Let's be honest he's probably not going to say it's one of the others whilst he's currently working with Lewis, he also said at a guess.tangodjango wrote: ↑27 Aug 2020, 18:39This one by James Allison is also revealing:dans79 wrote: ↑27 Aug 2020, 18:21Andy Cowell on Lewis.

"Lewis is the best. Outstanding natural talent and that inquisitive curiosity and tenacity. He'll push for progress and push for people to hear his viewpoint in a nice way. And as an individual he's not competitive to the point of being nasty and there are some individuals on the planet who push competitiveness to the point where it bubbles over to just not being sporting. Lewis is a true sportsman and a motivator of the team. An outstanding talent. His exemplary performance makes everybody look up and go 'I need to be at that level, I need to be operating my game at that level'."
James Allison, technical director at Hamilton’s Mercedes team, is in a unique position to judge his qualities. Allison has worked closely with not only Hamilton but also Schumacher, Alonso and four-time champion Sebastian Vettel.
“If they all had to be in a super-team fighting it out every year,” Allison says, “my guess is that Lewis would end up on top. Maybe not every season, but if they kept coming back every year to do battle in some sort of Valhalla-type confrontation, more often than not it would be Lewis wearing the crown at the end of the year.
“Of that cluster, I think he is the quickest, at his best, and he shows us his best extremely frequently. It’s not by accident that he is the all-time pole record holder. He just has a better turn of speed than the others.”
