Rosberg makes shock Hamilton verdict in GOAT debate
Nico Rosberg shared his thoughts on Lewis Hamilton’s F1 career, ranking two former Mercedes teammates in his top five all-time drivers. Hamilton holds numerous records and shares the most world championships with Michael Schumacher.
Rosberg defeated Hamilton in the 2016 championship before retiring. He now places Max Verstappen in his top five racers of all time, with Hamilton at the top. Juan Manuel Fangio and Schumacher are also on Rosberg’s list.
Fangio won two championships with Mercedes. Schumacher, who raced with Rosberg at Mercedes 2.0, sits second to Hamilton in various all-time records. Verstappen is quickly closing in despite his young age.
Ayrton Senna, another driver on Rosberg’s list, was a qualifying master with multiple championships. Senna’s life ended tragically, but he remains an inspiration for current drivers.
