[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1079729, member: 45598"] Hakkinen's 99 win was also probably in the second best car. It balances out because he was against Irvine who was on the quicker end of ordinary and spent a large portion of the season as second driver. Not trying to refute anything, I just love Mika. Can't agree on the Vettel assessments though, he had an early peak and wasn't the same driver in the hybrid era but achieved too much at Toro Rosso and RB not to be considered a great. His first win was in a worse car than Hamilton ever raced in and he had far more competition for his ***les than Hamilton had for any of his Merc ones. 4 in a row is a very select group, 9 in a row is a group of one, a race winner for three different teams, podiums for four different teams. He's not in the GOAT conversation but definitely in and around the same level as Prost for me, never won a championship in the slower car but a devastatingly good front runner with the fastest car which many a good driver has shown is more difficult than it looks (go back to the aforementioned 99 season Mika) [/QUOTE]
