Sebastian Vettel has insisted that Michael Schumacher is the greatest of all-time after Lewis Hamilton won his seventh world title with Mercedes and equaled Michael Schumacher’s record earlier this month.
Hamilton is now set to be knighted for his achievements in the sport in the New Year honours.
Speaking in an interview with
MotorSport, Vettel said: "I still say that Michael is the best of all-time for me.
"When it came down to it, he unlocked a kind of extra level. I have never felt this fascination, this talent in anyone else."
He added: "I think he was better than anybody else I've ever seen so far. I think he had a natural talent that is very difficult to explain.
"I think if you saw him go karting, obviously I didn't see him at a young age but I did at an older age, and I was happy to join him in the Race of Champions a couple of times.
"So you see a little bit more of the skills and the car control.
"On top of that, he had an incredible work ethic, but I think it's the combination of the two that for me stands out. I haven't seen a match yet."
