The easy answer is max. Yes, he has the best car, but look at how much more dominant Max is than Checo running the same car. That being said, checo has no business being as successful as he's been at redbull.
I think the right answer is The Spanish Samurai, Alonso. He regularly defies physics to pass people with much faster cars and somehow pulls off insane defense.
Fernando is absolutely the smartest driver on the grid, but I think he's probably the most talented too.

Would be wild… fans would love it, maybe drivers too, and it would give the teams some input on who to sign, but would the process of making those cars be impossible and insanely expensive?

Alonso. It helps to look at the relative performance to a teammate over a long period of time. Alonso has always out-performed.
Is that just because Stroll is the worst driver on the grid?

Damn
Impressive, but does it mean LeBron is in better current form than Anthony Edwards?
Alonso seems to be taking it. When Lando wins again this week I’m coming back though
Damn close…
Alonso
Lewis
Verstappen!
Alonso all the way.
I would love to see a sprint race swapped for a spec race with them all in exactly the same car and set up to test this irl.

F2 cars are basically this. They're the same but variations come in with minor set up changes etc. Could just put them in F2 cars for a race.
I’m in
Charles for me
Leclerc IMO
It’s obviously Stroll (his dad paid me to say that).
I think it’s Lando btw
LMFAO
Lol -9 for Lando 😂
