era was vastly different and it's basically a different sport every regulation. Lewis was the best in the first hybrid era, then it was max. Before that it was vettel and before that was schumacher. There are different legends in every regulation. The best argument only really has some credence when it comes to max cause sometimes it feels like he can drive anything to its limits not just formula 1. If he goes to win Le mans or some other motorsport then he's easily one of the best racers of all time just off of raw ability.

eddie jordan isnt even a dedicated f1 racer dumbass why u comparing him to racers.
cars were always important, its about where the car matters
good car:- for wins
decent car:- for points
bad car:- get close to top 10.
max doesnt have a car as fast as the mclarens and still he has most pole pos this yr LOL
"sainz in 23 rb car he will easily win 7 races" max won 19? LOL
"In 90s skill was the most important thing" ahh yes, senna lapped the entire grid except his teammate with just skill and no fast car. TRUE TRUE

Yeah bro, cars were always the same level of important. That’s why Senna’s McLaren MP4/4 only won 15/16 races by pure driver aura. Prost was just chilling, letting Senna ‘skill gap’ the field. And Schumacher? He didn’t need Ferrari’s dream team, he was just out there bench-pressing the F2004 into pole. Max doesn’t even drive the RB20 — he just free-climbs Eau Rouge and sets pole with his stopwatch. But sure, keep pretending the gap between top and midfield in 2023 is the same as the 90s. Pure comedy.

when did i ever say the gap is the same? i said car were never the same. many ppl have been driving shit boxes and some ppl had good cars which used them to its full potential. current best example is literally lando norris, valtteri bottas asw.
anyone can only win when the car is decent, i didnt see senna win in a complete shit box, they had championship cars asw, but no u guys need max to drive a HAAS and gap mclaren by 20+sec SURE.
