Eddie Jordan has declared that Lewis Hamilton will go down in history as the greatest F1 driver of all time regardless of the result in Abu Dhabi this afternoon.
“Max won here last year, but the impetus is absolutely with Lewis,” he told BBC Breakfast on Saturday morning.
“I think what Lewis did more than anything by winning [in Saudi Arabia] and the way he won in Brazil has embraced a huge amount of world audience to his stable.
“And that was the most sensational race people have seen from current – in the modern era anyway – Grand Prix drivers of what they are able to do with a car and how they do it.
“So beyond any doubt, I don’t think it’s a test between [Michael] Schumacher’s seven titles or Lewis’… Lewis has already won much more races than Schumacher did, so for me he is the best driver that has ever been.”
