That wasn't the original question (great or not). The question is who is the better driver. At the moment there's an easy answer. FA makes too many mistakes, drives raggedly, maybe overdrives because he's under pressure. LH drives virtually errorfree, so he leads the championship (which incidentally is a yardstick for the quality of a driver among other things) and deservedly so. This could change very quickly, but I doubt it...

So i'm not allowed to go OT?

I'd say FA by far is the better driver at this stage. That is not reflected as much in the results. FA has proven himself to be a great driver with the 2 WDCs to show it! LH is the rookie who finds himself in the perfect storm and is sailing the waves. He has exceeded his and everyone elses expectations and now has a realistic chance for the WDC in his debut yr. An amazing feat but he has also trained and been coached to be here by a top player in the game. At present he is winning the battle with FA but FA is getting more cunning with each race. Plus FA has the better car development skills that LH is learning and benefitting from. Can LH drive a team to greatness? We know FA can. Lets talk after the next 3 races! If LH continues to beat Alonso then we can at least say as a driver he is as good and will likely get better.
