While Valtteri Bottas tried delaying the inevitable of Lewis Hamilton breaking Michael Schumacher‘s record at Sochi, the historic moment manifested at Eifel GP, 2020. However, the two men continue to stay tied at the 7x championship mark, often sparking debates amongst the F1 world as to who the greatest of all time is. F1 Expert weighs in on the eternal debate after Mercedes insider’s disloyal remarks.

Peter Windsor was carrying on with an interactive live stream on YouTube when a fan told him that the recently returned James Allison had picked Michael Schumacher over Lewis Hamilton in a one-lap pace. The F1 Pundit went on to explain his pick at the same time, addressing the fact that everyone is entitled to their opinion. But he also stated that engineer’s conversations with the drivers are merely restricted and hence they cannot really form an informed opinion.

He said, “And I’m not saying that James Allison doesn’t know exactly what he’s talking about, I’m sure he’s basing all that on all his own information, but to me, there is absolutely no way in the world Michael Schumacher, at his peak, was quicker over one lap than Lewis Hamilton at his peak over one lap, no way. Sorry, I just totally don’t get that, I disagree with it.”

Toto Wolff believes these rumors come every time they are set to sign a new contract. This statement isn’t untrue as similar rumors surrounded the champion a few years ago as well. But Wolff said he feels no pressure and the duo are discussing the contract at their own pace.

He reveals the real reason for the delay. He said, “It’s just uncomfortable that two friends, two blood brothers who have been through thick and thin for ten years, suddenly have to discuss money. I’m firmly convinced that we’ll find each other. There’s not a millimeter of doubt for me. I can’t imagine anything else. If we give Lewis a competitive car, he will win for a long time. Look at Tom Brady and what he was still capable of in his 40s.”
