There's no denying Max can be quick but if he doesn't become a Champion this season or next he's time will have passed.
Granted that all true F1 fans would like to see Max & Lewis racing with equal machinery but this is F1 & it's rare that two or more teams run equal cars, Max just hasn't been driver enough to make up for the current disparity....unlike the truly great drivers that have been able to take Championships without having the advantage of having the 'best' car.
That's not meant as disrespect to Max he may well become a once or twice Champion but he will never be up there with the greats....that's just a fact, sorry Phillippe I know Max is your guy & If I had to choose between Max & Lewis to have a beer or two with I'd have the beer with Max but to be fair I'm not especially a fan of either of them
