Entries: 231

World Championships: 5

Wins:74

Poles: 84

If you have to ask who is currently the best driver on the grid then there won't be many who would argue against Lewis Hamilton. Lewis has really established himself in the last few years as the numero uno driver in Formula One, especially after the beating he's given Sebastien Vettel in the last few years(someone who was supposed to be going neck and neck against him for the world championship).

He's fast(sometimes breathtakingly fast), consistent and what he's been able to do is push himself in pressure situations and beat his competition. Lewis has had a great story as he's risen from a very humble background and grown on to become this huge celebrity in his own. One blot on his career if there is any is the fact that he's lost to two of his teammates Jenson Button and Nico Rosberg over a season and that is something that you just don't expect from a driver of his caliber.
