The greatest of all time in Formula 1 debate will continue to run even after 100 years and we still can't get the answer. Each driver is greatest during their time. But recently there’s a debate growing about who is the greatest F1 driver between Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher.

Former Formula 1 driver Rubens Barrichello who raced with both these drivers tells us who is the greatest driver between them. He said "Is Hamilton better than Schumacher? I think so. I competed with both but was only there in the early years of Hamilton, but I think so."

Barrichello had a Formula 1 career between 1993 and 2011 which is the same time as Michael Schumacher. The German Formula 1 driver during this time won 7 Formula 1 world titles. Hamilton won his first title in 2008 and then in 2014, 2015, 2017-2020.

Lewis Hamilton completely dominated the Hybrid era where he won 6 world titles with Mercedes. Michael Schumacher was the only driver to win world titles with V12 and V10 engines. Michael Schumacher gave retirement in 2006 and he again returned in 2010 with Mercedes and raced against Lewis Hamilton who was at that time a McLaren driver.

Barrichello says Hamilton was more of a Natural driver than Michael that is the one thing that makes him the greatest of all time. Michael on the other hand was very technical with his skills and team. Next year Lewis will join the Maranello squad which looks like one last time for the Brit and he will be in the footsteps of Michael Schumacher to retire from the sport at Ferrari. Schumacher won 5 world titles for Ferrari.

Lewis Hamilton is also looking to win his missed 8th world title at Ferrari and end the Italian team's world championship drought which they have been facing for the last one and half decades. Though Lewis Hamilton won 7 world titles, he won with a dominant machine, unlike Michael Schumacher who had some great competitions.
