Best F1 Driver

The best Formula 1 driver is a topic of debate among fans and experts alike. It is hard to quantify the best F1 driver, as variables such as the car they drive, the competitors they have and sometimes sheer luck can put one driver over the other. However, according to Autosport, the best F1 driver statistically is Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton has won 103 races, secured 7 world championships, and has the most career points in F1 history1.
