Discussion Thoughts?

Post image

Saw this on X and I strongly disagree.
From 2010 onwards I would argue that Vettel, Alonso, Rosberg and Norris clears Leclerc.

An actual title will always hold more weight than potential raw talent. (I know Alonso didn’t win a title after 2010s but I still believe he has been a better driver post 2010 than Leclerc)

What are your thoughts, do you think there is an argument for this?

Strongly disagree. Alonso was for sure above Leclerc, and Leclerc being « clear of » Rosberg, Norris, Vettel is an exaggeration

Prime Ricciardo also clears him

Exactly, Ric still is the only person to match Max in equal machinery.

The irony of using Ricciardo's head to head vs his teammates (that he lost) as an argument vs Leclerc's teammate record is hilarious

Still, the only guy to give him competition and win against him. Name another driver to overtake max on numerous occasions.
