Supreme speed, skill, judgment and racing intelligence, he has everything. The ultimate racer. I understand why people get annoyed with his perceived mardyness, but I like it. I like the fact he has that hard determination and drive to always want to win, and continue to improve.

He is the bar and there’s no one currently in the sport who can match him, or even get close to his skill level. Verstappen could, maybe, but he still has much to learn.
Agreed, as a racer he is brilliant. His awareness of what is going on around him, on the whole, is up with that of Fangio and I watch F1 on TV as an interested spectator and not to have political or social messages thrown at me regardless of how admirable. The "knee" thing is cringeworthy and had he been an Albon or Latifi I doubt that he'd have as many supporting his stance on the track. I wonder how much all this has played a part in his recent errors, missing the pit lane closure, doing practice starts in the wrong place, and a couple of others.

At the race track please stick to racing Lewis.
