Carlos from Spain:
reginos:
 

We cannot do an "as if" analysis and guess what Alonso and the rest could have done in different car. This is a very hypothetical, abstract and speculative exercise which is open to arbitrary conclusions.

Then to say that Ham is the star of its era without knowing what the other top drivers could have done in the same car is just as an arbitrary a conclusion, just as hypothetical, abstract and speculative. You can't have it both ways.

What kind of sophism is this? Smiley

What we have been experiencing in GP racing is some kind of virtual reality and I don't know it?

We make conclusions by what has actually happened and what is happening in front of us. Real life has elevated  Hamilton and not some sort of hypothetical wishful thinking.

That said, even though Schummacher for example had the best car during years as well, there is a difference in how he dominated compared to Ham or Vettel, or Rosberg or Button... they were not on the same level.

Schumacher has a glorious racing record but this has been blurred by the known controversies like  collisions at crucial races (HIll and Villeneuve), penalty for dangerous driving, blocking in Monaco qualifying and cynical  team orders. His reputation as a sports personality is not as impeccable as his statistics.
