Even though throughout his career Michael Schumacher had his fair share of worthy challengers but more often than not it was obvious that he was the gold standard in F1.

Lewis, on the other hand, has had to fight for that status a bit longer. He's been in a fight with Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso for more than a decade now but with his recent stint with Mercedes and consistent domination of Sebastian Vettel it is very hard to pick anyone but Lewis as the driver who is at the top of the list right now. He's consistent, he's fast, he's enigmatic and he has pretty much beaten Sebastian Vettel in every way possible.
